Isaac has been trying very hard to turn over (back to front) for quite a while now but he just couldn't figure out how to get completely over. Well, today at around 6:30 pm, I put him on his back in the middle of his play mat and went over to the other side of the room to look at his diary (we write down when and how much milk he drinks). I was adding up the total and I looked up and he was on his tummy!!!! I SO KNEW that this would happen. That he would do something great for the first time and I would be right there and miss it! This is because my life seems to be governed by Murphy's Law. Well, it doesn't matter. I am just so happy that he finally reached this milestone.
He had to go back on O2 after that one day but he is definitely eating better and has been consistently reaching around 800 ml (@27 ounces) a day now. His weight gain also started being more consistent this week (the few weeks before it would go up and down and stall quite a bit) He weighed 5.91 kgs (13 lbs) tonight.
I haven't really had a chance to take pictures and videos lately. I am hoping to to able to do so tomorrow and the day after. We actually have Monday off in Japan although I do have to work a little bit.
I will post more after I take the pics and hopefully videos!
Oh, I have been wanting to do this for a while. About a year ago, we did a 4D ultrasound session when we went on our Babymoon in Hawaii. It was wonderful and the only time I was able to really see Rachel moving around. The u/s technician was so excited to see twins she spent almost an hour with us. I was 14 weeks pg then. We basically watched Rachel kick Isaac the entire time and then flip over at the end. It was a very sweet time. We got great pictures and also a DVD (although we have not been able to watch the DVD again because its been too hard to). I will always cherish that week in Hawaii when the 4 of us spent a really wonderful and idyllic time together as a family.
Here are a couple of pictures.

Oh Sonia! Those are wonderful pictures! You moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing.
Way to go Isaac! You aren't alone, I missed many of the firsts for my kids...first steps, etc. because I was working. My husband got them all because he was the SAHD. I know exactly how you feel!
Sounds like Isaac is getting really big! 13 lbs. is really great!
Love,
Susan
I haven't visited your site in awhile and I have been missing updates on HP I guess, as I've been locked out and didn't realize it for who knows how long! LOL! It is so good to see how well Issac is doing! What an amazing miracle that little man is!
The photos of Rachel and of Rachel and Issac are precious! Thank you for sharing them.
Praying for your sweet family today!
