Ultrasound Pictures

Had an hour long ultrasound on Wednesday and came home with a disk full of pics and videos. Thought it would be great to have a "wordless wednesday" and post all of them, but alas, I was tired, very sore, then we had dinner and church last night--so here it is Thursday and I have many words to say along with the pictures!!

Both babies appear healthy. We are just at 15 weeks and it is a little early to tell gender--but the guess (emphasis on GUESS--she told us to keep any receipts!!) is both girls--we do not know if they are fraternal or identical, but they are in separate sacks which is a very good thing. We saw full spines, 4 chamber hearts and all the other important stuff. Baby B gave us some good profile pics, yet was moving around a lot when it was her turn to get measured. I thought it was cute how they looked like they were in bunk beds, so that is how she labeled this picture on the left.
With how sore I was from all the pushing on my belly, I realized that I should not have big plans on future ultrasound days. She also said this is probably the last time we will get pictures of the together, so that is what I am sharing. Amazing how much improvement there is in these pics from the ones from our first 8.5 years ago! Of course, now that I've seen several, it is easier for me to know what to look for ;)



When one baby was moving, the other held still and visa versa. It was quite interesting to watch them mirror one another--both heads down and facing the same directions almost at all times.

Baby B gave us some good profile shots, although was squirmy while she tried to get her measurements. Here, you see B's profile and the shadow of A underneath.





At one point, we saw all 4 feet on the screen (don't you just love baby feet?), but they did not get captured in a picture or even video--they were moving way too much!

  3. THANK YOU ALL!!
    Although very exciting, it is difficult to, at all times, remember this as a BLESSING--especially when i do not enjoy pregnancy and then try to think too far ahead to all the what-ifs and even the realities.
