Less than 8 days.......

Wow, that's crazy to say!! Had a great appt with our Specialist today. She explained more clearly as to why we needed to re-schedule for Tues. the 29th. Since they're not considered full-term til Mon., they'd be classified as preemies and since they're doing so well, there's no reason to have them be considered this. (Okay, okay, I agree. ;) ) The Girls also got measured again for the 1st time in 4 weeks. They measure their head, their femur & their stomach. The computer then takes these figures and estimates a weight. Of course, there's quite the margin for error but Baby A (our peanut) measured approx. 4 lbs. 13 oz. so the Dr. said to figure about 4 1/2 lbs. Baby B came in @ 5 lbs. 4 oz. so figure about 5 lbs. She said hopefully by next Tues. they'll be about 5 & 5 1/2 lbs. (I'm hopin the 2 donuts 4 b-fast & pizza 4 lunch today will help!) With everything else she looked at, she said they appear to be very healthy little girls. YEAH!!

What's also great about the 29th is that it's J's Dad's Birthday that day! We know he'd love to share that special day with his granddaughters. :) Can't wait to let you all know that they've arrived safe & sound. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts & prayers. (I'm starting to get very nervous about surgery/recovery/taking care of 2 infants.) J or my Mom will send out an e.m. to everyone asap, with pics soon to follow. XOXO
