So What are We Having?

Here it is finally!!! I feel like I've been on the phone all day- then my internet went down so it took awhile!

First they did a quick look at both babies heart beats- I’ve been a little worried about “Baby B” the last couple of days because “Baby A” has been moving like crazy but “Baby B” hasn’t moved hardly at all (see the comparisons are already starting). It’s always a relief to see both of those little heart beats.

They did all the measurements on “Baby A” I mean ALL of the measurements. Baby A was moving around the whole time. It took almost 4 tries to get an accurate heart beat because of all the movement. Everything looked really good… then she finally did the between the legs shot. She asked, “What do you see mom and dad?” It was really easy to tell...

It’s a BOY!!!!

Sorry I was going to post the actual shot but I felt a little weird, so profiles will have to do. Just trust me it was easy to tell. Sorry again for the bad pictures of a picture... I need a scanner. They didn't do a 3-D this time because they were too busy doing all the other measurements. I might post some video later though.

My first reaction was- oh man I’m going to have to figure out this boy thing. My second reaction was- he’s an active little boy- which makes me laugh since I don’t like generalizations- but it’s true. I’ve totally noticed a TON more movement from him than “Baby B” but Charlotte was always a mover too…

Then she moved on to “Baby B” I have to admit I was hoping she wouldn’t make me wait for all the measurements and she didn’t. This time she did the between the legs shot and said what do you see?

I couldn’t really tell at first- and I didn’t want to guess wrong. Then I said I don’t see the same thing- that looks like a girl! Then she showed us the three lines and confirmed that it was

A GIRL!!!!

I am so excited!! I have to admit that even though I was guessing boys I never felt like they were both boys, and if I had to pick I would have picked one of each. Of course that’s easy to say now that we know that’s what we’re having! So I think I swayed the vote with my “2 boys” premonition after Charlotte. Just so you know I didn’t have any premonitions this time for any future children!

Everything else looked really good. And they are definitely fraternal!

Baby Boy A- Head Down facing inward, 8 oz measuring 18 weeks 6 days (there is some room for error on the measurements), He is still the “presenting” twin meaning he’s lower so he’ll probably come out first- thus how he got the “A” label. He’s been moving almost constantly the last couple of days.

Baby Girl B- Head Up (Breech), 7 oz measuring 18 weeks 2 days- this is good that they are so close in size. The further along I get the more this can vary especially with the different genders. She was all snuggled up in there- being pretty chill most of the time. She did get a little wiggly at the end. I’ve been feeling some soft jabs on my left side, almost on my back from her. I don’t know if means she’s not as much of a mover or if the placenta is just right in front of her or something. It’s weird to have a baby that’s not as crazy so far!

They still have plenty of room to move around in there so the head down or up isn’t that important at this point but it will be very important at the end!

So who guessed right and who guessed wrong? Any name ideas? I am a little worried about picking out two names, but I am so happy to know the genders!!!
