NT U/S

Yeah! We still have 2 babies. The NT scan was great. Both were in the normal range. We did opt for the blood work and will find out about that in about a week and half. The ultrasound itself was VERY long approx. 1 1/2 hours. This was due to Baby A not cooperating and showing the nuchal fold that needed to be measured. Baby B was in a perfect position, and the sonographer even gave us a gender guess (boy) and we got a bunch of cute photos. (Photos posted are pictures of photos as our scanner is broken) To finally get Baby A in the correct position they had me roll around, walk around the room and do all sorts of contortions. They ended up brining in a new sonographer who was able to get the measurement after 1/2 an hour. She also did a 3-d scan from the top down with both babies in one shot. It didn’t really look like much. As my husband pointed out the babies looked like "Han Solo frozen in carbonite."

We also met with the twin program coordinator. She gave me weight gain guidelines, food guidelines and a ton of other twin pg info.

We meet back with our MFM people in 4 weeks. After the appointment I had my midwife appointment. We once again got an ultrasound and she answered my questions. Also, I passed the 1-hour gestational diabetes screening. Woo-hoo!

Now that all is looking well, we are going public with our news.... scary and exciting!!
