Ultrasound 10/24/06







Well, we weren't as thrilled with this ultrasound experience as we were on the last ones. The tech did not seem to know exactly what he was doing, saying it had been a while since he had done an multiples ultrasound. But toward the end, he seemed to get the hang of it and took the time to explain some of the features we were seeing.

The girls definitely look the cutest they have ever been. They're already over 2.5 lbs, and there is a chance that Maranda is further along than we thought. We will check with the doctor next week since we have doubts about this tech. He estimated that she was around a week and half further along than was originally estimated. That moves the due date back to January 15 or so. So we'll see...

In the first picture, you can see a slight profile, but you can see she has her arms reaching up with clenched fists.

In the second picture, you can see the right side of one's face. She has her lips puckered up. Maybe she's giving kisses... or maybe she's just hungry. It was definitely past supper time.

They were extremely active in this ultrasound. They way they are situated right now, is one is head down and the other is a little higher and to the right of her. Dr. McCullough is very optimistic that if one is lined up to be delivered vaginally, that the second baby could flip to the correct position after the first one is born.

We're just praying right now that Maranda will deliver both the same way--either both vaginally or both by Cesarian. ~A
