Appointments at 18 weeks!

Today was a busy day for me and the babies. We had a doctor's appointment with a specialist to get a detailed ultrasound to check on the babies and their anatomy. Rob came with me to the appointment which was great because there was a lot to see during this ultrasound. Our tech was really nice - as was the doctor we talked with afterward. She took measurements of baby A first, and took lots of pictures of various parts of the anatomy. Baby A did great -- that's my girl! :) Then she took measurements and pictures of Baby B. Baby B is always difficult (except at our last ultrasound) so the tech was able to get most of the measurements/pictures she needed, but not all of them. Baby B was under my belly button, so when the tech put the ultrasound wand thing over my belly button, there was a shadow which made it hard to see. But, we did get another confirmation that we are having a girl and a boy. It was amazing to see how much more obvious certain things were to show girl and boy! :)

Later on, I had another appointment scheduled with my regular doctor for a quick check up. The heartbeats were where they should be. We also briefly talked about plans for delivery which was good because Rob and I just started talking about that today. Of course, nothing has been set in stone because it's early - but she talked about how even if when the time comes and the babies are both head down, that could always change once delivery starts. But, I am with my doctor, and want to wait until we are closer to the due date to make any decisions.

Here are some pictures from the ultrasound today! :)

Gender Announcement!!

So, Rob and I (along with his very happy parents!) went in for our gender ultrasound today!! Our appointment was scheduled for 11 - and they called us back late. Those minutes took FOREVER! They finally called us all back and we got ready to find out the news.

And... we found out that Baby B is a BOY! And after a little moving around.. we found out that Baby A is a GIRL!! I speak for Rob when I say we are THRILLED! I don't think I could be more excited, but in all honesty, I am mainly thrilled that they look healthy and are both on track growth wise. Rob did take a video of the whole thing which we will hopefully be put online later tonight.

Here's how I told my team after school today! :)
