We had our NT scan today!

Still 2 babies :) growing right on track. This time baby B was the more photogenic one, so we ended up with a bunch of pics of B, and only 2 of A. B was dancing and bopping it's head :) A waved but quickly rolled over every time we tried to get a good shot!

They also drew my blood to send to Verifi. So we should have those results in a week or two.

Meanwhile, we have decided to go public! Our families and my work know, but H wants to start shouting from roof tops. I want to just tell people as we see them, but H wants to do the whole announcing on FB thing. We'll see. :)

  • Yay for good results! And that's impressive that they already knew one was a boy! What tells them that?

    Do you go for a second blood draw? My first results were normal, so they had to wait for my second blood draw to determine risk ratios.

  • The typical screenings are useless with twins. My OB said they just don't have enough data to properly interpret the results.
    Because of that, and I'm am old fart, we did Verifi, which is another brand like MaterniT21, or Harmony.

    It looks at the babies DNA, so there are no risk ratios- we know actual results. Except that with Twins, if anything came back abnormal, we wouldn't know which twin it was.

    Same goes for the sex. There were Y chromosomes in the DNA, so they know at least one of them is a boy. They could both be boys, or the other could be a girl. We won't know until the a/s. Does that make sense?

  • @bobcee not yet :) we are holding off until we know what the other one is. :)

    Both H and his father have the same initials, and if we have a boy and a girl, I would like to continue that with the boy. If it's two boys, I feel like we would have to do it with both of them, or not at all. And I don't know if I'm willing to do both!

  • Ah! That makes perfect sense. I would have loved to just get one blood test and be done, but I just went with my office's standard screening since it was fully covered. That's so cool to find out that kind of information without any uncertainty!

    Can't wait to find out both genders!
