Concrete Evidence

Yes,  I have had 10000 medical visits and sonograms and tests and I have felt the babies moving. But last night, for the first time they were on turbo and I could see a round bump on my right side (a head I think) and there was a definite bony thing (foot or knee?) sticking out next to my belly button. So strange but so real and concrete. F kept pushing the hard bony baby part back in and talking to it and it (I mean he/she) kept pushing back out. Fascinating. Almost wish pregnancy could last longer or that I could do it again but I think neither is realistic. The human body is a crazy thing. As we smooshed in bed this am I asked M (we like impromptu math questions) "How many people are on the bed?" She correctly answered 6 (J said 11) and then I asked, "How many grew inside of me?" Crazy to think I am/was the oven for 4/6 or 2/3 of the humans on the bed.

  1. looks like a foot, isn't ?

    on the math part.

    you plus two minibabies makes 3, thus 1/2 of the people in bed.
    if you count mojo then you are responsible of 5/6.

    but i do not understand the 2/3 answer.
    anyway, what a happy feeling.
    I'm so glad for you.
