As of today, we're now six months pregnant. The babies weigh 1.68 lbs (760 grams) each, and they're 14 inches (35.6 cm) long, crown to heel. By this time, eyebrows and eyelashes are usually present. Over the next couple of days, the babies' fingernails will become noticeable. More importantly, brain activity has just started in the boys' visual and auditory systems. They are now able to somewhat sense the presence of light and sound, but of course they can't really comprehend anything yet. I have a feeling, when the boys are about five or six years old and parroting our every offhand or foolish remark, Morley and I are going to long for these halcyon days.
