First Growth Ultrasound

I had my first growth ultrasound last Friday. Both boys are doing excellent! Baby A's estimated weight is 1 pound and 5 ounces. Baby B's estimated weight is 1 pound 5.9 ounces. A is apparently the wild one (I had a feeling all along). He was constantly kicking his brother and rolling around. We STILL don't have all of the measurements on him, but the tech will keep trying each time we go in. B is my stubborn little guy, but I think he puts up with a lot from his brother already. He finally moved from being stretched out across my belly and into the head down position! Now we just have to hope and pray that neither one of them decides to move around too much, the thought of a C-section freaks me out.

Kevin and I ventured out for a little while on Saturday. We are almost done stocking the nursery with baby essentials. We purchased matching onesies to bring them home in. They are baby blue and say "all good things come in two's" - nothing too extravagant. Kevin also thought it would be a good idea to bring them home in two different colored pairs of socks to make it easier to tell them apart. I guess he thinks the hospital bracelets are coming off right away?

I have another appointment with Dr. K tomorrow, so we'll see what she says about my recent L&D activity and if she will have me see an MFM. I'm still getting contractions frequently and am having to continue the Terbutaline pills to keep them at bay. The good news though, is that the L&D OB added on an order for a cervical length check to my growth ultrasound. Things look really good and it is measuring 40 mm. The L&D OB said 30 was a good number, so that makes me even more happy.

I hope to update soon on what happens at my appointment tomorrow.
