26-27 Week Appointment

I went in for my 26-27 week appointment today & everything looks perfect! The doctor said my weight, blood pressure & urine all checked out perfect even though I told him I didn't want to do any more weight checks from this point forward. I've gained 19-20 lbs so far. Not too bad, considering I only have 10 weeks to go but it still scares me to think what those 10 weeks have in store for me in the weight department. LOL! The babies heartbeats were still really strong and easy to find. One was about 140 bpm and the other 143-145 bpm.

The best part of the appointment was the ultrasound! It's been forever since I've had one so I was excited to see my little guys. They are both head down, which they have been during every ultrasound with the exception of the first one. Baby A (on my right side - the wiggle worm) measured in at 2 lbs. 5 ounces and 27 weeks 3 days, I think. Baby B, who is kind of curled up along my left side weighed in at 2 lbs. 1 ounce and 27 weeks, 1 day. So, that is great news that they are within just a few ounces of each other!

We got a great profile shot of Baby A (we aren't naming them while they are still in the womb) and the second I saw it my reaction was, "That is SO my husband!" He totally has Matt's profile, so that was exciting.

Here are a few more. This profile shot is of baby A as well, but he has his chin down to his chest.


The top of both their heads.

A cute little foot.


My doctor said that half of all twins deliveries end up with a c-section because of one of the babies is in distress or the position doesn't allow for a vaginal delivery. However, he prefers not to do c-sections unless they are absolutely necessary because the recovery is generally a lot harder while trying to take care of two newborns (and a 19 month old). That made me feel good, so here's hoping they stick to their current positions and don't decide to change on me!

Anyway, that's all for now! Until next time...
