Second NT scan today

Well Today was our 2nd NT scan... the babies did not cooperate again!! I guess the good thing is 1) I got to see the babies again, 2) I can't obsess over some NT number. I did go ahead and do the blood test though.

We had a fairly young technician. She agreed to take a guess on the gender's though. :) She thinks that Baby A is a boy and even though Baby B didn't want to give us a clear shot she is taking the guess of girl. I'm pretty sure my OB will be taking a peak on Dec 13th... then I'll probably have to wait till my anatomy scan on January 5th (wow that seems so far away)!!

Here are the u/s pics from today...




Oh and I guess I will be brave and show some belly shots too. No making fun of me since I'm fluffy to begin with! LOL. I've only gained about 6 pounds so far...
The light pink shirt is at 10 weeks..................................................dark pink shirt is at 13 weeks (yesterday)
























Oh and I bought the first baby stuff today! Crazy I know since we are only 13 weeks... but the Bright Start Biscotti bouncers were 40% off!! They are normally $50 and I got them for $30 each... I just figured it was a great deal and too hard to pass up! They are a neutral color so it can go with boys and girls.

Just for Fun

Well just for fun I decided to try the "ring test". I took a piece of string and my wedding ring... held it over my left hand and it said I would have a Girl, Boy and Girl... well of course Brianna is the first girl . I then held it over my belly... on the left side it said boy... on the right side it said Girl....

Can't wait to find out for sure on ultrasound some day!!! (f/x the tech will make a guess on Monday!)

Oh yea and today was the last PIO shot at 12w6d!!!!!

Stubborn already

Well today was our NT scan. Well what was supposed to be our NT Scan!! Both babies decided to be stubborn!! Neither one of them would get in the proper position to get measured! Course it was still great getting to see them moving around and their hearts beating! 12w2d today!!! Woo hoo!! They are both measuring about 12w6d.

We go back on Monday to get a repeat NT scan.

Sick Again

This is the 2nd time this pregnancy that I have had a cold! UGH! It started with sinus drainage the last 2 days. Now I just feel like crud. I keep taking my temperature to make sure I don't have a fever.

Ok I just had a preggo brain moment... I had a whole blog entry in my head and now it's gone!!

Not much has gone on this past week (or since my last update about the OB appt). I did have an appt with my hematologist on Friday. She was happy to hear about my pregnancy. She wants to see me more often now because of it... she wants to check all my blood levels on a monthly basis right now.

I have my NT scan on Tuesday. Course I think I might have posted that in my last post. Who knows with all this forgetfulness I am going through right now.

I will be 12 weeks tomorrow!!! Woohoo!! (and I looked at my little babies ticker, I'm under 200 days left!!)

11w3d

OOps sorry I forgot to update on Monday!

The OB appt went good. I did get to see the babies on u/s. She said she would take a peek every month.

Course it bothered me a little bit when I asked, which one are you looking at now: A or B?....
Dr: well I don't know if you can tell at this point....
me: well I was told Baby A is the one closest to the Cervix.
dr: well then I guess that is this one because it is lower.


Needless to say I'm hoping the Perinatologist agrees to take me on so the OB will be doing the monthly bloodwork and stuff and that's about it. Oh my. I might have to look for another OB too, we'll see. Maybe she just doesn't deal with twins that often.

NT Scan and consult with Peri is on Tuesday.

10w1d I think it's really our time

We had our 10w1d ultrasound today. I am happy to say the babies looked beautiful. I was so afraid going in... especially when they put me in the same room that I was in this past April when we found out baby Sarah's heart stopped beating.

Both babies are measuring ahead still (10w3d and 10w4d but I was so amazed at them moving I have forgotten which was which. Guess I need to get the pictures out and concentrate on the videos more). I am attaching a video... sorry they are sideways and may make you nauseous with the moving around. LOL.

This is Baby A and Baby B (we were looking at baby B primarily... I'll have to upload the ones of Baby A too.

10 weeks

I am 10 weeks today!! I know I haven't been posting a lot. In the afternoons I have just been exhausted and have been tired of being on the computer all day for work.

The quesiness still comes and goes. I get bloated quite a bit in the evenings and dinner is just not appealing.

I've been debating about doing a belly shot today. Course being overweight to begin with I don't feel like I have a "baby belly" yet. I do feel as if my fat belly is being pushed out a bit more though.

My 10w1d u/s is tomorrow. This is my milestone u/s so I am pretty nervous. Not because I "feel" a reason to be.... just because it's the milestone of when we lost Emily. I will be so glad when we see the 2 HB tomorrow and the proper growth!! Then to finish the last weeks of the first trimester!! (and the last remaining days of the PIO shots which I get to stop at 12w0d!). I have my first OB appt on 11w1d so I'm excited about that as well.

Until tomorrow.....

Scare yesterday

And it had nothing to do with Halloween! At 9w0d I had some pink/light red spotting. It was just on the TP... and only the one bathroom trip. thankfully it was gone by the next trip (which probably 20 minutes later if that since I was freaking out so bad). I started crying... I couldn't help it. All of the bad memories came flooding back. David kept saying everything is ok, the babies are ok. I actually yelled at him cause how in the world would he know?!

Thankfully I started feeling better when it didn't happen again. I was all prepared to wait until my Tuesday ultrasound. I called the Dr office this morning to let them know about it and to ask them if I needed a rogham shot since it was light red. They told me to come in for my ultrasound today instead of tomorrow.

Babies are measuring 9w1d (both of them) which is exactly where I'm at today. Baby A HB was 183 I think.... I kind of forgot the number because Baby A was wiggling around!! First time I have seen a baby move on u/s since I was pregnant with Brianna 12 years ago!! Baby B HB was 174.

Dr says they both look great. She also says that Baby A's placenta is really close to my cervix so that is what she thinks is causing my spotting.

I go back next Monday for my 10wk ultrasound and then I have an OB appt scheduled the following monday.

Stick babies stick! Please be healthy and strong!
