We had our weekly ultrasound today, but there are no pictures. Trust me, you wouldn’t know what you were looking at anyway. The babies are face-down, head down, and right on top of each other.
According to the sonogram computer, the girl weighs in at 3 pounds 10 ounces, and the boy is 3 pounds 2 ounces. The computer determines the weight based on the measurements of the head and legs, and then does some math or something. As a computer nerd you’d think I’d know more about this, but alas.
We’re now 31 weeks into the pregnancy. The doctor says that the goal now is to shoot for 34 weeks, while 37 weeks would be ultimately the best to hope for. However, I guess most twins don’t make it to 37 weeks and are delivered early. Although some make it all the way to 39 weeks. I guess what he’s saying is that our “due date” of October 4th is bullshit, and the babies could come anytime between now and the middle of September.
We’ve got the nursery just about finished, the cribs are assembled, the strollers are in the garage, the car seats are ready to install. Why do I still feel like I’m not ready for this?
More news as it develops.

Okay, so I haven’t updated the blog in months now. I’ve been busy, what can I say. Actually, laziness has a lot to do with it, too. I’ve got a lot of writing I need to do–not just here, but I have a comic book script that is overdue and another one that I need to finish before the twins get here.
Oh, speaking of which–we finished issue #2 of “Scar Tissue” (the full-length comic book I write). You can order a copy from Scar Tissue website. I encourage you to order one, cuz my kids gotta eat.
Anyway, I’ve pretty much decided that once the babies are born I’m going to post at least one blog entry every single week without fail during the first year of their lives. Not just for my benefit, but for theirs as well. Maybe someday they can look back on this blog and see all the stuff that was going on in their daddy’s life during their first year.
Except I probably won’t let them read it until they’re in their teens. I plan on cursing a lot on this thing.
