Growth Scan update - 33wks 1 day

We had our scheduled growth scan on Friday, April 23rd, and are happy to report that things are remaining stable! Baby A weighs approximately 5lbs, and is absolutely right on track size wise. His spinal defect has remained the same, we did not see any bulge or anything indicating that it has changed. 

Baby B is still chugging along, which is quite a blessing. There can come a time with his diagnosis where it becomes healthier for him to be on the outside, rather than in. So far, he's showing good progress, and we are grateful for that. He weighs 3lbs 1oz, which is obviously quite a bit smaller than his moose brother, but that is to be expected. Baby B still has 6+ cm of amniotic fluid (AFI) and his doppler flow is still steady at 4.31.  It is quite possible that Baby B is smaller because he just wants some extra attention.   
We then went over to the hospital for our regularly scheduled NST, and they quickly passed that (I think they could hear Dr. S's voice in the room next door. They knew better than to act up and get him involved! He did actually come by to check on us and to say hi, which was very nice!  During the test, the babies were were making my stomach look like a race track as they were moving back and forth almost the entire time.  Ryan thought he could have drawn lanes on my stomach and we could have watched them do laps.  I'm not sure about that, but they were definitely active.  

So now we're back at home and resting! Ryan is taking good care of me, and making sure that I abide by all of the rules, which I do my best to comply with!  
   
It's good to hear from everyone, and thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers!
