We just came back from the doctors and the good news is that it doesn't look like the babies have twin to twin transfusion syndrome. At least not so far.... Hooray! They've got plenty of fluid around them so that's good. The not so good news yet not really that bad news is that they still have about a 33% body mass difference. Meaning that one is right on course for weight and the other is about two weeks behind. Now don't worry they are both growing. It's just one started out a bit bigger. The doctor did mention that it may be necessary to deliver early if the smaller baby is not developing as well as the larger one. He said that 32 weeks would be a good goal. That would mean early January! Doesn't seem like enough time to me. I was hoping for around 36 weeks. If they are too early they'll more than likely be in the NICU for a while. I don't want that to happen. :(

Along with worrying about the babies we're working on trying to finance a used minivan, a used couch and kitchen set. We still need to prepare the nursery for set up - meaning move all the computer stuff around, set up the crib and changing table. (thanks to my sis Merri who gave us those items.) Anyone interested in helping us out with baby stuff would be much appreciated. We've registered at Target and Dreamtime Baby for the necessary baby items.

Twins. Instant big family. There are a lot of changes with the addition of a baby, but two adds to that, as you will soon know from experience :-)

Good luck with your adventure.
