June 19, 2006 Ultrasound, etc...

Picture - June 15, 2006 Jess's measurement in the doorway, still lots of room!

Within the next three weeks I may be starting on my three month leave of absence to help Jess out with the twins, depends if they come home from the hospital right away, etc. On Monday, June 19th Jess had another ultrasound, we thought Brian Dixon (Jess's friend Laura's dad) might be the one who performed it but it was not to be. Jess also underwent another stress test on the babes...which proved to be quite uncomfortable, not a great setup in Dr. Gilliland's office. Then it was off to visit with Dr. Martel again who reported that, "those are happy babies", which is good to hear. We also found out that since they are pretty cramped in there the ultrasound measurements are not likely too accurate. The weights were 4 pounds with a heartbeat of 136 for Twin A and 3 pounds 14 ounces also with a heartbeat of 136 for Twin B. Seems that the happy babies are quite close in size. Since they are twins, the doctor will not be making the decision about a "C" section until Jess is in her 36th or 37th week. Her next appointment is scheduled for Monday, July 3rd at 8:40 a.m., sure hope she can make it up that early.

Tonight Jess is attending the reception and dance of one of her best buds (Amy) sister's wedding...don't think she'll be dancing too much, hopefully she will be able to stay comfortable for a little while longer. We will pick her up when she is ready to come home, she has already made it two and a half hours.
