Another Wednesday = Another Doctor Appt

Today is a milestone day - at least for me (and Paul and the babies). I have officially made it to October and into the 32nd week of this pregnancy! When the bedrest started back in the middle of August, October seemed so very far away... I guess listening to everyone's advice and just taking it "day by day" really worked. I am feeling more and more relaxed with every day that passes and more and more ready to meet our little girls.
Everything looked great with both babies at today's appointment and my blood pressure "couldn't have been better" (according to my Dr). According to the ultrasound measurements, Baby A is estimated to be around 3lbs 12oz and Baby B around 4lbs 5oz. The half pound difference seems big to me, but both the Dr and the nurse said that their weights are healthy and consistent with how far along I am. In fact, the Dr said that at some point, genetics can start to play a role in their size and that it could just be that B is going to naturally be a bigger baby. They tried again to do the 3-D ultrasound, but there is just too little space and both girls had an arm right around their face so all we could get were profile pictures. So not only will their names be a surprise for everyone, but so will what they look like! :-)
The last bit of news - while my Dr really doesn't think I'll make it to 37 weeks (which is considered full term for twins), if for some reason I am in the 36th week with no signs of delivering any time soon, he will start to look at inducing. That means just another 4 to 5 weeks, at most!! I've been feeling pretty uncomfortable the last couple of weeks and knowing the end is so close is wonderful news!
