We caught some glimpses of Baby Girl sucking a thumb (or some other finger) and got some good profile shots of her. Way too cute.
We didn't get too many good pictures of Baby Boy. He was wiggly as always, but the main reason we couldn't get a profile shot of him was he had his back turned to the ultrasound wand and he was facing his sister! (Awww, right?)
Both babies are positioned next to each other, heads facing each other:
So thankfully all is well. I do want to share about my somewhat interesting ultrasound session. About 1/3rd of the way into the scans, I started feeling really hot and sweaty, and all of a sudden my eyesight blurred and I couldn't see the screen in front of me any longer. Then when I heard ringing in my ears, I figured that I was about to black out. The ultrasound technician was great, she quickly jumped up to grab a wet towel and raised the chair up so that I could sit up. With DH holding a wet towel to my forehead, they laid me on my sides and did a couple of scans that way, but after every few minutes, I was still feeling very light-headed. They finally called a nurse in to check my blood pressure but it was normal. So they thought it was because I had been laying flat on my back and the weight of the uterus was pushing against a major vein, blocking the blood flow to my heart and back to the brain. My OB came in and said this typically happens to about 20% of pregnant women; some even experience it sooner in their pregnancies. It was kinda scary but I learned my lesson... no more lying on my back!
My next OB visit is in 2 weeks for my glucose testing, and then a 28 week scan in 4 weeks. Can't believe how fast time is flying by!
