36 weeks

Today I had another super fancy ultrasound. The babies have finally decided to have a little bit of discordance in their growth. However, it's only a 6% difference so no one is terribly worried about it. Baby A has an estimated weight of 5lb 9oz which is in the 32 percentile for a singleton baby. Baby B has an estimated weight of 5lb 14oz (gaining a full, exact, 2 pounds in 4 weeks) and is in the 48 percentile for singleton babies. This is very good for twins, in fact we're almost average for a singleton. Additionally at this appointment I brought along Beckett and Ciaran to take a look at the babies. Grandma came along too so that there was not quite as much chaos. Beckett was such a good boy. He really paid attention and kept asking which baby was which and what body part we were looking at. The perinatologist was happy to see Ciaran again and was amazed at his growth and progress. He kept saying, "I can't believe that's the same little guy."

With so much baby going on some people have asked what I am looking like these days. Here are some pictures from around 30 weeks pregnant. Sadly, I am so much bigger now. A friend of ours is starting a photography business http://ryanreidphotography.com/ and took some lovely pictures of our family. That's where Beckett's awesome Zoolander picture came from.

Beckett lovin' on his babies.





And my personal favorite.

  2. I totally disagree about your size! I think that any random stranger on the street would think you were only have a singleton. You look great!
