We went to the ultrasound technician on Thursday for our growth scans. The babies are measuring 2 lbs, 10 oz (A) and 2 lbs, 11 oz (B), both of which are in the 51-53% percentile. Everything looks excellent, including their amniotic fluid levels. She also thinks that Baby B has lots of hair! Unfortunatley, the babies weren't very cooperative for pictures. I guess I should have had some caffeine beforehand! They wouldn't turn correctly for her to get their faces in 4-D. All we left with one pic of both of their heads and some hard to make out 2-D face pics. We did get a DVD of the ultrasound to keep, though.
The results of my blood work came back and showed that I am slightly anemic. I started taking an over-the-counter iron supplement this week, per the doctor's orders. I was thrilled that my blood sugar was okay!
We enjoyed our childbirth class on Wednesday night. There were four other couples in class with us and our instructor is one of the night shift labor & delivery nurses at the hospital. We were able to tour the labor and delivery wing, including one of their biggest patient rooms (which the nurse said that we will likely get since we are having twins). The rooms are very large and private, including a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The labor, delivery, and recovery process will all take place in your room unless you have a C-Section. We started watching a few videos, but didn't make it to anything too graphic yet...which means that Jim isn't yet scared about coming back next week!
Don't deny your craving for cheeseburgers....meat = iron :) Glad all is going well!
