We visited with the Perinatologist again on 12/4 and had a growth scan done! Baby A (our little boy) has caught up! He weighed (at that point) 2 lbs 4 oz and they guessed he was about 14-15 inches long. He's all scrunched up at the bottom of my uterus... so he can't really move all that well! Baby B, our little girl, is 2 lbs 2oz, and is about the same length. She's moved from being horizontal at the top of my uterus to kind of being diagonal along my right side. They're thinking she's trying to help Mommy out and try to move more vertical so I can deliver easier... but little Mister doesn't seem too motivated to get out of the way. Its ok.. at least she's stepping on him to make up for it. *hehe* :)
They (the doctors) are telling me they think I'll deliver around 35 or 36 weeks. That's only 8 or 9 weeks away!!!!!! We are getting so excited, and just can't wait to meet these little acrobats. They are moving so so SO much now, and its hilarious to lie down at night and watch them just "jump" around. :) They are responding to sounds, and for some reason whenever I happen to have a kitty lay on my tummy, they don't like it all too much, and kick until she gets frustrated and jumps off. *laughs* They're already spunky.. just like their Mama. :)
I also visited my regular OB that same day and had some bloodwork done. They tested the averages of my last 3 months worth of blood sugar - and everything is fine!! They also tested my iron, and I'm just slightly anemic. With twins, its no wonder!!
Last night my Mom showed me pictures of the bedding she is making for them -- it is SO much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and I am so excited to see it all put together in their room. :) Mom is so talented, I wonder why I didn't get the creative gene... lol!
I have another peri appointment on 1/8 and a regular OB appointment on 12/18. If there's more to update, I'll be sure and do so then!!!
*hugs*
