Today I went to the doctor for my 32 week check-up. Since both of the babies have been measuring small the doctor has been doing an ultrasound once a month. In the past "Baby A" (the lower baby) has measured about 3 days smaller than her actually gestational age and "Baby B" has measured about a week smaller than her gestational age. There hasn't been any concern because they were both growing at a steady rate. Today "Baby A" was right on track and shows to be weighing 3 lbs 9 oz. "Baby B" ,however, is now measuring 10 days smaller.The good news is that the fluid levels, heart beats, and movements all look normal. There is some concern that the baby may not be getting enough nutrients so my obgyn has referred me to a perinatologist. She said that while this could be nothing she prefers to be "proactive" and wants a second opinion on the matter. I am assuming that I will go in to the perinatologist some time next week. So far this pregnancy has been remarkable uneventful. For this I am extremely grateful. I am, again, grateful for all of your prayers. I know that they have made a difference!
Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound today. Unfortunately the higher baby was facing my back. The first picture is of the back of her head and her back. The 3D pictures are of the lower baby. If you look closely in one you can see her sticking out her tongue. Just under her chin you can see the top of the higher baby's head.
