Most Heart-melting Moment

This Monday’s bi-weekly scan of the twiglets by the MFM (high risk OB) yielded some good news! Baby A (little baby) has caught up a bit to big baby B! They are both currently over 3 lbs.. which I think …

Maybe a BIG day…

Today we have our NT scan, that first trimester scan where they measure the nuchal fold and tell you what your baby’s risk for downs is etc. But things have really changed in newborn screening since I was pregnant with …

We have a heartbeat.. and a bonus surprise!
