Everything has been sailing along nicely but this past week we got our first "bad"? news. It's not awful, but it wasn't perfect either. Baby A has dropped from the 35th to the 27th percentile in size. It could be nothing, but usually they want to see them generally at the same percentile. It could be a placental issue, blood pressure, or who knows. Really, until the ultrasound next week (and added doppler) we don't know if it matters. I'm tending not to worry about it right now, but I do wish there was something more I could do. I'm trying to eat more food although the Dr. says that doesn't matter.
My blood pressure is still pretty good but is higher than 2 weeks ago. And I had my diabetes test and that looked good.
So for now, I just have tiny babies (Baby B is in the 42nd percentile). I hope I can keep these guys in long enough to not need the NICU.
We got our cribs up! So the baby room has started to take shape. I love having this room to peak into and think happy thoughts. We decorated in green with brown animals (monkeys, lions, giraffes). Cute stuff.

Hopefully the size change is nothing! And hooray for nurseries--I'm sure it is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the maybe bad news. I hope it's just a small bump.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to have cribs and a room to look into!
don't worry too much about the size/percentile drop. it sounds like one of those things doctors get worried about that won't mean anything 99% of the time.
