Ultra sound

Well here we are at 32 weeks. Yes I am still prego. I know that I should be happy that all is still going well, but I must admit, I want these babies out. I have become terribly uncomfortable over the last week and have been put on further restrictions for activity. This has made me very irritable. I am sure it has also made those around me cranky. I am sure that someday in the future I will look back and wish I could have a day of lying around on the couch and have someone waiting on me, but for now I am tired and would like things to get back to normal. Whatever that may be with three small children at home.

Well enough of me complaining. I had an Ultrasound this morning and things are looking very good. The girls are both healthy and growing well. Hooray for Betty, she had made it to 4lbs 3oz. Her sister is still a little smaller but is still growing well at 3lbs 2oz. So together they now weigh more than Ewan did when he was born. I will not have to have another Ultrasound until the 25th of May. So I will just sit here and wait.

Finally we got another picture of Veronica. She was very cooperative at the ultrasound appointment. Her sister, however was very busy and didn't want to have her picture taken today. SO they are both looking very healthy. Veronica is now 2lbs 13oz, and Betty is a healthy 3lbs 8oz. They are both starting to get ready for their entry to the world with both their heads down. SO the pain I have been having in my right side is not Betty's head like I thought it is her butt. Hopefully it doesn't get to big.

Ultra sound

Yesterday we went for an ultrasound of the girls. Things are looking very good. The girls are healthy and growing. Yesterday at 28weeks, Betty is now 2lbs10oz and Veronica is 2lbs. We were able to see them moving around a lot, making it impossible to get any pictures this week. Veronica has turned herself around, (what a good girl), she is no longer breech, she has her head down on my bladder. Which explains the frequent trip to the bathroom for me. Betty is still hanging out on the right side kind of across the top.

Ultrasound

The girls had their picture taken again today.

They look great. They are so active. This is a new picture of Betty, again. They have been unable to get a new picture of Veronica because she has her face turned to towards my back.

The doctor thinks that the girls no longer have twin to twin transfusion syndrome. I guess all this lying around and drinking boost has done them good.

We will have another appointment next week on Tuesday.

Ultra Sound

Today we had an ultrasound appointment and got some really great news. The girls are doing really well. They are doing so well that the doctor is now optimistic that they will be born closer to June. The fluid has begun to stabilize between the two and they are no longer considered to have Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. We will still be watched closely to make sure that they stay healthy and don't go back into stage one of TTTS. I am still on bedrest and drinking the boost drinks (very gross) to help the babies grow.

Veronica is now 1lb9oz and Betty is 1lb12oz.

Some Good News

Ewan is very excited:

We had an ultrasound this morning. His sisters still look healthy. We are now at 25 weeks and are well on our way to making the 30 week mark. The Dr we saw today was very optimistic that the girls would make it to 30 weeks and that we would likely not need to have a surgery in Toronto.

Here are some new pictures of the girls. They are still growing and things are looking about the same. Betty is now 1lb8oz, and her sister Veronica is now 1lb1oz.

We will just keep praying and waiting for their safe arrival. The next Ultrasound will be next Wednesday.

Todays Ultrasound

We had an ultrasound this morning at 10:30. The girls were very active. They found it very hard to get anygood pictures of them. They were able to see that both babies are doing well. The doctor is very happy with the twins and their activity. We were able to see the babies swallowing, very neat.
I am still on modified bedrest. Meaning I am to spend most of my day resting and sitting or lying down. I can go on short outings, but am to do no lifting or house work. It has been very hard not to lift Ewan. I think it is harder on me than it is on him. He is so independent these days.
