Twins Update #1

Kayla and I had a serious fit of déjà vu when we walked into the Atlanta Perinatal Office today.  We had been there so much with Adalyn due to her CF, we felt they would surely give us a reserved parking spot or at least loyalty points we could use toward a free cup of coffee.  We weren’t there this time for CF though, we were there because we’re having twins.  Twins automatically puts you on the high-risk list, CF or not.  Luckily, the visit was all good news.  The twins are doing fantastic.  Actually, growing ahead of schedule.  Kayla is currently 13 weeks along and the measurements the nurse took put the babies at around 14 weeks.  We were thrilled.  The two little stinkers wriggled around, sucked their thumbs, and even waved hi a couple of times.  It’s a little early to tell the sex of the babies but during the ultrasound the nurse observed the kiddos at every angle and gave us her opinion.  🙂  But, we’re not going to be announcing it here until after we have the amnio so we’re 100% sure.  Speaking of amnio, we also had to schedule  that as well.  We feel it’s the responsible thing to do.  Each baby has a 25% chance of inheriting Cystic Fibrosis.  We’re going to focus on the 75% chance that they don’t.  We’ll say many prayers and keep our fingers crossed but we want to be as prepared as possible.  Today was a great visit and we look forward to many more to come.  We just love seeing the little squirts healthy and active.
