22 week check-up



(Meredith is pic on top and Berkley on the bottom)

I had a 3rd ultrasound today, this was scheduled just to measure the growth of the babies b/c the docs were a little concerned by the fact that there was a 20% discordance between the boy and girl (he was significantly bigger). We were blessed to have my mother and father-in-law accompany us to the appointment, which made it all the more fun! The measurements today show hat both of the babies have grown steadily and are very healthy. They still have a 20% discordance, which leads us to believe that the girl is just naturally smaller. Meredith is weighing about 1 lb. 3 oz. and Berkely comes in at 1 lb. 7 oz. - which sounds beautiful to me! They're heart rates were healthy; Meredith @ 160 and Berkley @ 140. Berkley sucked his thumb for us to see and Meredith held her legs up to her head - at one point her feet were actually above her head...crazy flexibility. The doctor didn't have any concerns and I'm feeling great! People at work have commented this week that my belly has finally gotten round and I'm starting to have the pregnancy waddle, which is fine with me...at least for now, we'll see how I'm feeling about it in a few weeks. I'm just thrilled to know that my babies are developing normally.
