Measurement Update

Last night at about 6pm my doctor called to tell me that we would be doing measurements again at today's appointments. He said he wanted to check the weights again seeing that there was such a difference between them last week. The funniest part of the entire conversation was that when he called I picked up and said "Hello" to which he responded "Yeah, it's me." Good thing his office is the only private number that calls me and his voice is one of a kind!

So today I went in for my regular Tuesday appointments-NST and Ultrasound (BPP and Measurements). After my ultrasound I was told to wait in the room while they called my doctor. Believe it or not he had the nerve to be at the hospital delivering a baby:) So they let me go and said that they would have Dr. Fischbach call me this afternoon. He did call and said that we would continue with our biweekly appointments and that we would be taking measurements every week to keep a closer eye on them. He said that he was happy to see that both babies had gained weight and that he contributes some of his weight to his large head (still not enjoying this Scott head!). He weighs 6lbs11oz (averaging 37 weeks and 6 days) and she weighs 4lbs12oz (averaging 34 weeks). That's a big difference between the two but since they both made gains he said we would continue on! Keep praying for strong, health babies!

  1. Praying for both babies and for your body with that big head inside of it (and her beautiful petite head too!). I guess it's a good thing he is the 'big' one. Big girls and little boys just doesn't seem right! ;)

  3. Wowie is right! That is a big size difference. That said, ultrasounds were always way off for me. Either way, it doesn't seem like you'll make it to my guess, the 20th. I can't imagine you can fit much more baby in there :)
