12+6 3rd Scan day!

We had our follow up scan today. The babies had grown so much and were even clearer on the screen this time; it was fantastic! They were moving around more, flipping and turning and wriggling! It took a while but she got the measurements this time and everything is looking great. They gave us lots of photos...I said these are already the most photographed babies ever! Spot the alien looking one with the baby facing the camera haha! Some of them are so clear you can even kind of see what their faces are going to look like I think!

After the scan, I went in to have my blood taken and the nurse was rather dippy. Firstly, I am having to get used to this problem but it clearly says on my notes that my name is KATIE CATER. She called me in as KATE CARTER. It's not hard to read a name is it so how can you get both names wrong!? I'm too polite to correct people so I just went on in. She started talking to me about twins running in her family and then as she very painfully stabbed me with the needle (think her technique needs work) she proceeded to tell me about a cousin or something who had twins but one of them died at birth. Great thing to tell someone who is pregnant with twins! I thought again, 'she's a dippy one'. Then she went on to tell me about her daughter who had vanishing twin syndrome (where twins are picked up on an early scan but one of them dies and isn't there at the next scan). Again, brilliant thing to talk about. I already knew about that and am past the worry of VTS but still, someone else might take this information and worry about it! She continued to tell me they were happy about this as the pregnancy was unplanned etc. Anyway, apart from all her witterings and painful blood taking, it was another lovely visit to Bath RUH and we even had the same sonographer so that was nice too. Our babies are such cuties! Can't wait till they're here! New due date is 23rd December 2013.
