We Have a Date

Oh wow. We have a c-section date! At Thursday's ultrasound, c-section was scheduled for Friday, February 15th! 5 weeks from yesterday! Ahhh!!!!

Thursday's ultrasound went as well as could be. Baby M is now measuring in the 4th percentile but doc still isn't too concerned. She's being squished by Baby N who is right on top of her and he said that the percentiles are for singletons and don't really apply. He said that they just needed to grow 100g a week and she grew 300g so he's comfortable enough. Plus he did dopplers on both placentas again and everything looks perfect so they'll check back in another week. Baby M is measuring 3lbs9oz as of 32w4d.

Baby N grew 400g from last week and now weighs 4lb4oz. But it's hard to measure her as well as she's "U-shaped" - her legs are over her face! The doc believes it's likely she's a little bit lighter than that and Baby M is probably the same weight as estimate or a little more. 

So everything looks good and Gabby will go back next week again. Poor thing had the flu last week despite getting the flu shot in the fall! But she got Tamiflu and is feeling better. We were supposed to visit her today but pushed it off to next week because me and L have bad colds and don't want to get her sicker.

The Tiffany necklace came in a mail, but on Thursday I learned that Gabby had gotten an iPad for Christmas! Ack! Luckily I was able to still cancel the iPad mini as it hadn't shipped yet. Thank goodness because we had ordered engraving with it so there was no way we could have returned it! We've decided to just get them a weekend's hotel stay in Vermont - just pay for the hotel instead of the whole weekend like we originally thought about before realizing it was too much money for us. It'll come in the form of a gift certificate, so they can decide whether they want to go alone or bring the kids. It'll be a little bit more than we planned, especially with the Tiffany necklace, but not too over the top.

34 more days!
