Yay! Ultrasound Day!

Monday we had an ultrasound. Oh, how we look forward to these days! I had a snow day (1 of 3 the last couple of weeks), so we were able to take our time and have lunch before we went. The ultrasound went really well. She said that everything she checked looked really good and that they are growing right on schedule. It was exciting to hear that they had both doubled their weight. Last ultrasound they were both around 8 oz. This time, Baby A was 1 lb. 2oz. and Baby B was 1 lb. I was so proud of our little ones for growing. We found out that the babies are not identical and that they each have their own placentas. They are also in their own sacs. Because they don't share sacks or placentas, there is no chance of their umbilical cords getting tangled and little chance of Twin to Twin Transfusion (when one twin is getting more nutrients than the other). All good news!
Baby B was the star of the show this time. He (or she) was moving and turning so much that we could hardly get a good look at Baby A. The first picture is Baby B putting his foot up near his head. What a flexible little thing! The second picture is actually of Baby B sitting on Baby A's head. What a little rascal! I was encouraging Baby A to push back a little bit but he (or she) was content to just lay underneath his sibling. :) We were extremely entertained by our children. We could have just sat and watched for hours. Unfortunately, our doctor has other patients he has to see. :)
I have decided I don't like calling my babies "Baby A" and "Baby B". It seems so impersonal and cold. We haven't thought of what to call them, since we don't know if they are boys or girls but we will soon think of something.
Thank you all for the many prayers. God continues to bless us every single day. Our next ultrasound is March 1st. After that, we will probably start having them every two weeks.
