The BIG ultrasound

Ok, so since we already know the gender, the ultrasound was as exciting, but it is still good to see everything and know all the organs are working as they should.  Plus, we got to verify that he really is a boy. :)

All went well and he is measuring about 3 days ahead and weighs about 8 oz.  He is right on track to be a little over average size if he is born on time. 

My cervix was looking good.  Dr. Gaffaney didn't give a measurement number, but she was very happy with the number.  I asked if they were going to check it again and she said since my cervix failed at 20 weeks before that they would check it again in 2 weeks.  That was a huge relief to me because as we get closer and closer to the timeframe when I lost the twins, I get more and more nervous.  Knowing that I will have another check on the cervix makes me feel better. She also wants to do a fetal echo just to check on his heart to make sure all is well.  That is getting to be normal with IVF, so I'm not really worried.  Okay, so maybe I am just a little.
