Weeks 29 & 30- Had another growth check! Baby A is FINALLY bigger than B!! He is in the 30th percentile and weighs approximately 2lbs 11oz. He is head down and is sitting pretty low. B is in the 23rd percentile and weighs approximately 2lbs 8oz. He is transverse and loves my belly button area. Doctor says everything looks great and they are doing really well with their growth because they are measuring right along with where a singleton pregnancy would be right now. My belly is measuring 35 weeks now! Because they are doing so well with their growth it'll be another month before our next growth check. I will have regular check-ups every two weeks from now on but not having to watch their growth is reassuring! Only 6-8 more weeks to go! (As long as these two cooperate and don't try to come early)
Weeks 31 & 32- This week we had another appointment! Baby A was really hard to measure because he is sitting super low. And boy can I feel it! His weight estimate is 3lbs 11oz but our guess is he is probably closer to 3lb 4oz. Baby B was really easy to measure because he is still transverse. His weight estimate is 3lb 1oz. My doctor's goal date for these boys to make it to is May 1. That's less than 4 weeks away! Our ideal goal is May 17! It's getting closer!! My belly is measuring 38 weeks compared to a singleton pregnancy. I'm super curious to know what I'll measure just before I give birth!
Weeks 33 & 34- We got the car seats in the car! According to our doctor, as long as there isn't anything extreme, if these two come now out local NICU would be able to care for them. We're hoping they've still got a good two weeks or more left before they come though!! For those who are curious (like me lol), based on a singleton pregnancy, my belly (fundal height for those who know what that is) now measures are 42 weeks! And is still growing! As of our last appointment Baby A is measuring 4lbs 3oz and Baby B is measuring 3lbs 15oz. Which is awesome!! If we make it to about 37-38 weeks this will put them each at about 6-7lbs each, which I would love. They are now both head down, and because of this, my doctor has given the green light for a vaginal birth instead of a c-section!! We're so excited and can't wait to meet these two little cuties! We also had pictures taken! I'll add a couple of my favorites.

Week 35- We made it to 35 weeks! We now have a pediatrician for the two boys which is awesome and a relief! Both are still kicking away and sometimes moving in ways that make me wonder what they are doing. I'm doing pretty good. I'm really felling the hip pain this past week and it makes me wonder if they've dropped a little. Both us and our doctor want at least one more week before they're born, if not more. We have their hospital bag packed!! Ours is halfway packed,.. We'll finish packing tomorrow or Monday.
Til next time!
