"20 Week Appointment"

On Monday we had our "20 week" appointment (we were really at 21 weeks already). The appointment was longer than normal with a lot of scanning and measuring of the babies. We were in the ultrasound for close to an hour and a half, but we didn't even notice how long we'd been there because we had so much fun just watching our little ones on the screen.

Baby A is in the 95th percentile for size. Her head measurement is about a week ahead and is nice and round. She is definitely bigger than Baby B, but slightly crowded and down on my lower left side. Her cumulative size is measuring about 3 days ahead of where we are in our pregnancy which is great! The ultrasound tech was laughing and said: "No small babies for the Porterfield's!"

Baby "A"- Girl

Weight: 1LB

Baby B is in in the 55th percentile for size. Although he is in a much lower percentile, he is still also measuring about 3 days ahead of where we are in our pregnancy! He might be the smaller of the two, but he doesn't seem to think so since he is taking up most of the room in my upper right side. He must get this from his daddy.  

Baby "B"- Boy

Weight: 14 ounces (2 ounces shy of 1LB)

This appointment was really amazing because we go to see features we hadn't seen in prior appointments, like their little feet! The tech measure both of their feet and said they are each about 1inch. While the tech was measuring Baby A's feet, we actually caught her kicking her brother in the head! I guess she wants some more room Baby B!!! SCOOT OVER!

If you look closely you can see this is Baby A's feet. In the left photo on the left side, you can see Baby B's head (and eye sockets) and then her foot right behind! I'm so glad we also got this on video. :)

Mommy is also doing great! Blood pressure, weight, and overall health is right on target! The doctor measured my 'baby bump' and said I was definitely going to be turning some heads towards the end of the pregnancy since most of it is in my tummy. 

Let's continue these awesome check-ups all the way to week 40!!!
