<\/a>12 Pounds of Baby<\/p><\/div>Today we had our most recent appointment with the Perinators<\/strong>. They have tentatively scheduled one more appointment for four weeks from now, though they think it likely that we’ll have our two little boys by then. The question of the day from the ultrasound technician and from the perinatologist was, “What are you feeding those boys?”<\/p>\n Our Very Large Flying Monkeys<\/p><\/div>Dominic and Alexander have remained in the same position as before. Dominic is on my right side with his head down and Alexander across the top of my belly with his little butt and feet over by Dominic’s on my upper right side – this is an area with a great deal of activity. Future footies in the making?<\/p>\n Interesting Tidbits:<\/strong> We could see their hair on the ultrasound! Plus, we got to see Dominic having the hiccups. <\/p>\n 33 Weeks:<\/strong> Tomorrow (Thursday), we finish 33 weeks. Our goals were to reach at least 36 weeks and for the boys to be at least 6 pounds. If we make it to 36 weeks, we could be looking at 7 pound little boys or larger.<\/p>\n Here are the new numbers, and you can compare them with our numbers of 4 weeks ago<\/a>:<\/p>\n 2643 grams \/2805 grams = 0.9422<\/p>\n Concordance = 94%<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Alexander and Dominic continue to distort the belly in a variety of odd and asymmetrical shapes, but the real entertainment is when we get to watch them kick and push out on my belly. <\/p>\n Nursery Update:<\/strong> Our nursery is almost completely set up thanks to the help of our friend Cindy who was visiting this past week and who made sure we got all the newborn and 0-3 month baby clothing washed and ready. Some of our friends also passed on their changing table to us. Thanks!<\/strong> I was a bit worried we might need to buy some preemie diapers and clothes just in case, but that is looking less likely now.<\/p>\n Mommy Update:<\/strong> I slow down a little more every day it seems, and I often have to take two naps a day now. I did get sick last Monday morning, but it appears to have been an isolated event. Right now, my carpal tunnel and swelling is well under control. For the gestational diabetes, I have to eat meals around 6 times a day, but my numbers have been good. Some of my major symptoms are that I’m a bit more uncomfortable, my indigestion has increased, my belly itches (like crazy sometimes), my allergies are in full force, and my feet ache (especially first thing in the morning). Still, all these are balanced by the joy of feeling our boys moving around and seeing Puck’s face as he watches my belly rock and roll to the boys’ games.<\/p>\n Daddy Update:<\/strong> Puck has a cell phone now, and we’ve started packing the bag to take to the hospital. The twin-daddy also got a light for the nursery and has continued to feed his boys and baby-momma extremely well (as demonstrated by their exceptional size). He’s working on getting his paternity leave set up at work too, and he’s just been amazing taking care of all of us.<\/p>\n 44 days until September 2<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We’ve already passed 10-Pounder Day!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 23 days until <\/span>Median Day<\/span> (August 12)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Today we had our most recent appointment with the Perinators.
