Why oh why could you not turn in the right direction today so that we could know a little bit more about who you two are?! Ah well, soon enough I guess. We have another ultrasound scheduled in a month and so I guess we'll try again then:)
The great news is that all of their anatomy measurements were right on schedule and they are both growing at the same rate, etc. We saw their little spines very clearly. That's about all I could see clearly. Everything else just looked fuzzy. The OB would say "Oh, there's a little hand" or "there's a little foot" but it could have been anything as far as I was concerned. It was fun to hear him see everything though, and to hear him say that all looked normal.
The only thing that wasn't ideal is that their placentas are fused together, or are at least very close together, which can cause some potential problems. He said that though it isn't what he likes to see, as of now he isn't concerned and that as long as they continue growing at the same rate that there isn't a need to worry.
So that's the baby news. As crazy as it sounds, until today I thought there was still a chance that the last ultrasound was wrong, like maybe the machine had malfunctioned and just made it look like twins or something. It was just so fast and unofficial and done by a PA student (no offence Joelie), and so today was really exciting for to know that there REALLY are two little babies in that tummy (and only two as Joel and I were having visions of three and four this past week).
Oh, the other great news is that we found out that the midwives at the LDS hospital will do the prenatal care for and will deliver (as long as baby A is in the right position, and will deliver if baby B is breech with an attending OB) twins! Hurray. Oh, what relief to my soul. So the provider dilemma is coming to a close. I have an appointment with a new midwife two weeks from now.
So, that is our latest and greatest. I have a big headache (I think I was really tense during the ultrasound) and must get my lesson plans done, so that's all for now. Hope you are doing well, Jen
