From the Twin-Daddy<\/h2>\n
\"Hunter-Gather<\/a>

Hunter-Gatherer has built a crib from sticks and bark.<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday morning I put a big ‘X<\/strong>‘ on my calendar on the day labeled ‘Halfway Home Day<\/span><\/span><\/strong>‘ which represented halfway to our goal of 36 weeks. \u00a0Mary and I celebrated with an Italian lunch in which we stuffed her with Spinach, cheese pasta, garlic bread, and sweet potato fries from my plate. \u00a0The kids are growing like mad, my wife is no longer able to easily see her feet, she waddles like a pro now, and I finally built a crib this week. \u00a0With each new goal we reach another calendar day rises to take its place.<\/p>\n

Concordance<\/h2>\n

Mary has already mentioned Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) in her blog post earlier<\/a>. \u00a0With this in mind getting the boys through the second trimester with good growth is really key for us. \u00a0Dr. Hershey, the baby-ninja, tells us that the boys are ‘concordant’ in growth which is a good thing.<\/p>\n

Stage I TTTS is defined as 20% or greater discordance in growth. \u00a0Because I am an engineer I tend to fall back on math and data. \u00a0I want to know exactly how concordant these guys are to each other.<\/p>\n
