Nearly 29 weeks.

We had the 28 week ultrasound Monday, babies were active as ever. Baby A, the boy, is still head down, SO far down that they had a trouble measuring his head. They don't think he will flip at this point which is great with our hopes of a regular delivery vs c-section. His sister is still breech and at this point I think she's pretty comfortable where she is too. Heartbeats were in the 140s for Baby Boy and 150s for Baby Girl.  Their weight is around 2lb 3oz for the boy and 2lb 5 oz for the girl.

During a growth scan they measure 3 things, the abdomen, head circumference and femur. These measurements calculate a percentile, the babies were around the 26th percentile a month ago and are now around the 14th. The doctor and midwife said that we shouldn't be alarmed, but they want a more in-depth ultrasound to really check for growth and the flow through the umbilical cords. They are very cautions with twins and so a week from today I will have an ultrasound done by an amazing perinatologist from University of Iowa Hospitals.

Based on their weights, movement and at 28 weeks my belly was measuring at 30 weeks, I just know they are growing and thriving and I think this ultrasound will give us all that peace of mind.

We are just about 29 weeks now...amazing!!! I seriously can't believe we are down to just over 9 weeks before these little peanuts will arrive. With January only a few days away, March 3rd (38 weeks) is literally just around the corner. 

I text or talk to Sara and Jon almost daily, I love to hear their excitement, these babies are oh-so-loved already. 

Will write again after the ultrasound.
