Everything is looking perfect so far. The tech was only able to do a Nuchal scan on Baby A and thank the Lord it looked normal. We got to see them on a big screen TV and it was soo cool to see how much they have grown and how defined they are looking. We got some cute pictures!
The tech thinks Baby A is a BOY and Baby B is a GIRL based on the position of the genitalia- for girls it is sticking out straight and boys it is upright. But it is tentative, I have told some family members but I will wait until the BIG Ultrasound to officially announce. It is very exciting!
Here is what is going on this week:
Your baby can make a fist and even suck his or her thumb this week—both skills that are über-cute during infancy ... and not so much at the age of 9. If you're really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of baby's thumb sucking on an ultrasound photo. That's a framer! Other exciting developments include:Your baby's eyelids are fused shut to protect his eyes as they develop. His bones and skull are solidifying and soon itsy-bitsy ribs may appear. (Baby ribs! How cute is that?!) Baby's intestines are finally right where you want them—in his or her belly instead of poking out into the umbilical cord. Baby's tooth sockets are all loaded and ready to pop out baby teeth six or seven months after baby is born (causing baby a lot of pain and you a lot of lost sleep).Who's that singing? Elton John? Could be your baby: His vocal cords and larynx are completed now. He won't be able to make any sound yet, however, because sound waves travel through air and baby is submerged in fluid. Your baby-to-be now weighs about 20 grams and is nearly 3 inches long, or about the size of a Nutter Butter, covered in chocolate. OK, it doesn't have to be covered in chocolate, but isn't everything better that way?
