Time for my weekly update...
I had another appointment this morning and everything is looking great! As I was stepping on the scale his nurse commented on how I'm the perfect twin patient...good weight gain (but not too much - 25 lbs so far), excellent blood pressure, no complications, etc. That made me feel good!
We got to see another peek of our little guys on the ultrasound and they are look fabulous! I have plenty of fluid and my placenta is still functioning 100%! The best part was how much weight these guys have gained. Baby A weighed in at 5 lbs 4 ounces (up from 3 lbs 12 ounces) and baby B weighed in at 5 lbs 11 ounces (up from 4 lbs 6 ounces). Way to go boys! Oh - and they are still head down so that is fantastic news!
I am dialated to 2.5 cm and 70% thinned out. The doctor said possibly another 10 days to 2 weeks if I go on my own, but I was brave and asked if we could schedule an induction so I would know for sure that he would be at the delivery just in case I don't go into labor on my own. NO WAY is someone else delivering these little guys if I can help it! He seemed hesitant to schedule anything (probably because he is out of town ALL the time lately) but he agreed and we're all set for.....
HA! I bet you thought I was going to tell you the date, huh? Well, I'm just going to keep that to myself for now....until next time!
p.s. I will try and post some ultrasound pictures later if I can get my scanner hooked up. We got a GREAT profile shot of one of them and he looks like he takes after his daddy! :o)
Congrats on your Appointment! I am so glad that everything is going well and that he let you pick an appt.
