16 Weeks Check Up

May 1st we went to our routine 16 weeks check up at the high risk doctor. We were definitely hoping that the ultrasound tech would be able to determine the genders or our sweet little twins. When we told our ultrasound tech that we'd love to know the genders, she said that she wasn't that experienced in genders at our early gestational age. But, that she would get a more experience tech in there to help after she had taken all the measurements that she needed. She began her scan with baby A and started taking measurements. Then, all of the sudden we saw our definite answer to baby a's gender. HE was not shy at all showing his neither region! Lol. Our tech then scanned baby B and HE was just as proud to show us what he had! TWO BOYS! We could not be happier. Both babies are growing at the same rate (which is great). Baby A is 6 ounces and B is 5 ounces. The boys were already punching and kicking each other. Of course, they are already crowded in there. They were positioned in what the doctor called a transverse position....which just means they were laying east to west position instead of north to south. They had their little heads laying together. They were so sweet and it's just amazing to see these little babies growing so fast. The ultrasound tech finished the baby scan and went on the scan and measure my cervix. For sure not the most pleasant part of the visit. But all measured great. There was just a slight problem that baby a's placenta was low-lying. It normally doesn't cause a problem and they will just keep an eye on it at each visit. When the tech was scanning my cervix Baby A keep coming into the view of the screen...waving his little hand. It almost looked like he was saying "look at me, look at me!". Haha! We met with doctor after the ultrasound. He said that everything looked fine and that we needed to return in 3 weeks for what will be the official anatomy scan. We also met with our nurse practitioner. She is so nice and takes so much time with us. I had just a couple of pregnancy symptoms that we went over (achy belly, numb hands mostly at night and major forgetfulness). She told me that all of those things are normal and that I am right on track with my weight gain. I gained a little over 4 pounds since my last visit 4 weeks ago. I am suppose to gain another 8 pounds before 20 weeks (4 weeks away). We are so thankful for all of our friends, family, doctors (both here and in Wisconsin) and most of all INCIID. Without all of you, the dream that we are living right now would have never come true. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! We love you all very much. Please keep our little family in your prayers and help us welcome our precious baby boys!
