Andrea Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 We are at 33 1/2 weeks now of pregnancy The doctor said if it were not for Jacob's small size it would be the most unremarkable twin pregnancy he ever saw because our surrogate is in such good health, perfect blood pressure, etc. On Tuesday June 5 we do another big ultrasound measuring and weighing the babies. If Jacob falls off the growth chart, babies will be delivered on Wednesday after a steroid shot is given to speed up lung growth Otherwise the doctor expects delivery around week 35 We are still holding out hope for a week 38 delivery so they can be more mature My surrogate thinks 38 weeks is crazy We probably are facing some NICU time due to small size. We are just hoping that everyone makes it safe and sound! That's all for now I'll update Tues afternoon after the big day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well it looks like good news, the babies grew!!!! So they are going to brew them a bit longer and we go back next Tuesday. Somehow they grew about 2lbs each in 2 weeks!!! They say the measurements are estimates though. I appreciate all the good thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
