As time crawled slowly on, my waist expanded exponentially! By 7 weeks I was unbuttoning pants, by 10 weeks I had started wearing maternity pants whenever I thought no one would notice. We decided that after we got the result from our early screen ultrasound at 12 weeks, we would start sharing the news. Imagining how we would tell people was a great way to pass the time instead of worrying!
Because multiples are automatically considered high risk, our ultrasound was scheduled at the Maternal Fetal Medicine unit. They have better equipment so that's exciting, they are also notoriously behind schedule, so that sucks. D and I had plenty of time to read the sign explaining that because of all the different types of procedures people would not necessarily be taken in the order they arrived. And boy did they mean it. We watched the waiting room fill up and empty twice before our name was called. Turns out there was some confusion with 'the orders' and they didn't know why we were there. But after an hour or so we got in. We had a great ultrasound tech, who kept saying things like 'there's the nasal bone, that's a good sign!' I didn't know what any of it was but I loved her for saying it. Here are a few shots of our little cuties:
Baby A was on the bottom and the tech seemed to think she would stay that way. She very definitively said, 'baby A will deliver first.' See those beautiful legs, she was using them to push off so she could headbutt baby B.
What you don't see in this picture is the close up we got of a not so shy little boy spread eagle. At 12 weeks 6 days it was way early to be predicting gender, but even the tech said she would be shocked if Baby B wasn't a boy.
My first picture of the two little ones fighting. I'll have to practice my no headbutting rules! A week later we got the news that the screenings were normal and we started sharing the news.
