Pregnant with Twins (Embarazada de Mellizos)
My lovely wife is pregnant with twins and the first trimester officially ends on Thursday, February 25, 2010. Of course, you want to see the pictures and I won’t deny you.

Here is the latest Ultrasound from this last Thursday:
Our twins at Week 11. (Click for High Resolution.)
Things seemed to be going fine with the Ultrasound when the doctor noticed some strange behavior.
Twin A turned to face Twin B so as to minimize his profile.
Fortunately, I was there and was able to interpret what was happening inside Mary’s tummy.
From Twin A's invitation in 4th, Twin B attempted to find the sword on the outside line in 3rd with his hand in 2nd. Twin A, executed a cavazione di tempo, but executed it as a feint. Twin B counterattacked in 4th only to be parried by Twin A in 4th who responded with a riversa to the outside cheek. Twin B eluded the cut to the outside cheek by lifting his hilt into Italian sabre parry of 7th and then in a sudden transition Twin B attempted to pass and seize the off hand of Twin A with a Spanish Movement of Conclusion. Perfectly in synch with Ettenhard's theory, Twin A eluded the circular footwork with circular footwork of his own and the phrase ended.
Seriously Now…
When Mary and I got back from Spain, we got our lives back into a semblance of order and then gave it our best shot. We got pregnant almost immediately and had a bit of a scare at 7 weeks when we thought we were out of the game for awhile.
We were scheduled for an emergency ultrasound and that’s when we discovered not only was Mary still pregnant, but that there were two little hearts beating in there. We’re incredibly happy and things are going very well for us now.
Because of the earlier scare, we have been keeping this quiet but with the first trimester ending next week we’re lifting the veil of secrecy. My blog has been remarkably quiet of late and that’s because a good deal of our effort has been consolidated into writing up our experiences as we go through the pregnancy on Mary’s blog. Until today, these entries have been password protected with only immediate family having access.
The due date for a typical pregnancy would be about September 9, 2010. With our twin pregnancy, we expect the twins to arrive sooner, sometime in mid August.
