Wow, Big Babies on the way!

Holy Cow!

We had another ultrasound this morning to check on the babies' progress. Carrie's efforts are definitely paying off. Baby A (Squirt) is coming in at an estimated 7lbs 8oz, and Baby B (Peanut) is coming in at 5 lbs 3 oz. The Doctor was concerned with the weight differential, but said that all the other markers were good in that both babies have plenty of fluid in their sac, plenty of blood flow from each placenta, plenty of movement from both, good strong heartbeats, and both were "breathing" amniotic fluid. No more measurement ultrasounds, but the Doctor wants us back next week to check the markers to make sure nothing changes.

We also saw the Midwife who was very pleased with the report and was pleased with their positions and believes they will be good to go when labor starts and should present well for a natural delivery. She encouraged Carrie to stay on moderate bedrest for at least another week which would put her at 37 weeks and then look at trying to get them to venture out. We go back in a week to see the Doctor for another checkup.
