Baby Info

Oh, and just in case you were wondering... I went to the doctor today and had a sonogram for the babies' size and stuff. We didn't get to do a videotape since they apparently don't do that at our hospital, but I did get some pix. I can post a few of them later, after I have time to scan them and fiddle with them.

But the babies were "sized" and Sean is 2 lbs 10 oz and Maia is 2 lbs 5 oz. According to gestational size charts, they are right at normal, and actually a little bit big for twin sizes. (Especially Sean!) It says on the twin charts that at my stage (27 weeks) they should be about 2 lbs 2 oz. So there! Singleton babies are supposed to be about 2 1/2 lbs about now. (What's a half pound-- that's 8 oz, right?) So Maia is just a little under the singleton baby size and Sean is actually a little bit bigger. Figures. :) They certainly wiggle and squirm a lot and I can definitely feel them in there!

They were very cute on the sono. They have always seemed to want to keep their heads together. Maia is now considered breech cause her feet angle down towards the cervix, and her head is lined up with Sean's. In one of my sonogram pictures, it looks kind of like they're leaning their foreheads together. Very sweet. The doctor said in one shot that it looked almost like she was kissing him on the forehead. Isn't that too damned adorable?!
