The kids studied last night and the grades were better today than yesterday. The children are weighing in at 2lb 3 oz (boy) and 2lb 1 oz (girl). Thier weight, amniotic fluid levels and other measurements put them in the 60% percentile for babies at 26 weeks. So they are beating out at least 60% of all the other kids (including singles, not just twins). Both babies are postioned head down and are getting ready for their big debut.
The doctor was not too worried about all the F grades that we received earlier this week. She changed the thyroid medication dosage, prescribed an over-the-counter iron supplement and scheduling a follow-up glucose test for next week. For the glucose test I have to go to the testing center after fasting for 8 hours, have my blood drawn, drink the orange drink again, and then have my blood drawn every hour for 3 hours. Hopefully we will be able to get a grade better than F on the next test!!

Jenny & Jeff, Reviewed your latest blog reports, the video, etc.; your sense of humor is good! Glad things with the twins are going well and hope your grades get better! Jenny, be careful on trip to Toledo; hope you have a good time with family. We love you guys, Kathy and Ronnie
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the grades are improving. Time for their arrival seems to be approaching swiftly. Congrats on winning the bed...maybe they knew twins were expected so they're hoping you'll buy a second crib. The bed looks really nice..will it adjust to a child's bed and twin as they grow...that would be a great feature. Hope we'll see you in Denver when the twins are ready to fly.
