26 weeks & 3 days

I had my doctors appt on Wednesday and Lynar was able to come with me.  This time is was with my regular OB.  I really like my new OB and how he seems very concerned and knowledgeable about twins.  He is very concerned about pre-term labor and stated a few times that he does not want me doing much of anything the next couple weeks.  He keeps telling me that week 28 is a big turning point as that is when 90% of babies born at that week will have normal lives.  I've got a week and a half now to get to that point.  He said my sore belly is really due to the growing of twins and at a faster rate than normal and so this is all normal for twins.  After talking with me for about 5 minutes, he did a 5-10 min ultrasound just to check the basics that are important.....bladders, heart, fluids, membrane, placenta.  It is great to see all that and see that everything is going well.  Baby B started out in breach position and ended up head down.  Just flipped on us.  Once he flipped, we could see the two babies kicking each other.....it was pretty cool.  So amazing I should say.
I was a little nervous and stressed since the appt because my whole worry is the size of the babies and both babies being behind already and spread apart in size.  Well, the doctor measured me (pubic bone to top of fundus) and I only measured 33 cm (which is typically 33 weeks).  The problem with this is that this was the same measurement I had 2 weeks ago.  I am really just hoping that the babies were positioned so different that it made it different.  I go in on Monday to see the growth of the babies.  I'm trying to eat up to help them to grow.  Food is a chore for me right now and nothing really sounds good.  I was hungry with my stomach growling for a couple days, which is huge for me since I get full so fast.  Excited for Monday to hopefully relieve stress!
With both docs telling me that I will have these babies by week 36, I am now down to single digit weeks, 9 weeks and 5 days.  It is starting to feel real the closer it gets.  Lyndee is off school all next week for Thanksgiving and then she will only have 3 weeks of school and 2 weeks off for Christmas, then 3 week of school and the babies will be here.....so breaking it down even more is awesome!  Lyndee is a lifesaver for me and I am going to love her being home for a few weeks!
