A lot has happened since my first ultrasound on June 20th. I am now almost 12 weeks pregnant (I will be 12 weeks tomorrow!!!). I have had a couple more ultrasounds with my OB/GYN. I had one shortly after 8 weeks, all was well. I had another one this past Tuesday. At the one on Tuesday, Troy and I were laughing so hard! Baby A (top baby) was doing flips, jumping jacks, etc. Baby was waving its arms, kicking its legs, and looked like it was jumping. It was funny. Meanwhile, Baby B (bottom baby), was just relaxing. Guess we know which one will be the hyper one!
Then on Thursday (26th), I had the Nuchal Translucency ultrasound. This is where they test the risk of your baby having down syndrome or trisomy. The results came out great, and our risk is almost 1 in 10,000. We were able to see a lot at this ultrasound. We even HEARD the heartbeats for the first time! What an AMAZING experience! Baby A had a heartbeat of 158 and Baby B had a heartbeat of 167. Words can't explain it! The doctor asked us if we had heard the term "movers and shakers" and we said of course we have. He said, well, your babies are movers and shakers! It almost looked like they were playing with each other. Top baby stuck out its tongue, and bottom baby was waving, almost like he/she was taunting baby on top! It was so neat to see! They were both moving their arms and legs, and were both extremely active! It was definitely reassuring to see this, and to hear the heartbeats. We know our babies are doing well and we can't wait to meet them and see their personalities!
