Babies at 29 Weeks

The babies and I had our 29-week check up today. True to their big baby genes, both Baby A and Baby B weigh in at 3 pounds... which makes six pounds of baby. Measurement wise they are 3-4 days ahead of the average for singleton at this age. My doctor said, "You know, Lori, twins typically slow down in growth." Me... full of hope, "Really -will this be soon?" Doctor, "Typically they would have already slowed down by 29 weeks; looks like you have big, beautiful babies."

So let's hear a "Yea" for big, healthy twins and one quick "Ugh!" for mommy's body. Currently my stomach measures 35 weeks of a woman expecting one child and exhibits the trauma of being stretched to capacity - Gabriel was so kind as to point out the "boo boos on mommy's tummy" when I took a bath this morning. He was quick to assure me that if I leave my boo boos alone that they will go away soon. Hmmmm....

That's about it for the Great Baby Update. We go back in 2 weeks (July 9) for our 31-week visit. Then visits will be weekly... around 33 or 34 weeks, we'll go twice a week.

Check back in later for a little story we like to call "A Pop Tart Father's Day..."
