Babies Are Behaving In There!

All the baby visits this week were a success!  On Monday Esme and I went for the normal non-stress test at the hospital.  The babies passed their test in record time and we were out of there in 20 minutes!  That's a record since the test is usually at least 30 minutes.  The next day I met with the perinatologist from Oahu for an ultrasound to see how the girls measure up.  And yes, they're still two girls :)  Baby A weighs 4# 8oz and Baby B weighs 5# which is impressive because they've kept their same growth curve since we first started measuring them.  Dr Hirata said normally by now they slow down in their growth but the girls aren't showing signs of slowing at all.  We only got a good picture of Baby A but B was being shy.  At one point A had her legs wrapped all around B's head.  No wonder twins are so close!  

Then yesterday I had my weekly visit with Dr Tran, my OB, and she said she's ultimately impressed with how well I've fared so far.  When she asks for any complaints or pregnancy related symptoms all I can usually tell her is that I'm tired, but what pregnant mom isn't tired?  But no back pain, swelling, bed rest, excessive weight gain, gestational diabetes, increased time off work, etc which she had prepared me for in the beginning.  She wants me to make it to 36 weeks for delivery and Dr Hirata said 38 week.  Right now I'm 34 weeks.  We're almost there!  I'm using my spring break to get the house in order for all of us.  There's a lot of shuffling around to do still but we're getting there.  

Esme is loving her new room set up and Chan is getting ready to move into his soon.  The kids have both been playing baby a lot more especially with all the baby stuff surfacing around the house.  Oh the other thing with Esme, she requested to cut her hair short!  I was surprised but totally for it since it seems like it'd make it easier and it has.  She wanted it above her shoulders but the hairdresser wanted to go gradual so it's a little longer than we expected right now.  But she's still happy with it and so the next one will be shorter.  Chan also got a new trim, 2nd haircut of his life.  He was better this time and the lady could use the scissors the whole time and not the buzzers like she had to before.  We had to distract him a lot though with our phones to keep him still.  

Baby A was the only photogenic one this week.  Baby B was hiding.  

Esme's new do!
