AmberR's Journal

Today I am 12w4d pg. Almost there to the end of the first trimester! My hubby tells me just to round up that we are already done with it and moving on to the 2nd. This morning I had my NT scan where they measure the back of the babies necks and look for their nasal bones. It is to determine the probablility of downs and trisomy 18. I seriously just signed up for it because I wanted another u/s. I told DH I was so nervous. Im always nervous before any u/s. He said he gave up being nervous after our last appointment. Aw to be so optimistic lol. The babies looked amazing. We learned that they are not morning people like their mom and refused to cooperate with the tech. She would try to get a good pic and they would roll over so all you saw was their spine :). It took 2hrs!!! She pushed so hard on my belly that I would cringe. She also reassigned my babies names which is kind of annoying. Baby A is now B and vice versa. I guess b/c now the "old" baby B is now A b/c he/she is now lower then the other (the first to come out for delivery). Whatever. Im still calling them the originals. SO Baby A was very obstinate like always. Really made it hard on the tech hehe. We got a really nice profile of Baby B who was just hanging out. It was fun seeing their profiles. She also showed us where their placentas were and that their umbilical cords had 3 vessels which is good. She counted fingers for us. And we saw that our babies have nasal bones! lol

When she was done she said we would have the results in a few days. I told her I wasnt worried and she said yeah you dont need to be. Guessing this is a good sign! Anyway I got home and I was spotting. So I freaked of course. Im so sore too from where she was pushing on me. I finally got through to my OB (I swear he must think Im a ninny b/c Im so freaked out about everything). He said that I should go to the hospital if the spotting is bright red and/or I have cramping. He said he wasnt too concerned since the spotting was mostly brown. Guess this means no hanky panky for DH. We have been too scared to anyway. Poor guy. 

So I guess we wont be seeing the twins until Nov 2nd when I have my next OB appointment. How will I manage???:) I was so hoping that the tech could guess on the sexes but she wouldnt. Oh well. I guess we will have to wait a few more weeks. Im dying to know and I cant wait to feel them move. She said to give it a couple more weeks. Its just crazy how much you fall in love. I think Baby B has my hubby's cute nose (we will just have to wait and see). I think the greatest thing is when Im lying on that table and I look over at DH and he is watching the babies with a big grin and completely engrossed watching the screen. I love that.
