Showering

Wow!  We are truly blessed by so many friends, family, and co-workers.  I'm not sure I can properly express how appreciative we are to be surrounded by so many wonderful people.  We can't wait to introduce our little girls to everyone.  Joy and I were so excited to have not one, but two wonderful showers.  This was an experience we were so scared and disappointed about not having.  Fortunately several more positive thinkers out there helped sway us on to a more confident and positive out look.  It also helped that we have made it so far along.

I know many of you are concerned about how things are going.  We have been very busy this past week or so.  Joy's parents and Nana were in town this past week helping with many tasks.  Joy's Mom and Nana sorted through and washed baby clothes.  Joy's dad worked on the nursery and helped with yard work.  The nursery is getting close.  We painted the walls, trim, closet shelves, added a shelf and changed out the trim.  We also put the cribs and 2 changing tables together.

The little girls are doing well.  One odd thing though.  We had the three week growth scan on Monday the 23rd and Baby B passed Baby A in size.  They did not see any signs of TTTS so they think this is just a growth spirit, but it scares Joy and I.  Baby A was 10% bigger. Now she is 20% smaller!  Baby A put on 5oz. and Baby B 12oz.  They are pretty sure we are looking at the same babies because B is still in the same location and has the same pronounced fluid in the kidneys.  They still aren't worried about the fluid because it still falls in the normal range.

So that is 1 lb 5oz plus 1 lb 11oz. which puts us at 3lbs of baby !  A singleton wouldn't be this size until 29 weeks.  Also, Joy's BP was fine 111/75 and swelling was low.
