Level II Ultrasound Pics

Well, it's official! We're having two boys! On Friday, I had an appointment with a perinatologist and it went very well. Detailed anatomical measurements were taken and it was confirmed that both babies are very much boys! It was so much fun to see each moving around. Baby A is still an active contortionist who likes to kick his brother-alot! Baby B is still active, but seems a little more chill than Baby A.

Both boys are developing well and show no signs of spina bifida or down syndrome and in fact were way below the markers for these. Baby A is measuring 12 oz which relates to the gestational age of 19 wks, 3 days. Baby B is measuring 9 oz which relates to the gestational age of 19 wks, 1 day (the appointment was at 19 wks 2 days). We inquired of the perinatologist of this difference and if it was anything to worry about and he said absolutely not and that we shouldn't even think about it. He said that since they are two separate babies, their growth is going to be different. He said you begin to worry about the size difference when they are weeks apart, not just a few days.

I will have to see this specialist again around 28 weeks to make sure the babies are continuing to develop right on schedule. I certainly don't mind as they have the coolest ultrasound machine I've ever seen and I get to see the babies for more than an hour! Yeah!

The first one is so cute with his arms up by his head. It kind of looks like he's throwing a temper tantrum.
