2 Moms 2 B: More pics!!

Another OB appointment come and gone!

We are 25w4d today and doing very well! We had an OB appointment and ultrasound today. The ultrasound was primarily to check for cervical length. This is done because the cervix is essentially the "plug" that keeps the babies inside and baking. A "good" cervical length is anything > 3cm. We will check it quite frequently as time goes on as this is an early indicator of preterm labor. Today cervical length was 3.8cm so yay!!

We talked a little more about what the plan of delivery was. We feel so bad because we really REALLY like our OB and he specializes in twin deliveries, specifically he specializes in twin VAGINAL deliveries, which we are really interested. So it sucks that we know we pretty much wont be delivering with him, but it is nice to know if something goes wrong that we would know the babies are in good hands. He even said that whoever delivers us should call him! So sweet!

Our first plan of hospitals in New York does not seem like it is going to pan out (I know go figure). The hospital is a teaching hospital and all the attending physicians have clinic in the resident clinic. Apparently BCBS wont pay for a resident clinic, so we cannot go to the hospital we planned on as I think it is irresponsible to merely show up at a hospital in labor where no one is familiar with us.

We are looking at hospitals now. I want to go to a hospital that is well known for its management of multiple births and preterm infants, my family wants me closer to them at a mostly Unknown hospital. I have a lot of research to do.

Pictures!

Even though we only went for a cervical length check, the ultrasound tech did take time to look at our "too cute" kids! She even got a bunch of 3D pics for us!!

3D Pics (Because they are simultaneously adorable and creepy as hell!)

Baby A

her right hand is up by her forehead and her left arm is bent with her hand behind her neck

Baby A again

Baby B

she is chin to chest, you can see the depression in between her chest muscles

Ok, Baby B is literally cut in half in these pictures which is creepy as hell, but if you just focus on the top have she's soooo cute!

Baby B Disembodied head in her little sac...wow, creepy

Baby B one of my favorites, you can see her face chest and arm and part of her umbilical cord. She is facing the membrane between the two babies which is clearly seen in this picture. Just to the right of the membrane is Baby A her butt is at the bottom of the screen and then you can see her leg tucking around Baby B's head
