1st trimester screening

So we went back to KC today for our 1st trimester screening. Everything looked OK although the little gummy bears in my belly were acting up! There are two parts to this test like I had mentioned before. One being the ultrasound. Well the explained how this is a very difficult measurement to get and with twins it is twice as hard! The babies have to be in just the right position for them to get this measurement. We worked and worked with them trying to get them to move the way we wanted. The ultrasound tech did get some measurements and took them to the Dr (DR LU...the one who delivered Kyler) He came in and explained to us that the measurements they got were well with in the guidelines for normal but they were just not comfortable that these measurements were as accurate as they would like. He said they are very confident that the measurements are not larger(a good thing) but they could be smaller. He didn't want them to play a factor in the equation in case it would cause it to be off and cause us more worry later on. So after all that messing around we did get to see our babies jumping around like always. I think one of them was dancing! The ultrasound tech also said they seem to be very dramatic as BOTH of them posed with their little hand on their forehead. So we got three pictures out of the deal to. One of each of them in their little pose with their hand on their forehead. Then one where you can see both of their heads. They did also confirm like the first ultrasound that they are in two sacks and have two placentas. She said that on is implanted on the front of my uterus and the other on the back. They both were very close to the same size and still right where they should be for my gestation. Baby A's heart rate was 167(same as last time) and baby B's was 160.

After the ultrasound we just had to do the blood work. This test will be based sole on the blood work now. They first told us we would get a phone call on Monday with the results. But I am going to have to call her tomorrow to clarify because i also think i remember her saying that if they ultrasound did not show the measurements we would do the blood work today and again in about a month(2nd trimester screening). Then for those who don't have ultrasound measurements we would not get any results till after our second blood work. So we will see.

We will just cross our fingers and hope and pray everything comes out just fine!

Hopefully pictures to come tomorrow.
