Twin update...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give a quick update on the twins. We're at 34-weeks now, which is a milestone for a couple of reasons. First of all, after 34-weeks if we go into labor they will take minimal measures to stop it because the babies are getting to be a good size. They also shouldn't have any long term health problems if born now. As well, it just happens to be this week that Kaiser opened it's new Women and Children Center, with a fancy shmancy labor and delivery ward. This place is like the Hilton of birthing centers and we're pretty excited about getting to deliver there! My next benchmark goal is 36-weeks, at which point I'm not too worried if we go into labor.

First off... a couple of pictures. The first picture in the red shirt is my current 34-week profile (taken 5 minutes ago). The second photo is a picture of me 34-weeks pregnant with Molly. You can see the difference between carrying one baby versus two! My uterus is measuring the same size as someone who's 43-44 weeks pregnant (which is obviously much bigger than a 40-week full term pregnancy with one baby).

I had another ultrasound today, but the technician refused to give up any information, which is always annoying. But they've been staying right around the 50th percentile in size, which would put them at around 5 pounds now. Also, Baby Paige (twin A) is still breach, so it's still looking like there's a C-section in my future. Here's a diagram of twins at 32-weeks from BabyCenter.com, which for me was two weeks ago. Not much room left in there for my organs, which explains my wicked heartburn.
