We had an ultrasound today and it was super fascinating (as always). Both babies look great and are measuring perfectly! The u/s guy let us push on my belly where a baby was and you could see it move in response to the pressure! Isn't that crazy?! One is very low ("A") and it's head is at the top of my cervix. It was in an akward position so it was hard to get pictures of that we could understand. "B" is a bit higher up and right under my belly button. It was very photogenic today. Baby B's butt is in A's face!! :-) It was funny! The guy gave Elliot a picture of each baby and she was so excited. She wants to hang them on the wall in her room. She kept saying "this one's the girl, and this one's the boy." (Which we really don't know...she just says this all the time!) You could also see the blood flowing from the umbilical cord to the baby and apparently everything looked as it should! For what it's worth they said 1 baby was 6oz. and the other was 5oz. I totally do not trust u/s for determining weight, but my only experience is much later in pregnancy.
I scanned some of the pic's in and will describe them below. I hope you can see them as clearly as we were able to.
BABY A's WHOLE BODY! (feet on the left, then long legs, spine bends around, and it's head is on the bottom. You can see one little hand next to it's face too)
BABY B (It was looking at us in this shot...kinda alien looking, huh? It's chest/body is the white oval toward the bottom and it's arm and and are there too)
BABY B PROFILE (head is on the left, body in middle, and you can see it's knees bent up on the right.
BABY B's FOOT (Now isn't that precious? Do you see all it's little toes pointing down?)
