31 week updates

Baby A profile at 31 weeks!   Look at those cute little cheeks:). Their faces are really starting to fill out.  Baby B did not cooperate, so we did not get any pictures of his face.

Baby A estimated weight 3lbs 8oz (24th percentile)

Baby B estimated weight 3lbs 3oz (12th percentile)

Baby B's umbilical cord showed restricted blood flow in both arteries, which may be contributing to his growth slowing down.  The doctor seemed concerned, but will continue to monitor.  They will be doing biophysical profiles and Doppler checks of blood flow next week and will do a growth check again in two weeks.  If baby B falls below the 10th percentile, they will monitor growth even more closely, but that does not necessarily mean we will have to deliver early.  The growth difference between the boys was 9%.  At this time, nothing with the babies health indicates we will have to deliver in the next week or two.  I will see my OB on Monday for another check up of my health.

Part of Baby B obscuring Baby A's face.  I think it looks like there is a Nittany Lion paw print on him...just a coincidence/distortion though!  

9 weeks of bed rest done!!!
