Day 36 - Inpatient Stay

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope that everyone had a wonderful day and found many things to be thankful for.  The weather was nice here and that made my day out and about very enjoyable. 
Well, today marks 29 weeks and it is more remarkable everyday that we have made it this far with little complications.  The girls were doing very well today and gave the ultrasound tech a very hard time.  The ultrasound today (that was supposed to be 30 minutes) took an hour and a half.  Baby B would not stop moving and then she got the hiccups making the dopplers even harder to get.  Needless to say it took a long time! 
The past couple of days have been pretty uneventful.  I have had a couple of contractions but, they are making no progress.  Which in this case is a good thing! 
Last Friday we started the Bio/physical assessments on the babies.  The babies are scored on a scale of 1 - 8.  They have to practice breathing for 30 seconds and make three different types of movements.  On the first assessment baby A did not practice breathing so she scored a 6 out of 8.  But, everyday since then they both have scored an 8 out of 8.  Movement is no problem.  The practice breathing does take some time to watch for.  The girls seem to be very healthy.
Tomorrow we will be getting a growth measurement done on the girls.  We are hoping for over 3 pounds each!  I will update soon with the results.  Thank you for all of the thoughts, prayers, and help along the way.  I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!
