Luke was originally supposed to be on a business trip today, so my parents came with me to this visit. A lot has changed technology-wise since my sister and I were born, so I think they were surprised by how much you could see on the ultrasounds now. The girls weren’t being very cooperative though. Baby B is now not only on top of baby A, but they have their heads at each other’s feet, so it makes it really hard to tell what you’re looking at – especially when trying to look at baby B. We can’t ever seem to get a good look at her because she appears to be behind baby A on the screen.
Fortunately there are still no signs of twin-twin transfusion. The girls are still lagging a bit in size, but don’t seem to be losing any ground. They’re still about 3-5 days behind where they should be size-wise. I asked the doctor if we’d push back the December 1 delivery date goal to let them grow a bit more but she said they seem to be developing just fine, they’re just midgets (I don’t think she means that literally – just that they’re tiny like their mom). She compared it to getting your driver’s license, saying "If you're 16, you're old enough to drive- it doesn't matter how big you are. 16 is 16"
Anyhow, here are new ultrasound pictures – at this rate we’re going to have a full photo album before the girls are even born! These are both of baby A and look a bit creepy because you just see her skeletal face. The ultrasound tech assured me that they'll look more normal once they fatten up a bit. The first one is from a top-down angle.
