Picture Update

Another successful visit today at the perinatologist. I love going to the peri...long looks at the babes without peeing in a cup or stepping on a scale. The office was rather busy today so our ultrasound was done in the "procedure room". Not as cozy as the other rooms and it makes your mind wonder...what kind of "procedures" exactly? I kept hearing the "Twilight Zone" music play in the back of my head while waiting for my martian doctor to come in for the "procedure".

However...no procedures other than ultrasound and cervix scan.

Both babies were measuring 24w1d even though I am officially 23w3d.

Estimated weights were 1lb 8oz for Little Miss Caroline and 1lb 9oz for Little Man Parker. Crossed the 1lb mark! Awesome! I couldn't help but think of my nephew (who is now 15).He was born pre-maturely...only weighing 1lb 10oz...and he made it and is doing great!

Caroline is still liking her new breech position and Parker is still transverse. Apparently Caroline's placenta is still lying low...I always get asked if I have any bleeding. Knock on wood....not since this post...and I would prefer to keep it that way...thank.you.very.much!

So...more than likely they will be delivered by C-section...which is fine by me. Don't get me wrong...I think a vaginal birth would be fantastic, but with twins I prefer to keep things very controlled. Sur-prise, sur-prise, sur-prise huh?

(Yeah...no. No "sur-prise" from this control freak.)

Even though we got good looks at both babies...Caroline was being a little camera shy. So...here is Little Man...face and abdomen shot on top...profile pic on bottom. I get more and more excited about meeting these little ones every time I see them on that screen.

Can April get here already?
