What a fun appointment we had for the ultrasound today. The tech and the doctor that we saw are both twins. And we had about an hour & 15 minutes or so of watching the babies on the screen while they got all the measurements, laughing at silly things & having a great time. And without any doubt at all, clear as day . . . Baby A is a BOY and Baby B is a GIRL!
Of course we would've been happy with whatever we got, but I really wanted one of each -- it will make a lot of things simpler for us, including that we'll be able to double up on rooms in a couple of years instead of putting 3 kids in 1 room and 1 kid in their own room.
But the best part for me was in the first 60 seconds when we saw the heartbeats & saw them moving around to know that everyone is healthy & doing well, which means I can put my worrying to rest for a little while. Both babies have strong heartbeats in the 150's (154 & 158, I believe) and the doctor was amazed that they weigh the exact same amount (about 1/2 pound each), which he said he's never seen with twins before - usually one is a little larger than the other. And all the measurements they took looked great -- no problems so far! Baby A gave us a big huge grin that we got on a 3D picture -- it looks pretty creepy & we all had a good laugh at it! Seriously, he looked like the Joker!
Now to come up with names . . . . .
That is so exciting Kim!! How fun. :) Do twins run in your family?
ReplyDeleteSarah - They kind of do run in the family since my brother has twins (a boy & a girl) and my mom had 2 pregnancies that could've been twins (long stories) but ended up as singles. However, ours was invitro, so we knew from the beginning that it was a possibility.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm so excited for you guys! I didn't know twins ran in the family!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's so exciting!
