Michael and I went to the appointment and right away in the ultrasound we were able to see the twins. I am 9 weeks and 6 days today, and they are now each about the size of a STRAWBERRY!!!
Their little hands were waving and their hearts were fluttering away. Baby A (the one on my left side -picture's right and closest to my cervix) is 26.7 mm in length with a Heartbeat of 175. Baby B (the one on my right side-picture's left) is 29.4 with a Heartbeat of 179. They are both in the same position, mocking each other, already being goofy like their dad! The tech said that this will probably be the last time we are able to get both of them in one shot, so next time (6 weeks away) we'll have some pictures of each of them!
We go back in 3 weeks and should be able to hear the heartbeats through a Doppler by that time. And then maybe we will be able to make a better guess as to if we are having a boy/girl, or boy/boy/ or girl/girl. They say that after 12 weeks you can look at the heartbeat count and if the heartbeat is 140 or above you are having a girl. If the heartbeat is below 140, then you are having a boy. Of course this is an old wives tales, one of many, so we won't rely too much on that!
