16w4d Growth Scan

We had a growth scan at MFM today. I was a bit nervous, as our spina bifida blood work had come back a bit high, but the tech said that she would be looking at the spine today and could let me know if it looked normal. She also asked us if we wanted to know the genders. OF COURSE!!!

She started with Baby A. Just like last time, this baby was in the wrong position for most of the things she needed to measure. We were able to tell right away that it was a boy! VERY clear. :) She worked and worked to get the measurements for him and then gave up and moved to Baby B. Just like last time, this baby was in the perfect position for all of the measurements. We were able to see that this baby is a boy as well! VERY clear. :) She finished his measurements and went back to try Baby B again. No luck. Their spines both look great and were measuring normally. They are both measuring a bit big for their age, which is pretty consistent with the last measurements. She then measured my cervix, and it looks fine. 

The Dr came in to discuss the results and answer any questions. It was a pretty quick visit with the Dr and then we were out the door.

I am ELATED that we are having two boys. :) So happy and giddy and excited.
