They keep growing...

We had another ultrasound today to check the growth of the babies. At this point the ultrasounds get a little uncomfortable because I can't lay on my back for much time at all without getting lightheaded (those babies weigh on your major arteries). The ultrasounds are also kind of confusing, since we can't tell which baby is on the screen. It seems strange that the actual location of the baby doesn't necessarily match with where they're pointing the ultrasound wand on my stomach. Oh well, they all look pretty much the same at this point anyway!

The babes are all growing well and have good, strong heartbeats. Adele is a bit smaller than her brothers--apparently common for boys vs. girls. She's just under 2 pounds, which is the 30th percentile for single babies at this stage. Samuel and Michael are both 2 pounds 4 ounces, which is about 50-60th percentile if they were singles. If you're looking at my stomach, Samuel is on the left with his head down. Adele is in the middle and Michael is on the right, both with their heads up and feet down (breach position). My cervix is still long and my blood pressure is good, so our doctor is very happy with where things are.

I wrote before that 26 weeks was a big milestone, but today our perinatalogist said that 28 weeks is when you really break out the champagne. So at least that gives us something else to shoot for!
