Patrick and I had an ultrasound today with our "high risk" Dr. who will monitor the babies for the next 6 months. She did a screen for Down Syndrome by measuring the backs of their necks. Both babies measured in the "normal" range and we breathed a collective sigh of relief. She also said the membrane separating the two sacks is very thin so there is a VERY good chance the babies are identical! We will find out Sept. 15th if that means two more boys to the mix or two little girls! We can hardly wait.
I am feeling better...still tired, but I'm guessing it's just the start! She also said that both babies were good sized so that too made us happy. We saw both their heartbeats along with both of them kicking and moving their arms. After Sept. 15th I will have an ultrasound every month so the Dr's can monitor the growth. With the high chance that they are identical means one placenta and the chance of one baby stealing from the other. We hope they continue to grow together at the same pace.
We are both starting to adjust to what our household will sound like in the years to come. We are truely blessed.
