Gah, it moved!

I have to be honest, feeling one of the babies move around under my wife's skin is a bit alarming. Maybe I've just seen "Alien" one too many times, but when I put my hand on a heretofore smooth bit of unjostling skin, and then something slides under my palm like it's reaching out to me, well, what can I say?

On the baby front, I can report they are moving around now, and judging by Erin's lamentations, engaged in a heady game of one-on-one soccer, perhaps involving her bladder or maybe a liver. Apparently all we're requesting right now is that kid #2 on the right just stop using her lower rib as a jungle gym. Otherwise Erin is doing well and is still at this point mobile. I think we have another ultrasound around the beginning of November, so stay tuned for updates to our picture gallery around that time.

On a personal note, my work softball team just finished the season with a record of 4-2, thus clinching us a berth in the championship game for the first time ever. This is an exciting development, as in all previous years we've been scratching and clawing for last place.

Ben, when are you guys due? I've been following along and I looked back through your posts and maybe I missed it. You're posts are hysterical -- congratulations!

Hi to Erin, too!

Our original due date was early February, but I think that's based on 40 weeks and twins are normally at 38-ish weeks, so I'm forecasting January.
