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.
