So this morning (8:30 am) I had another ultrasound with the high-risk doctors. That was the reason for the very quick post this morning. But I’m back now. I have more pictures, but those will need to wait a bit. <\/p>\n
The drive to the hospital took over 30 minutes. The roads were wet. People drive like idiots when the roads are wet. I saw 2-3 fender benders pulled off along the highway which were caused, I’m sure, by people not paying attention to the stop-n-go traffic. It was insane. I don’t know how people drive that every day. I asked Eric if it was always that bad…he said no. Still…<\/p>\n
As for the babies, all looks great. My cervix is still long and closed. The babies are developing normally. Our boy is the “mover and shaker” of the pair (heart rate in the 140s), and our girl is apparently biding her time until after they’re born to pay her brother back for all the dancing he’s doing now. She’s pretty calm for now (heart rate in the 130s). But they have no major problems at all. <\/p>\n
As for weight, she’s 1 lb., 7 oz, and he is 1 lb., 5 oz. That makes almost 3 lbs of baby in there (plus ‘amenities’), which explains why, all of a sudden, my belly has actually felt <\/span>heavy. Just in the last few days, I could tell a difference in how they were pulling on me. Of course, then I got thinking that we’re aiming for at least 5-pound babies in the end. Which means we’ve got another 7+ pounds to look forward to in the next three months. Yikes! But that’s what we know. All looks good, so we get to wait another 4 weeks before we see the specialists again. Praise Jesus! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So this morning (8:30 am) I had another ultrasound with the high-risk doctors.
