Yesterday we met with Dr. Jones to check on the progression of the preterm labor and to see how much our babies have grown. Grady and I have become pretty good at looking at the ultrasounds and knowing the general outcome since we have had so many and initially we felt pretty good about this one. Then we get to meet with the dr and he goes over every little detail and explains to us what he sees and thinks about the situation. This time - he just put his head down and shook his head- IN AMAZEMENT!! He was thrilled at how everything was looking- not only was my cervix holding the babies in well- it had actually gotten thicker to better support the weight of the babies. Ahhh- the weight of the babies- this is my favorite part. Baby A is weighing in at 3 lbs. 5 ozs. and Baby B is 2 lbs. 13 ozs. Even with the size discrepancy, both babies are measuring bigger than what their due date projects. This is great news because with twins this is not always the case. It must be a combination of the bedrest but all the wonderful food that our Sunday School class, my mom, and Grady has prepared for us. Grady has totally perfected scrambled eggs!! He can make the best eggs I have ever eaten. He has been reading his book "The Expecting Father," and I really don't know what all he has learned about in this book but the one thing he continually brings up is how much protein the babies need during this phase of the pregnancy- hence the egg overload! However, in the past few days, he is well on his way to perfecting pancakes as well. As miserable as I am on bedrest- this has definitely given Grady the opportunity to become quite the chef- maybe this will continue after the twins are here???
I guess the point of the post is the let you know that our 28 week milestone has been reached and we are now setting our sights on 32 weeks!! Thanks for all the prayers!!
