Today we went in for our NT (nuchal translucency) scan at 12W3D. We were given a lesson in patience. It took them an hour to get us into the room. Anyone who knows me knows I hate to wait. And by hate I mean loathe, makes my skin crawl, and apparently according to G I sigh alot (which he also informs me is both annoying and embarrassing, I blamed it on the babies taking to much room and making my lung not fully inflate; pretty good off the top of my head!) While we were waiting these two woman who knew each other were talking and they stated they were both around 20 weeks. Apparently my eyes bugged out of my head when I was ease dropping and noticed neither one of them looked pregnant and I was significantly plumper in the abdominal region. G just cracked up. I didn't even know I did it. He said my eyes were going back and forth between the two at a hyper speed. I guess that's what I get for eavesdropping. When we got in there all was forgiven soon as we saw those little hearts beating away. The babies didn't waste any time movin and grovin. Right now Baby A is on below his/her brother/sister. Poor little one is being squished. Baby B is above and they are smelling each others feet. Neither one was cooperating with the poor u/s tech. Soon as she would get close to where she needs to be they'd move. Baby B was obsessed with showing us his hand. He/she was waving away, throwing baby gang signs I guess :) Baby A was all crunched up. Can ya blame him/her! We did get better head pictures of A then B and better arms pics of B. The hold time I was stifling tears and giggles. It is just the coolest things to see our babies, now looking more and more like humans, moving around in my belly. Seeing how much they are moving has me convinced the "weird" feelings I've been having just might be them moving around. They also discovered that I have placenta previa from baby A. Basically the placenta covers the cervix. Which explains the spotting I've been having (sorry if that's tmi) fortunately, it doesn't completely cover the cervix so it may move over back against the uterine wall soon. If it doesn't I will have to get a c-section. After watching you-tube I'm not totally upset about this either! G was so cute watching the screen. He kept making comments about how they were like me when they weren't cooperating and how they were like him when they were just chilling out. Thinks he's funny.
Now my first maternal intuition/guess on what we are having...... Me thinks it's a boy/girl. Now to explain my weird thoughts. I've heard if the heart rates are higher it’s a girl, and lower it's a boy. A's hr was 160 B was 149. The only thing holding me back from saying this is definitely my guess is with my second IVF I had the most amazing and vivid dream that I had twin girls. They were dressed up for Easter and both had a red bow in their hair. When I woke up I had to really think twice about whether I really had babies or not. So I guess when they are born we will see!!!! G thinks 5 months will fly by, me not so much.
Without further adieu!!!!
And my favorite! Baby A getting squished by Baby B throwing baby gang signs. I think I'm in love :) :)
