Week 20 Repeat Anatomy Scan

Last Wednesday we went for our repeat anatomy scan. The reason it was repeated wasn't due to any abnormality, but rather due to the early anatomy scan done at week 17. The fetal monitoring center initially did first anatomy can a week to two weeks early in the event there was something visibily wrong with the babies, then it would give us more time to selectively reduce if we chose.



The repeat scan looked great, all the babies were active and with good heart beats. Unfortunately, for a proud dad like myself, I don't get any of those nice U/S pictures that singleton fathers do because of the crowded house in that uterus of Kyra's. Never the less, we do get some neat, seemingly random shots of head, hands, feet, etc. The one below is of baby "A" scrunched up with his head on the left and legs on the right, the arrow pointing to his boy parts (the U/S tech did that, not me).



Kyra looks great, she really appears pregnant in the last couple weeks, and has had some trouble sleeping due to hip pain. We went and bought a "Snoogle" and that seemed to really help. She eats very small meals and drinks plenty of water which seems to help her not get nauseous at all.

We're coming up on Week 22 this Thursday, and Kyra's cerival length continues to measure more then what they would be happy with. With every passing week and no cervical changes I feel better about healthy triplets. It's still hard for me to be convinced healthy triplets arrive in this world every day when I see a 23 week singleton that received CPR for several minutes, Epi, and was intubated like I did last week. Kyra's doing an awesome job looking after herself, so I hope better for mine.
