12 Weeks

The babies are in their 12th week! Also the final week of the first trimester. They are growing and are healthy! We were able to "attend" the ultrasound via Skype. It was just Scott this morning as I had to work. I forgot to mention We both "attended" the week 10 exam since we were both off a couple weeks ago. The babies were tested for Down syndrome as we'll this morning. Results were negative but the Dr will do a blood test and the results will come in about 10 days. The twins are progressing along like the apps say. They are about the size of two little plums. Here are the numbers (and some pictures):

Embryo #1
Length: 54.4 mm (5.44 cm or 2.14 inches)
Fetal Heart Rate: 180 bpm
Nuchal translucency: 1.1 mm
Nasal bone: visible

Embryo #2
Length: 55.7 mm (5.57 cm or 2.19 inches)
Fetal Heart Rate: 178 bpm
Nuchal translucency: 1.1 mm
Nasal bone: visible

The next appointment won't be for another couple weeks. We already can't wait to see them again! We will post another update when we hear anything. In the meantime, thank you for reading and for your support. It means a lot to us!

    1. We look forward to the reports each week! We love to watch the progression. We look forward to the second trimester and seeing the twins (crazy I'm get to write that!) grow each time we get a report. Thanks for your support and thoughts and prayers throughout this entire experience!
