t minus 3 months
i had my 25-week appointments this last week and i'm happy to report that everything is lookin' good!
- both babies are above the 50% percentile for weight. the boy is 1 lb 15 oz and the girl is 1 lb 12 oz - almost 2 lbs each! i'm glad i can account for 4 lbs of my weight gain...just not sure where to place the other 30 lbs. :) and on that note, i'm 25 weeks pregnant, measuring in at 31. hol-y cow!
- i don't have pregnancy diabetes, for which i am very grateful, and i don't have anemia, either. both very good things. and for the record, the glucose test is not that bad.
- the only cause for concern is that one of the girl's kidneys was slightly enlarged (measuring in at 4mm). the specialist isn't too concerned - we didn't see it at any previous visits and it's only one kidney, not both. (she thinks the little gal just had to pee.) dr. harrison seemed even less concerned. she told us that between 5-8mm is more concerning, and bigger than that even moreso. we'll check it out at my next visit in four weeks. hopefully my little one will have relieved herself by then. :)
- i have less than 3 months until we get to meet these little guys! if they haven't made their debut by february 11, i get to be induced. fun. i wonder if they'll make it that far...they're already on the big side and, let's face it, i'm not exactly a tall person with lots of space for babies, so maybe they'll get too uncomfortable in there. i'm perfectly happy with a debut at or after 36 weeks. :)
and there you have it.
in case you weren't sure what we were having, here's further proof. hahahaha.
every time we go to the hospital for my ultrasounds, the tech is like "now this one here is a boy...and this one here is a girl." this is probably because i see a different tech every visit (or maybe they check everytime regardless), but i think it's funny. i've known for nearly 2 and a half months that i'm having a boy and a girl. but hey, i get to see my kiddos a lot and i have sufficient proof of their sexes.
i'll leave you with my favorite picture from my last visit. the boy turned, so both babies are now in the same position (head down). (this means i may not need/get a c-section). i love this picture because it's my two peas in a pod! i feel like they're cuddling, or bonding, or something of that nature. so cute.
