We had our second appointment and ultrasound yesterday and it was a complete turn around from the first appointment! I walked in so excited to see our babies! We started with an ultrasound so that they could measure the babies and check for placentas and sacs. Good news! Each baby has their own sac and their own placenta. This brings the risk factor way down, because each baby has their own source of nourishment and blood flow. This was great news!
Each baby is approximately 8 cm long and their heartbeats measured the same! We were just in awe of how much they have progressed from 10 weeks to 14 weeks! It's just amazing! They looked perfect and we couldn't be more thrilled! They couldn't print out pictures for this ultrasound, but we did take some on our phones.
We did find out Baby B's gender, but we are not going to tell! Baby A was a stubborn little one and the ultrasound tech was unable to confirm, but she said "off the record" what both Baby A and Baby B are! My gut tells me that she is correct, but it will be confirmed later. We plan to reveal the surprise to our family and friends at a gender reveal party!
After the ultrasound, we headed up to our doctor's office for the check-up. The nurses were cracking up when I walked in and said "You look so much better today!" They said I was one of the worst cases of shock that they'd ever seen! I told them that I apologized for freaking out and they said that they see that quite often, but not near the level of freak out that I had! I was hoping they had forgotten me over the last month! Nope! "We won't forget you!"
The doctor said everything is looking perfect. I'm up 2 more pounds, which is perfect. I talked to her about how I really want to have a natural birth if at all possible and she said her last few sets were delivered naturally. So that was reassuring to hear! We feel so blessed to have two healthy babies with two placentas and for the gender outcome! I just can't wait to shout it from the rooftops what they are!
