17 Weeks Appointment


April 6th, 2010
We went in for our regular scheduled appointment and everything looked great.  Babies are growing at a good rate and match up to each other very well.  It’s amazing how big they both are already!  It was hard to see the babies because they are so closely intertwined with each other.  They were going to label the babies and take their measurements.  But guess what?  They couldn’t find the separate amionic sacs.  After 30 minutes of looking – bring in other Doctors and techs for additional eyes – no one could find the line.  They think what they saw last time was the already twisted umbilical cord.  We are now going to a specialist (peri) for high risk pregnancies to get the exact specifics on these babies.  Are they or are they not in separate sacs?  In the meanwhile, with this new little addition, the Dr wants Sarah to make sure and take it easy.  No hard or strenuous work.  He actually told her to relax and lay on the couch.  We’ll be finding out a lot more in 2 weeks.  

Main Highlights and Stats
Heart Rate
Baby A: 159
Baby B: 161
Weight 
Baby A: 6 oz
Baby B: 7 oz
(so their combined wight is the same as the weight of a can of beer)

The Dr. said Sarah has the symptoms of a 30 week pregnant woman due to twins
(so that makes my life real fun!)
