To refresh your memory, here are some important statistics:
--Average gestation for twins is 35 1/2 weeks
--Term for twins is 37 weeks
--My doctor will deliver no later than 38 weeks 1 day (April 27th)
I am 30 weeks today, so we think we have 5 to 8 weeks to go MAX! We're assuming I will go to 35 weeks since everything has been so far, so good. Here's what's going on this week with the little ladies: They are about 15.7 inches long now, and weigh almost 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds them, but that volume will decrease as they get bigger and take up more room in the uterus. Their eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after they are born, they keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When they do open them, they'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means they can only make out objects a few inches from her face.
