What we learned today

We had another ultrasound today.  The girls have both flipped so their noggins are next to each other and they are mind melding :)  They can do that for awhile, but not too long! I am hoping that with yoga and masage we can have baby A back in the vertex position by the time of  delivery.

We couldn't get a shot of baby b today but the baby a shot looks better than most we have of her. 

The girls are starting to even out in size. They used to have about a 24% difference in weight, and now only 14%.  Twin A is about 2lb 3oz and Twin B is about 2lb 9oz.  So it sounds like they are on track for the start of the third trimester.

I am starting to notice braxton hicks, though now that I have identified them again, I think I have been getting these subtle practice contractions for a few weeks now (which is completely normal and no one should worry!)  It is simply a shortness of breath and the belly tightening up so far.  I just forgot about these early easy contractions from my pregnancy with Turi, but I got several with him and am expected to have more with twins.

I am squarely in the third trimester and looking at another three months of growth!  Though, thankfully, I read on two separate websites that unlike single births, moms of multiples can expect to slow down in growth for the final 2 months.  So I only expect another 10-15 pounds or so rather than another 20-25. 

I think that sums up what we have happening here.  Sorry that I wasn't keeping up with people's comments before.  I wasn't aware that when people made comments they wouldn't be posted until I approved them - and that I would get no notice of the comment to begin with!  Whoops.
