Big baby boys :)

I went for another growth ultrasound today and the babies have gained more than a pound over the last three weeks. They were both estimated to weigh 4 lbs, 13 oz each!! That is equivalent to the 56th percentile. It's so great that they are both the same size. The dr. said they need to be within 20% of each other in weight, but they are so competitive that they are staying neck-in-neck the whole way. Maybe that competitiveness will translate to their athletic careers when they grow up :) Everything else looked good, except their amniotic fluid levels were a little low. The techician didn't seem concerned and the dr said he would call to follow up if there was anything to be worried about.


I saw the dr yesterday and everything seems to be going well. My blood pressure was still good and they are both still head down. My belly measured 42 cm! He won't let me go past 38 weeks (37 weeks is full term for twins), so unless they decide to come earlier, D-Day will be around May 12th. Only a few more weeks!

We got a couple of pics at today's ultrasound. Baby A's head is really low, so his picture is hard to make out. It didn't help that he had both arms up in front of his face! But, you can see a little of his nose and lips at the top left side of the screen if you use a little imagination :)

The one of Baby B is better, you can see his face really well and his arm is up in front of his eye. He looks sleepy, but he was actually moving all around before and during the ultrasound!We can't wait to meet these sweet little boys!
