I can't believe we're a week away from being half way through bed rest to babies! My weekly outings to the OB make slogging through the rest of the week worthwhile and we finally got an ultrasound again this morning. We are on the cusp of 27 weeks and rounding the corner to third tri and the babies are still thankfully looking fabulous and growing like weeds.
Baby boy (A) is estimated to be 2lbs. and 10 oz. (holy chunker), which is the 77th percentile, and a week and a half ahead. He is now breech (the kids both decided to completely rearrange my uterus at the same time earlier this week, that was fun) so the OB is making me a C-section date, though we can obviously cancel it if he decides to move back to head down like he has been.
Baby girl (B) is est. to be 2lbs. and 4 oz., or 58th percentile, and is now a half a week ahead. She is now head to my right (switched from left), which puts both babies' heads next to each other. She is still transverse, but now more scrunched up since they are getting bigger.
So we are on course to potentially have near 7 lb. babies even if we go as early as 36 wks., which would make me infinitely happy (I told you we are not small people). My cervix is still doing its wacky thing, all dynamic above the stitch, opening and closing to up to 1.5cm. But the stitch is holding, which is what is important. Now on to third trimester!
