Double the Blessings: In your daddy's words...BEST appointment yet!!! PTL!!!!!

Today was AMAZING!!! We arrived at Duke this morning and were taken back to one of their awesome rooms and the ultrasound began. The girls have GROWN and moved quite a bit. Baby A is head down and now more on my left. She is measuring at 22 weeks 2 days and weighs 1 lb 1 ounce and everything about her looks great! Baby B is above my belly button spread all the way across my big belly...her head is on the left and feet on the right which makes perfect sense with the way I feel them kick and punch. Its kind of funny cause the way Baby A is her feet are right at Baby B's head so it looked like she was kicking her in the head almost...the sacks prevent her from truly kicking her but it really does look like she is. Baby B is measuring at 21 weeks 4 days (which is exactly what I am today) and weighs 15 ounces (a teeny bit shy of a pound). They said Baby A is typically bigger so this was great. And everything about Baby B looked great as well. Baby A's heart rate was 151 and Baby B's heart rate was 153. Super close and all wonderful! The Dr reviewed all the scans and then came in to speak with us and take a quick look himself. He said everything is looking awesome and seemed very pleased!!! We go back for a OB follow up next Wednesday and then start growth scans from there. We are just beyond thrilled and feeling extremely blessed!!! Thank you for all of your prayers and please keep them coming! God is so good and we are so blessed!!!!!!

We also got a bit of a surprise today...no the sex has not changed...they did check to make sure though ;) But the ultrasound tech switched the ultrasound to 4D!!! The first time she did it with BGA she was not cooperating so she went on and did all the measurements for BGB and surprisingly she was not cooperating for the 4D either so she went back to BGA...and as you will see below she gave us a lil show... she kept putting her lil hand on her forehead...soooo cute and too cool!!! It was the most incredible thing we have seen!!! She is gonna be my lil model...perfect for me and my love of pictures/photography!!! I think she has Carls nose for sure...in my opinion she is absolutely precious! It is so amazing what technology can do...thank you whoever came up with this! The tech tried to go back to BGB, but she was face down and NOT trying to be bothered by a photoshoot...She already seems to be the stubborn one every time we have an ultrasound...not to mention the most active lil one always doing acrobatics and squirming all around making it difficult for them to get a good look at what they need. I can't wait to see if her personality matches when she is here. In fact after the tech finished and was sending the stuff to the Dr BGB seemed to throw a lil temper tantrum in my belly kicking and punching and squirming all around...hey you are the one that didn't wanna cooperate for the ultrasound no need to take it out on me...oh well at least your daddy enjoyed feeling the tantrum! Anyhow, we were just thankful to be able to see at least one of them that way. Maybe next time we will get lucky and have an awesome tech that will try again because we were very blessed by her today cause we could not have afforded to do this on our own! So enjoy the pictures below...there are a couple normal ultrasound pictures of both of their faces and BGA profile...and then the 4D ultrasound pictures of BGA!!! (They didn't scan very well but you will get the idea)
