They came into my room at 7:30 this morning and did another ultrasound. The good news is that things didn't look any worse than they did last week. Yeah!!! The babies have grown quite a bit too. Another YEAH!!!! Baby A was up to 2 lb 10 oz and Baby B was up to 3 lb 1 oz. They each grew about 6 oz in a week (according to the ultrasound). I know the ultrasound isn't 100% accurate but it at least gives us a good estimate on how big they are.
When my doctor came in this morning she said she was really glad to see that one of them had broke the 3 pound mark! She also told me that for every day we make it without delivering the babies equals 2 less days they have to spend in the NICU. She said to think of it as for every week we make it that is 2 less weeks they have to be in the NICU. We have to keep these babies cooking!
I don't really have any other updates other than that. Luckily the new dosing of the meds has made my stay much less eventful than it was the first few days!
