We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. I was so excited to see the babies again and hear their heartbeats. I heard their heartbeats at my last appointment about 4 weeks ago but have not seen them on an ultrasound since January – I couldn’t wait to see how much they had grown!
Everything checked out perfect. All organs & limbs looked good & healthy. The babies are now lying transverse in my belly – which means they are laying side-to-side, with their heads on opposite ends. The one closes to the bottom is referred to as Baby A. As of yesterday’s ultrasound – Baby A weighs 10 oz. and has a heart rate of 144, Baby B weighs 11 oz. and has a heart rate of 147.
Healthy babies were our #1 priority.
We had also decided to find out the genders of the babies, if the ultrasound tech was able to tell. They were some-what cooperative in that department. The ultrasound tech’s verdict..
…TWO BOYS!!
Both Cory & I were totally surprised! (It appears also according to our blog's poll, this will be a surprise to others to, as there were only 2 votes for boy/boy!) I think because of the old wives tales about heart rate ranges and because their heart rates were both higher but both different at my last doctor’s appointment we had both been thinking two girls or a boy & a girl. I guess we were both wrong – so much for parental intuition. Baby A gave the ultrasound tech a little bit of a hard time deciding if that was boy parts or the umbilical cord, because of the position he was laying in, but I think she was pretty convinced by the end of the gender check that it was a boy. We will have plenty of ultrasounds throughout the rest of the pregnancy, so I guess if she was wrong on something we should eventually find out.
So now I am looking forward to Friday – I took the day off of work and Cory & I are going to start some registering and just spend the day together (which I am really excited to do) – I guess I’ll be looking in the “blue” section while registering now!
