    YEAH!!! YEAH!! YEAH!!

    What a GREAT ultrasound! All looks good with both babies and guess what - Baby B took a MAJOR FLIP!!! Head is now on my right side and body is curled up under my rib cage with legs on the left!! Baby A is head down as usual and is taking up the left side of my body

    So they call Baby A - Vertex (Head Down) and call Baby B - Transverse as she is laying "across" my body LOL!

    Baby A is still smaller - she has been all along - the first two times there was only a 3 ounce difference in the babies - in December - there was a 5 ounce difference

    Today Baby A is estimated at weighing 3 pounds 12 ounces and Baby B is estimated at weighing 4 pounds 6 ounces!!!!! OMG!!!

    So that's a 10 ounce difference in the babies - not sure when they start to worry - but we have an appt on Friday w/ Doc

    Also their heart beats were much lower than they normally are - typically they are in the 140's sometimes 150's - well today Baby A's heart was 112 and Baby B's was 124

    So other than the "BIG FLIP" everything looks GREAT with the girls and I'm very happy with their weights!

    Congrats on a great U/S!! It's always such a relief to see them wiggling around in there. It won't be much longer now!

    My Baby B used to flip all over also, one time we got to watch her go from breech to transverse while doing the u/s.

    Sounds like things are going well, keep up the good work!
