Our 1st Specialist Scan - 11 Weeks & 5 Days



We went for our 1st scan with Dr. Morris today! She specializes in high risk pregnancies which identical twins are among the riskiest. She has super high-tech equipment that was able to count every finger & toe. She could also measure spaces as small as the bone in the babies' nose! We loved seeing our babies this close up and received some very good news today! Anatomically our babies are perfect and there's no risk of Downs or other mental problems. She confirmed that we are in fact carrying Monochorionic Twins which means they are identical and sharing the same placenta. She could tell which gender they were today, but we decided to keep it a surprise for when we meet them! We both have a feeling they're girls, but we'll see! They will definitely be either 2 boys or 2 girls and not one of each! We are still getting over the shock of learning that we'll be having 2 babies and not 1, but are SUPER excited too! We feel so lucky to have been given this special gift! Today Baby A weighed 46 grams and Baby B 52 grams. Baby A is lying on my left hand side and Baby B on my right!
