As we've mentioned before our perinatologist has excellent quotes for us. This time she said "You've hit a home run carrying twins. A lot of people would pay big money to have such a great pregnancy. You are very lucky." She almost made me cry when she said that! While I knew we've been lucky, to hear a specialist say that was really the icing on the cake!
The doctor's visit was a breeze. Yet another non-stress test; Right Baby took a little longer to pass her test than last time, but it still only took the minimum required time. Both girls were up for 5 hours with me in the middle of the night, so I think she was just sleepy. No concerns though. I had just one practice contraction, so we're in the clear!
The ultrasound was quick...all they really did was check for fluid levels. Apparently, I have tons and the girls are content floating around in their pee for a few more days. We didn't get great pictures--she took one of Right Baby's ear, it looked big! My family has big ears (thankfully I didn't inherit that fine trait). However, it's so hard to tell anything at this point because they are so big.
They didn't measure their weight. Apparently they do that only every 21 days. I guess since weight fluctuates daily and there is a margin of error, experts don't advise it. So, we'll have to take a poll on their length and weight. Any guesses? David suggested 6lbs6oz and 6lbs2oz with Right Baby being the bigger baby. I think we'll be more about 5lbs11oz for Right Baby (she was always the smallest) and 6lbs4oz for left baby. Just my guesses right now at 5am!
It was a beautiful day, so to celebrate our final days of a two person family, we went for Mexican. David had a gigantic margarita and then passed out as soon as we got home! Boy, I think we're ready for this parenting stuff. Especially given that I'm already awake (slept 4 hours Thursday night and 6 last night)!
