pictures, pictures!!

so i had a little fun with photoshop (i'm learning!) so i could label what you were seeing... i know, most of us can tell, but just in case :).  i had my 16 week appointment yesterday and everything went really well.  mama's doing well, and more importantly, the babies look really good.  she said the more extensive look at their anatomy would come at the 20 week scan, but she could see quite a bit on both of them and there are no apparent problems- their brains look complete, couldn't quite visualize all 4 chambers in their hearts, their stomachs were full, so no fistulas, she saw cord insertion on both, so their insides are on the inside, and all their measurements are right along with 16 weeks!!  chuck is measuring 164 grams, while ned is right behind at 163 grams. which both come out to 5 ounches, they're little avocado-sized buddies.  mmm, i miss california produce.  speaking of, i'm hoping that i've reached the point where i'm finally getting my appetite back- i had a good day yesterday, so i'm crossing my fingers.  and it's funny, the following picture is a week after the other one, but besides my chest not looking as smashed down, i don't think it looks that much bigger.  but it is, i promise.  observe:

at least my bum doesn't stick out so much :).  well, i think that's it for now... it's cold and rainy today (59 degrees!!), so i think i'm going to stay in my pj's for a little while longer... miss you all so much!!
