Early movement

SO I think I felt Baby A? move last night. The u/s tech told me A is more right/front and B is left back. So last night I was holding Maddy on my lap and she was putting pressure on my belly, and I felt a wave/ripple type movement and then the hardness where the pressure was shifted and got softer - like A moved away from Maddy sitting on her.

Yay - so crazy to be my 2nd pregnancy but 2nd and 3rd babies. I know you show earlier and feel the baby early with a 2nd pregnancy, and obviously are bigger and feel things earlier with twins, but to have both 2nd pregnancy and twins! LOL Yikes! I'm going to be HUGE in no time!

So I see my OB next Thursday for a check up, the NT scan is rescheduled for April 1st. So glad Bob gets to come for that one.

11 week NT ultra sound

I had my NT scan today. Both babies looked great, Baby A was 11wk1d, Baby B 11wk. Both were wiggling around, we saw hands and face structures, and "MAYBE" boy parts on Baby B. Definitely a nub, but girls can have that as well this early, but Baby A did not have the same nub.

I think I was still in shock and denial that there is 2 in there. I was almost surprised to see both babies today - looking like babies and moving and seeing fingers and toes. Like I was told 1 baby for so long, then they said 2 babies, it was hard to accept that there was still 2 in there- like one might not make it or whatever. WHEW - so cool today to see them and so we have decided we're telling as of today. A lot of people know I'm pregnant, but not with twins. Its time to drop that bomb!

The bad/good news today was that although week wise we're far enough along - the babies were to little to measure the NT length. They need to be 4.5cm, and they were 4.1 and 4.3cm. We get to come back in 2 weeks for another scan (at 13 weeks) and then back again at 18/19 weeks.

Bob obviously could not be there so my Mom went which was special for her. And now Bob can now come back with me in 2 weeks and see the twins with me.
