FAT Babies

The ultrasound went really well and we're sooo excited.

First, the non-stress test was a huge success. They needed to record 3 movements in 19 minutes and I passed the test in 3 minutes! They monitored for contractions and while I had some, it was completely normal and not a sign of pre-term labor.

Second, they did an ultrasound. The girls are still BOTH head down!!! Yeah! I was convinced Right Baby turned around, but the doc said they are wedged in and won't flip. So, I'm going to labor the old fashioned way if everything else stays on track. So, here's the kicker, at 35 weeks 5 days, Right Baby (small baby) is now 5lbs 15oz (that's 1oz shy of 6lbs). We asked the doctor to remeasure because we thought there's NO WAY! But, she measured the same! Left Baby is 5lbs 8 oz! Sure, there's a margin of error here, but that is INCREDIBLE news! We got a bit of a face shot, but Baby B (right) was blocking her face. We did see Left Baby practice breathing, it was very cool.

We go to the OBGYN for cervical measurements on Wednesday (am I dialated or effaced?) and then back to the perinatologist on Friday for another non-stress test and ultrasound. That will be 36 weeks 3 days and 36 weeks 5 days. It's looking like we'll get to full term or beyond! Gosh, I hope so!

Go babies! Go Babies! I'm doing a dance for them! The document above is a graphic of their weight over the last 3 ultrasounds. Click it for a better view.
