18-Week Check-up





Chris and I went to the doctor yesterday for our 18-week check-up. The nurse and the doctor spent a lot of time on the ultrasound, taking measurements and making sure everything looked good with the babies. They were very active and had good strong heartbeats. They are both about 9 oz and 9 1/2" long, which is good. Baby A is 18 weeks and 6 days along, and Baby B is 18 weeks and 4 days along. The doctor said it's fine for them to vary. They each live in their own amniotic sac and have their own placenta, which is also good. He checked several areas and was fairly certain that there is no sign of Down's syndrome, cleft palate, or spina bifida. We are very grateful that they seem to be developing normally and are in good health!

Love, j&c
