Happy Easter

What a nice long weekend. The change table/dresser is all built making the room complete for furniture. Now I'll just need to stock it.
I've been slowly working away at diapers every time I see a sale. I'm hoping this will help it feel less expensive when the babies are here. It's amazing to calculate how many diapers you need!
On Thursday we had another growth scan. Baby A stayed at 27th percentile and is placenta Doppler was normal. So he's just a little guy. Baby B actually went up to 47th percentile. So pretty "normal".
Other good news at this appointment was that my blood pressure remains good, my cervix is long and closed and my sugar test was all normal. The Dr thinks I can continue at every second week until 32 weeks now. This could always change, but good news for now.

Update

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.
