Sorry I didnt get this out there right away, Abby and I spent some time running around Sioux Falls and then we went out to eat with my mom and my brother Andrew. The good news is the babies are still doing wonderfully. Baby A is 1lb 6oz and Baby B is 1lb 5oz and as my OB pointed out they have reached the point where they can survive outside the womb if something happens and they come too early. (yay!!!!) Though we want them to stay in at LEAST another 4 weeks because their health will only get better. ZERO signs of Twin Twin Transfusion once again and my cervix has thinned a little but still looking good so we are now past the point of cervical incompetence issues and move onto the point of watching out for preterm labor.
I've started spotting again (sigh) but because the babies, the cervix and the placenta look so good they arent overly concerned about it and are just going to keep an eye on it. (Still very annoying and slightly scary for me) I had a feeling that Baby B flipped... and I was right. Instead of laying across the top of my abdomen she is now breech on my left side and Baby A still remains head down on my right side. It's amazing how strong they are and how hard they can kick! I just figure B got tired of playing footsie with a slightly more active sister.
I have another appointment the week after next... and I'll be back at school! (yikes!) We will be doing the glucose check (yay for orange drink stuff) and then another ultrasound and Peri appt and OB appt... the fun never ends I tell you. Dr H said that if I was having twins with 2 placentas I would be going in 4 weeks from now but because of the one placenta we go in more often. She explained that it's just hard to really know how the babies are doing without an ultrasound because kick counts are really difficult and there is no way to measure to see if the babies are growing right outside of an ultrasound. So... looks like I'll be giving you guys appointment updates here for awhile. Did I mention my blood pressure was amazing once again? 92/60?? All that walking and Abby running must be keeping me in shape... and I hadnt gained as much weight as I thought I had so we're ok there too... Dr says I still look fit and trim and she'd never guess by looking at me that I was 24 weeks with twins. (I'm measuring 31 weeks now across the abdomen)
Ok better go lay down for a nap while Abby is sleeping... this day has completely worn me out! More to come and thank you Lord for another happy report and a good day :)
Oh! and if you are wondering why there is only a picture of B... A decided she was not going to get her picture taken, her face was pressed up against my back and she never flipped... so perhaps next time we'll trick her into getting her picture taken! B took some coaxing herself and we could only get her to move her hand/arm a little to get a sneak peak of her face... little stinkers!
