16 Week Anatomy Scan

Yesterday at 16w4d, we had our initial anatomy scan with MFM.  They will do another one at 20 weeks, which will give a lot more detailed information about the organs and such.

So far so good!  We got to see little fingers and toes, their hearts, kidneys, spines, bladders, femur bones...  So much and so amazing!  Both are measuring right on target, with Baby B being just a few days ahead.  Speaking of a HEAD, apparently Baby B has a nice round head that measured at about 18 weeks!  Say WHAT?  Apparently that is not a big deal.  It just measures big because it's so round.  I decided not to worry about it because the Dr. was very adamant that there are no concerns at this time and everything is going well!

They also measured my cervix, which is nice and long.  That has been a concern of mine, since I've read about cervical issues during pregnancy and with multiples can sometimes even be more of a concern.  At this time, we have nothing to worry about there either! 

So things are going great!  I see them again in 3 weeks. 

In the meantime, I have an appointment next week with my OB.  I'm excited about that because I'll get to hear the heartbeats again.  If I can just keep having all these appointments to keep reassuring me that things are going smoothly, I will be a happy camper.

They gave me a CD that was supposed to have pictures on it from the u/s, but when I got home and plugged it into the computer the disk was blank.  Otherwise, I would have shared a few pics for you, but I got nothing.

Actually, they did print out a pic of each baby for me, but I have no idea how to use my scanner to get it into the computer.

I decided not to get upset about the mistake, because I did get at least those two photos, and because it was such a great appointment with great news!  I don't want anything to over shadow that, so I decided to just be happy :)
