20-Week Ultrasound

Last night we got back from the baby-ninja’s clinic and watched our latest ultrasound video.  Alex was laying across Dominic’s chest, and the two were wriggling around and having a good time.  These two are getting to know each other, and you can see them interacting now as they push back and forth trying to get comfortable.

We watched a National Geographic video this week on multiple births which indicated that once a multiple becomes aware of the other child(ren) in the womb, they play games together, and they may still play these games as toddlers.  That is so cute you may need to take a break to rub a dog’s belly.

The two boys are highly concordant, which means they are very close to the same size, and their growth is still ahead of schedule:

• Alexander
  • 432 grams
  • 0.952 pounds
  • 21 weeks and 5 days of growth
• Dominic
  • 430 grams
  • 0.948 pounds
  • 21 weeks and 4 days of growth

Concordance = 99.54%

Note: You calculate concordance by dividing the smaller weight by the larger one to find a percentage.

430/432 = 0.9954 = 99.54%

We are very happy that Dominic and Alexander are growing together at the same rate, and all indications are that we have two healthy and happy kids in there.
