Ultrasound #2

Everything went well with Ultrasound #2 last week. Both girls were about 9 oz. and measuring a few days short of the 19 calendar weeks that I am supposed to be. These videos are just a few seconds long, although they are taking me a LONG time to download. I have several more but I don't want to overload anyone else's computer either :)

We do think there are 2 placentas, and since the babies are similar sizes, there is probably little concern about them sharing the nutrients where one gets more than the other. I'm hoping we can settle on names soon (biblical first, family middle), so they aren't just termed "the twins" or "the girls" right away, although that is natural and expected........Baby B has been the most active and seemed to turn first, then baby A would follow, both staying in similar positions--if one was breech, so was the other, then when B turned transverse (sideways), so did A. I thought it unusual to see them so stretched out--mine seemed to usually have their feet up at their heads, in the "fetal" position, but baby B especially really stretches out!! I am not feeling a ton of movement, but my placenta(s) could also be blocking a lot of that.

I think baby bottoms and baby feet are adorable--they are disgusting later in life, but on babies? CUTE!
