22 week growth scan

22 week growth scan

Today I went into Mercy for my 22 week growth scan for the twins.  I was there a little over an hour.  Everything looked great and…. they are still GIRLS!  🙂

Baby A was measuring 1 lb 5 ounces with a heart beat of 159, and Baby B measured 1 lb 3 ounces with a heart rate of 157 bpm.  My cervix also looked perfect.  The ultra sound tech said everything looked great and didn’t change my due date from September 23rd.

I got to meet Dr. Atlas!  I told the ultrasound tech my story about why I’ve moved around doctors and she chatted with Dr. Atlas to see if he wanted to swing in and say hello.  He was super friendly and came in and introduced himself.  We talked about some of the risks of trying for a VBAC and about my experience at Hopkins with the boys.  It made me feel more relaxed.  I really hope these little ones align themselves correctly!

I got a bunch of pictures which I will scan into the computer and put right here.  Even got to see 3d versions.  I like to look back at the 3d versions of the boys because they look exactly like the 3d scan (of course it was at 32 weeks so a little further along).  Baby B was squished down in the bottom so it was tough to get pictures of her, and Baby A had her hands up covering her face for most of the ultrasound.  If you look closely on the 3d scan of Baby B, you can see her sisters foot up by her face.  Already pretty jammed in there!
