Healthy Growing Babies......

Today was my 16 week ultrasound. The babies are growing very well and right on schedule where there should be. They are moving around like crazy too. As soon as the ultrasound starts they start squirming around all over. Heartbeats were 137 and 150 and they are measuring about 4 inches each. We were hoping to find out genders today.......but unfortunately they could not tell quite yet. So we will continue to wait but we are super thankful that the babies are healthy and growing and that I have not had any issues or concerns either.

For those who are wondering, there are 2 sacs and 1 placenta, which means IDENTICAL and mono-di twins! (the doctor still says 95% chance they are identical because there could be a small possibility that 2 placentas fused). According to what I have read mono-di twins are the most common type of identacal twins.  There is greater risk when the babies share 1 sac. My doctor did tell me as well that they will monitor me more closely for the Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome. This is were one baby draws more nutrients from the placenta then the other one. It is rare but when it happens it is very serious.

So I will go back again in 2 weeks to see these little peanuts  again. Thanks for all the prayers and support.  We are looking forward to lots of family time this weekend and hope everyone has blessed Thanksgiving!
