10 more weeks?!
I had my 28 week appointment with the perinatologist today.
Both babies are doing fantastic - both are well over the 50th percentile (the perinatologist said they were in the 60th-80th percentile, depending on which measurement we're talking about). The boy is 3lbs 2oz and the girl is 3lbs 1oz, which means I'm currently carrying 6lbs and 3oz of baby! In due-date terms, the boy is measuring two weeks ahead and the girls is measuring one week ahead.
I told ya in an earlier post that I'm cookin' up 8lb twins and it looks like that may not be too far off the mark. When I joked with the perinatologist about it, she simply said "yes, you are." Heaven help me. I have 10 more weeks and potentially 2-5 more pounds for each baby to gain. Where are they going to fit? I'll have to stay up on my belly pictures because I'm sure they're going to start getting really fun (for you).
And now for some pictures.
Here is the boy's profile:
And here is the girl's profile:
It's hard to tell in this picture, but the ultrasound tech was able to get both babies' hearts in one shot. The hearts are located underneath the labeling on the picture. It was really neat to see both hearts beating in one shot.
Other fun happenings from this appointment:
- Apparently these little ones like to move - a lot. At my last appointment, both babies were head down. The girl is now bum down while the boy remained head down - different from two visits ago, when it was the other way around (boy bum down, girl head down). Also, the ultrasound tech had a hard time reading what she needed because they are both so active. We tried to get 3D pictures today, but these little ones would turn their head or put their hands in front of their face.
- We got to see the boy "drinking." It was super cool to see his little lips open and "drink."
- The girl is our resident gymnast. She had her legs over the top of her head. Comfy!
- The girl's kidney is looking good - no longer "big," but slightly funny shaped. The perinatologist suspects that the cord leading out of her kidney may be kinked and that was the cause of the enlargement last time and the funny shape this time.
I have another visit with the perinatologist in 4 weeks and I get to start my non-stress tests at that time. I have my 28 week visit with my OB on Friday and I'll have to post about that. It will be fun to see how big I'm "measuring."
