8 Pounds 7 Ounces

OK, so that is the total for both of the babies, but that is a lot of baby.  The baby on the right weighs 4 pounds 6 ounces, while the baby on the left is 4 pounds 1 ounce.  So, they are still less than half a pound apart in weight.  That is great news.  I also had another Fetal Fibronectin test last Friday that came back negative again.  So, that means that we should be good to go through next week!  We do have some pictures, but they are getting a lot harder to see anything.  The babies are getting pretty crowded in there.  The doctor did tell us today that they would probably not let us get much past 37-38 weeks before talking about inducing labor.  She said that is when the placenta stops working as well at that point.  Makes sense...it has been feeding two babies this whole time.  So, Thankgiving babies - here we come!

  1. Great news!! I thought of you last week when you hit 33 wks (how far along when I had sarah). Now you are past that...and both your babies weigh more than she did at birth. YAY!!! SO EXCITED!! And with the news you just received it looks like you will definitely hit your target date of Nov 1st. Hopefully well past. Thanks for keeping us updated Dela! xoxo
