The babies got their 24-week ultrasound today. We get ultrasounded every time we go to my OB (we're up to weekly visits now!), but we also see the Perinatologist for longer ultrasounds to check out the babies. This month they measured their hearts - all chambers of both hearts. Baby "A" - we'll call her Anastasia today, wasn't really cooperating, so they didn't get all the measurements that they wanted to, but all signs are that her heart is just fine. Baby "B" - we'll call him Beauregard today, is on top and lying across my uterus. His heart looked A-ok as well.
Anastasia is tucked down on the bottom and as of today, she weighs 1 lb, 9 oz. Beauregard weighs just a little more, 1 lb, 11 oz. Guess that explains why my stomach keeps getting bigger almost daily!! We go back to the Perinatologist in 4 weeks for our next measurements. Hopefully Beauregard will shift a bit over the next few weeks so he's lying more head down, rather than across under my ribs. At this point, they still have room to move around, so it's too early to tell what their final positions will be.
