Still haven't gotten the u/s report from last week but Gabby did warn me not to freak out when I saw the sizes on there. She already had told me the percentiles (11th percentile and 19th percentile) but she has now informed me that at 26w4d they were measuring 25w1d and 25w3 days respectively. On the one hand that is freakishly small, but on the other hand, they are still measuring past 24 weeks viability stage which reassures me somewhat. Unfortunately, when they reach 28 weeks gestational age later this week it won't really be like they're 28 weeks though. Gabby told the MFM I would be very concerned (which is totally true) so he told her to tell me (lol) he's not worried. And talking to some other people I have learned it's not where they are right now, it's if those percentiles drop the next time. So we'll see. I have the feeling she'll be going in for some NSTs soon.
She sent a 27 week bump pic but her daughter is sitting on it and I'm trying to figure out how I can just blur out the face :) She looks like she's swallowed a basketball - a perfect small and round bump. I would look like a house by now. I'm so jealous.

All I want is for my babies to reach 5lbs each before they are born. I don't think they're even 2lbs yet. Sigh...
In other news, I will probably be posting to a protected (i.e. password protected) blog once they are born (that is not "anonymous"). I'm not sure what I will do here yet but it's going to be hard to give this place up. I don't know if anyone cares as it's actual baby related, but if you want to go to my non-anonymous blog and want the password I'll let you know to email me for the password when the time comes. I haven't done anything yet, just a heads up.
I'm a freak about security, lol. I don't think I even want names up on here :)
Sounds like you will just have two beautiful little girls on your hands in a few months :)
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for wanting to keep your privacy when the girls are born.
Of course I'll still follow! Can't wait for them to get here!
ReplyDeleteYes! I would also love to follow if possible. Thanks for keeping us updated.
ReplyDeleteI still for sure want to follow!!
ReplyDeleteI will still follow. I feel like I'm in this with you. I can't believe it's so close!!! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI'll still follow and will definitely want the new blog link!
ReplyDeleteHopefully those little girls grow at an appropriate rate. I know it's concerning though. Sending positive thoughts and hoping all is well!
You have been such a good infertility blog friend to me!
DeleteI would love to still follow if that's ok! As one of the first surrogacy blogs I found I feel so invested in your story and am excited for the arrival of the girls!!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I am invested in yours! and now subscribed! (oh I hope).
DeleteI would still follow, but I understand if you want to keep it to people you know better. :) I would even tell you MY name and you could lexis all my public records and see I'm not a serial killer. (I just did that to myself yesterday. Actually that's a bad idea because there is WAY too much information out there! They had all of my places of residence since I was 11.)
ReplyDeleteHaha, no I "know" you! I think only people who have commented on my blogs and who's blogs I've looked at (so I know you're "real") I would give the password to - not new people I've never heard of before.
DeleteI google myself from time to time and there's a drug dealer who got arrested at the age of 36 AND a porn star with my name. I am always worried someone will google me and think I'm one of those! Especially as I get older because some people don't check out when a news article was published! :)
But is it a hot porn star? That's all you really need to worry about. :)
DeleteI would love to follow your new life with the girls. Even though I don't have a blog of my own, I'm just an interested and concerned person that loves to follow heart-felt stories like yours. And, having twins myself, I love to follow those especially!
ReplyDeleteI would still love to follow after they are here :-)
