We had our 15 week ultrasound on Monday and received a lot of positive news. The babies are doing well, moving a lot and are right on target for growth. We could see baby B flexing fingers and arching it's back. Baby A was not in a picture taking mood, but was still active. The whole ultrasound was done by a wonderful doctor. She immediately put me at ease, complimented me on my progress and explained about the road ahead. What we didn't find out in this ultrasound was the sex. Neither baby was really cooperative about giving us a clear shot so for now we will wait and wonder. The doctor did say she could only see one placenta, which means there is a distinct possibility these little ones could be identical. However, she prefaced that by saying the placentas could be squished up against each other and therefore actually be two of them but it appears as one. Also on the sex front, there was the absence of a penis so therefore it could be a girl but she wouldn't say with any certainty because of the angle we were seeing. So it was an appointment with a lot of maybes. I'm still praying for healthy and hoping for blue. We did find out one thing for sure, these babies will (hopefully if no complications arise) be born sometime between August 12th and August 19th. So mark your calendars, in pencil just in case you need to erase, the window has been set.
