We had our fetal assessment on Friday and it went awesome. All the babes are growing very well (they are the size of 23 week babies) and yes, they are all STILL boys. Hahaha, perhaps they are sick of me asking, because this time I went home with three distinct pictures of the....ummm...."parts". Kind of a funny thing to have a picture of. Maybe they will fight later on when they are older about whose fetus parts were larger? I'm not sure how boys minds work...I can see it happening though!
Boy A and C weigh approximately 1 pound 6 oz, and Boy B weighs 1 lb 5 oz. But C is the "tallest", with the longest femur length. I feel sorry for C because he has four legs kicking him all the time. The way they are positioned, is A and B (my identicals) are head down, straight up and down. Boy C makes a "t" across the top...he is transverse. So he has four legs in his belly. Poor guy. And if he wants to fight back, all he can do is punch his brothers' legs. Not very effective defense if you ask me.
I am so interested to see how these guys interact as they grow up. I wonder if the identicals will have a special bond compared to the three of them together. I really, really hope that Rylen develops a special bond with one of them (the singleton maybe?) so that he can have a best buddy too.
On another note, I am feeling well. Probably the best I have felt all pregnancy actually! We had a great Thanksgiving weekend, took Rylen to the zoo and he had a blast playing in the leaves in the park. I hope I continue to feel well because I sure am enjoying fall and the cooler weather (the heat this summer killed me).

I love the descriptions of the boys. Glad to hear they are only 2 weeks off from "normal" weights and that they are active. Do they move all the time (have different wake/sleep periods) or do they tend to sleep at the same times? Glad to hear you are well too. I'm hoping you feel this good for the rest of the pregnancy!!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is neat to hear about how the boys are positioned, and too funny that they sent you home with pic's of all the boy parts!!! They are growing up a storm in there. Does this mean you will get an ultrasound at every appt? Kind of neat to keep seeing them (and a REAL reminder that there are 3 in there)!!! Glad to hear you're feeling good!
