We had another (regularly scheduled) doctor's appointment today, complete with ultrasound. Each of the babies now weigh just a hair over 3 lbs! Which means I'm almost carrying the weight of a full-term baby, with 2 months to go... They measure at the 77th and 78th percentiles for growth compared to singletons!! So despite last week's fun, we are good at "incubabyin", we have good genes, or both!
I'm measuring at 33 weeks even though I'm actually at 28.5, which is normal. No changes were noted, and the doctor just recommended that we strictly adhere to their directions until we get to 32 weeks, when the babes would have a 98% survival rate if they arrived early. At that point, he said we might even talk about cheating a little (like going out to dinner). But that's still a ways off. All good news though!
Our nutritionist appointment is next Tuesday afternoon, and the next doctor appointment is next Wednesday. They'd like to see me weekly for the time being, which is just fine with me. An outing is the highlight of my day!!!
