Today the boys are 30 weeks and 2 days gestation. We had another ultrasound today (August 5) and got some surprising information. The boys are growing VERY rapidly. Baby A grew slightly more than normal. Baby A was 2 lb, 8 oz 3 weeks ago and today measured 3 lb, 9 oz today, and has grown 17 oz in 3 weeks. Normally they grow about 4 oz per week. Baby A measures about average for 31 weeks and 2 days. Baby B was 2 lb, 9 oz 3 weeks ago and today measured 4 lb, 1 oz and has grown 24 oz in that same 3 week period. Baby B measure about average for 32 weeks and 4 days growth. Both are very healthy. The perinatologist said that if they were born today, the long term prognosis would be very good, so we're pretty happy. Now we're just hoping that they'll stay in longer so that we can finish getting ready!
So, we did most of the painting of the nursery last weekend (thank you Beth and Charlaine for your help!). We have a little more to finish up and hope to have the nursery and what furniture we have, ready by the end of this weekend. We've ordered cribs and they're due within the next week.
