Anatomy Scan Results

We had an amazing anatomy scan yesterday! I just love being able to look at the babies for a straight hour, especially now as they look even more like babies than they did at 12 weeks.

Both babies are perfectly healthy. Baby A, the little wiggle worm made it difficult to get all the measurements and Baby B was a little show off. Eventually they got everything they needed and we learned who's been growing in my belly.

Baby A, is a girl. I'm most shocked by this because at the NT scan they were pretty confident that Baby A was a boy! Her heart rate was 144 and her estimated weight is 12 oz.

Baby B, is a boy. His heart rate was 143 and his estimated weight is 10 oz. He was our little show off. It was like he was posing for the camera.

Both babies are head down and Baby Boy B was spooning Baby Girl A. It was too cute, but of course she turned her head and we never got a great picture of this.

My cervix was 5.2 cm, which from what I've read looks pretty good and the doctor was quite pleased with it.

It was such a wonderful experience and I'm so amazed how much they've grown and developed since 12 weeks. I go back again at 26 weeks and will then start going every 4 weeks to monitor their growth.
Here are my favorite pictures
