Anatomy Ultrasounds - Finally!

Another grueling round of scans Monday morning. These detailed, 45 minute scans for each baby reveal physical abnormalities that could affect the spine, kidneys, brain, bowels, extremities, heart, etc. It was fun to watch the babies sucking thumbs, waving and kicking their arms and legs, ignoring the sonographer's pokes and prods, generally pretty much what you'd expect from misbehaving children.
These snaps were selected after the ultrasounds were taken so none are full body shots - sorry!

Did I mention that we asked the technician for the sexes? The results were pretty obvious from the scans. I apologize in advance for anyone wishing for girls. Yes, 3 boys!!!

Mt Sinai Appointment - Dr. Ryan

After two hours of ultrasounds and a long, looooong wait we managed to have an audience with Dr. Greg Ryan, director of fetal medicine at Mt Sinai. The ultrasounds (AKA us) detected a membrane between the identical twins, which made them a lower risk. Crown-rump measurements were taken as well as nuchal scans to determine the presence of Down syndrome. Our little tribbles (in homage to the new Star Trek movie next week!) measured A - 6.9, B - 6.9 and C - 7.4 cm. Dr. Ryan doesn't want to see us again because we're not a high enough risk - great news!!
We see the new doctor on May 12th for more ultrasounds (sorry, that's "us").
