Growing Boys

We went to the dr this morning and were so pleased that everything looks great! We got a quick ultrasound, which showed that both boys are now head down and will hopefully stay in that position for the rest of the pregnancy. They are so cute and cozy with their little heads side by side! Their heart rates were strong at 137 for Baby A and 145 for Baby B. Dr. Roberts did a quick growth estimate for Baby B, which showed that he was about 2 lbs, 14 oz! He estimates Baby A is about the same size. The head and belly circumference were on track with the term of the pregnancy (about 27 weeks, 4 days) but the femur (upper leg) length measured 30 weeks, 2 days. No surprise that these babies will have long legs :)

They did some blood work today to test for gestational diabetes and iron levels. I will get a call if they are off. Please pray that everything looks okay!

This will be a big week--we get to go back to the ultrasound technician on Thursday for more detailed growth scans. We will do these about every 3 weeks to make sure they are growing at the same rate. This also means that we will hopefully get more ultrasound pics (maybe some more 4-D) to share. We haven't gotten any pics from our last two visits. We have also signed up for a Childbirth class that starts on Wednesday evening. We will go to the class for 2 hours each Wednesday in the month of March (4 weeks total). I am sure this will be an interesting and informative experience!
