All is well with the twins, we got to have a really good look at them both as the sonographer did all the measurements and checked them out.
Both babies have normal brains/skulls, normal abdomen, stomach was visible and both hands and feet were visible too! (and they were kicking and waving!)
Twin 1 is lower down than twin 2 - and measures in at 58.7mm today (2.31 inches)
Twin 2 is on top and measures 52.8mm (2.07 inches).
The nuchal scan results were also very good showing that they are low risk for downs syndrome.
For a woman of my age the risk is 1 in 255 - but we had 1 in 1277 for both babies! which means they are OK!
The sonographer also told us that my uterus is measuring about the size of a 20 week singleton and the top of my fundus (top of the uterus) is just under my belly button - it's no wonder I'm already looking rather large and sticking out at the front.
We didn't get any video as they don't allow that, but she gave us a few pictures which you can see below:

Really pleased to read everything is OK and they are all fine.
Elly,
Last time I spoke to you, you were about to leave Shady Grove on the flight back to England.
Can't tell you how delighted I am that TWO RUSSELLS are happily making their certain way towards their new lives with Mum and Dad- Elly and Chris.
I can't always check in to see how things are going, Elly.
But I think of you often. All love from me and my family over here in Canada. Maybe we will all meet one day.
Jane
