Baby Update

We are currently 33 weeks tomorrow. I just got back from doing our 3rd NST at the hospital and doing an ultrasound at the Doctors Office. The babies are looking great and are very active. Julie was able to help me again at the hospital and I was only there for about 45 minutes this time. YEAH! Plus she got me in a lot earlier then I did on Friday...(It helps to have connections at the hospital!) Both babies passed the NST and I wasn't having any real contractions. I still have to go back on Friday for another one.

I then ran down to the doctor's office to do an ultrasound with the tech. Both babies were very active and she had a hard time getting a good picture of eit
her one. They are both head down...it has been a month. Hopefully they will stay that way. They are measuring 4.6 lbs. and 4.5 lbs. That is very exciting to hear. She also said they both have started to grow hair on their heads. She also said that if they have started growing hair at this stage then by the time they are born they should have a lot of hair. UGH! I am going to have to get up 1/2 hour earlier just to do hair in the mornings. The tech tried very hard to get a good picture of the babies for us. They both were very active and kept moving around. However, none of them were great. She said it is only going to get harder as the babies get bigger and have less room. So I put two pictures that you might be able to see what they are. One is of Baby A...it is a side profile and the other is one of their hands. Sorry that they are so hard to see.

This one is of Baby A. It is a side profile, her head is on the right side, her forehead is the bright spot on the right side. If you follow the line down, you can see her nose and mouth.

Kim, the babies look great. I am glad they are dong so well. Meredith had her baby 5 weeks early. She does have alobar holoprsencephaly and is not expected to be with us for very long.
