I had a positive ultrasound today. My cervix now looks great (>3 inches), the babies look fine, everything is normal. Baby A weights 3 lbs 13 oz and Baby B weighs 3 lbs 15 oz. They are both facing down. Baby A’s head is way down low resting on my cervix, and Baby B’s butt is up under my rib cage. This explains my discomfit at both ends.

They couldn’t get any decent ultrasound images though, and Baby B was turning away.

It’s getting harder to get good ultrasound images now that they’re are big; only bits and pieces are possible. They did manage to get twin A’s face. Eek, I hope she has a proper nose and eye in reality. Twin B wasn’t cooperating.

Just in case you don’t know, these 3D ultrasound look odd and bumpy because they’re still sonic waves; not entirely accurate pictures.

We found out that we were having two girls! They could see labia on both of the fetuses. We’re pretty happy about this. A boy and a girl seems “perfect”, but we were relieved not to have two boys and we’re hoping that they will be closer because they’re the same sex. Anyway, it’s wonderful news.

They are starting to look like little babies!

Just little gummy bears…
