First acting job

Apparently identical twins make great actors. Something about how you can sub in one for the other when they are misbehaving, etc.  Anyway, we have joked around a lot about how we should have the babies act when they are older.  Turns out that first acting job came before they were even due to be born! One of the doctors at Stanford did an educational video about "how to do a proper neurological exam," and used both of our girls as cute baby models.  Since the neurological exam isn't traumatic (just involves things like clapping to make sure they respond to the sound appropriately, etc.), it was super fun to watch. The best part was that they chose our girls because they were "model preemies." At the point they were selected (around 34 weeks), that was music to my ears, because we were still facing some scary problems. Hearing that they are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing was just great. During the actual video, the doctor kept referring to them as "former premature babies now approaching their full gestational age," which was also awesome to hear because they still had weeks and weeks before their due date. Yay babies!

I'll update this post when I get the video that they filmed - they promised me a copy!
