Nuchal Translucency Test!
1/29/14: On the same day we had your 12 week appointment, we also did some genetic testing. Mommy and Daddy met with a genetic for a long time to talk about our health history and our family's health history. It was kind of overwhelming! Finally, we got to see you again! This time you were on a much nicer screen and way easier to see. We could see a profile of your bodies and it was so neat! Daddy kept pointing at the screen and saying WOW, this is so cool. The fluid behind both of your necks was within normal range and Mommy was so happy to hear that! Baby A was even awake and moving now which made Mommy really happy again. A couple days after this appointment we got the results and we were very pleased. We are not worried about any chromosomal disorders for either of you!
Week 12 Appointment!
1/29/14: Mommy and Daddy were so excited to have your 12 week appointment. We knew we would have a chance to hear your little heartbeats again. Grandma Judy was coming down to hear them, too. Mommy had her appointment and the doctor answered her questions and when it was time to hear the heartbeats, Grandma wasn't there yet! Daddy was on the phone with Grandma trying to get her to the clinic and the doctor was busy finding your heartbeats. Unlike the week 10 appointment, she found your heartbeats right away! Mommy was so busy working hard to try and hear them that she doesn't remember what the count was. Daddy didn't hear them. Mommy was bummed that Grandma missed it and the doctor knew this. She said if Grandma got there soon, she would show Grandma. Grandma got to the appointment 5 minutes later. We went back to the room and the doctor had a surprise for us! Because Grandma had drove all the way from Saint Cloud, the doctor said she would do us one better and show Grandma the babies on the ultrasound. The machine was very old and it was kind of hard to see you. But it was still very exciting. Baby B was moving all over the place. Baby A was sleeping. The doctor said normally they like to see you guys moving faster, but that A was probably just taking a nap. She wasn't concerned. Grandma asked if she could tell what you guys were! It was way too early for that. The doctor said even if you were out of the tummy, we still probably wouldn't know what you were!
