Twins Update
November 30, 2007
Julie went to the neonatalogist yesterday. With multiples or any high risk pregnancy, they send you to the specialist a few times just to make sure everything’s doing fine. THere had been a little concern because at the last regular appointment a week ago with her doctor’s ultra sound machine, he thought the was perhaps a little too small and the boy might be taking too much of the nutrients. But the neonatalogist said all is well. The boy weighs 5 lbs 6 oz and the is 4 lbs 10 oz. So she’s a little bit smaller but that’s nothing to worry about and is pretty common in twins. So that’s 10 total lbs of babies Julie’s carrying around with around a month still to go. The doctor told her they’ll gain between a half-pound and pound a week from now on, so by the end it could total between 4 and 8 more pounds! Yikes! The doctor was able to get a couple of good face shots of the boy, one looking up at a cute little baby pug nose on the boy. So here are those shots. The little is hard to get a good face shot of because of how she’s positioned but all is well with both!

OH MY GOSH!!!! That is A LOT of Baby inside her! I can’t wait. They are already so big which is good. Hopefully she can keep them in a little bit longer so they can both be a little bit bigger. Oh, and what are you wanting to name them????

Oh Julie…bless you…I can’t imagine carrying around a 10 lb baby (babies). I hope the next few weeks pass quickly! Fun to see those pictures. I can’t really figure out the second one, but I do love that nose on the first one.

Jenny, the second picture is pretty much a straight on shot of the boy’s face. Look closely and you can see the mouth, eyes, and nose.

Derek, I haven’t checked in on this site for quite awhile and man am I glad I did tonight! I was able to figure out the little nose on the top picture, but like Jenny – I wasn’t sure what the second picture was. When I looked at it differently like you pointed out – a straight on head shot that little boy’s face just lept off of the page at me. I almost lost it! WOW!!! I can’t believe what modern technology can do! I can’t wait to see him (and HER) in person.

Thanks for the explanation Derek – I totally see it now! So FUN!
