The babies have grown A LOT over the past month. This week they are weighing in at 3 1/2 pounds each. They are within 1 oz. of each other. According to the measurements they have grown almost a week ahead of their real age. I still have anemia and the iron pills haven't improved the fatigue much. Dr. Miller will recheck blood levels in 2 weeks. We have an ultrasound every week now so the countdown has begun! Doc said we have to try really hard to get to 34 weeks (I'll be 31 on Monday) and then we wait and see what the babies want to do. They are very active still (the ultrasound tech had a lot of trouble getting pictures and keeping up with them!) and if they keep up their growth rate Dr. Miller thinks they will be a little earlier than 37 weeks. Plus the anemia could jumpstart things a little early as well. So if we can get to the first week of November all is well.
The 2 pictures are the best the ultrasound tech could get since the twins were just giving her a run for her money! One picture is of Luci's ear. Hopefully you can see the arrows pointing to things. The other picture is of Eli grabbing his umbilical cord. It was really neat to watch him grab it. I wonder if he realizes that isn't a toy! Well, he's already got plenty of toys waiting for him when he and his sister comes out!
