29 weeks, 6 days

I had my 30 week appt today. Both girls are doing good, however the size discrepancy has increased. Mia is 2 lbs, 13 ounces; Lily is 3 lbs 10 ounces. That is a 13 ounce difference, there was only a 5 ounce difference 2 weeks ago, and for the past 2 months. Both girls have good fluid levels and good flow in the umbilical cords, so the doc isn't too concerned at this point. I go back in 2 weeks for my next appt and sono and i'll also get my first steroid injection at that appt to help mature the girls lungs.

I spoke with my doc about my discomfort with delivering the girls on 11/14, as i feel it's too early to do it for no reason. He agreed. Basically he's going to schedule the surgery for that day, then when I go the week before, if all is good and there are no issues, he'll call and push the surgery back 2 weeks.

No pics this time. Lilly was sitting on Mia's face. They didn't want any photo's taken..
