Good news and bad

Well, I went in for a growth ultrasound today, and the girls are healthy. All of their organs look good and the cord dopler was normal. (I'm not quite sure what that means exactly, but I'm glad it's normal.)

Baby A now weighs 1 lb, 11 oz, and Baby B is 1 lb, 7 oz. Although there is only a 4 ounce difference, Baby B's weight is behind where it should be for her age. With regardes to size, Baby A is in the 19th percentile and Baby B is in the less that 3rd percentile. Anything between the 10th percentile and the 90th percentile is considered to be normal.

As a result of Baby B's low weight, the doctor has recommended that I modify my activity level to "light normal." She said that I should not be on my feet for more than four hours each day. In other words, it is time for me to go on maternity leave. She said that I can work for another week or two if necessary to help transition to a sub, but that I should be done working at 28 weeks, which would be November 18th.

My next appointment is next week, and hopefully Baby B will catch up a little by then. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'm sure I will soon have plenty of time to keep my blog updated ; )
