Pregnant after 35

Level 2 ultrasound today, we're having ...

A boy (which we knew) and another little girl.  My daughter wanted a baby sister, my hubby wanted a boy, and I wanted healthy babies.  We all got our wish!  The babies looked great, both measuring a week ahead.  YIKES!  My little boy is causing trouble already and would not move his arm from across his chest during the scan, so we have to go back in 4 weeks for a follow-up growth scan and to finish his fetal echo.  What they did see looked good though.  The perinatologist told me the number one complication for twins is preterm labor.  Really?  I work in the NICU, I'm pretty aware of that.  I told her I asked my OB for weekly cervical checks but she wouldn't do it.  So, I think she got that I understood and was worried about this as well.  All in all, it was amazing.  I love seeing my babies so in depth.  :)
