27 weeks 5 days baby update

Laura and the babies had another ultrasound today, and it was the one where they do the monthly weight and growth measurements.  The babies are all curled up in 'fetal position', so we couldn't really see their faces and there weren't too many great pictures this time around.  I will post the best ones soon, though.

Babies A and B are head down, which is great, because their ability to move around and flip is rapidly decreasing, so hopefully they'll both stay there for the duration.  Baby C is still kind of lying across the other two, with her head kind of in Baby B's feet.

The good news is that everyone is growing well, and Laura's doing great.  Laura isn't showing any signs of early labor, which is awesome!

The overview is that everyone is doing well and growing well and there's nothing to be worried about (YAY!!)  There was a lot of kicking today, including babies kicking each other, which was entertaining to watch once we realized that they are each protected by their sacs and fluid.

So without further ado, here are the current baby stats:

Baby A (Charlie Libert):
             2 lbs, 11 oz
             28 weeks, 2 days
             139 FHT (heartbeat) (normal range- between 110-190)
             amniotic fluid 3.55 (normal range - 2-8)
              65th percentile (normal- between 10% and 90%)

Baby B (John Lewis):
            2lbs, 11oz
            28 weeks
            134 heartbeat
            amniotic fluid 8.79
            62nd percentile

Baby C (Peggy Lucretia):
           2lbs, 7 oz
           27 weeks, 2 days
           155 heartbeat
           amniotic fluid 8.26
           36th percentile


So you can see that the babies don't weigh exactly the same anymore, but they're still growing well and similarly, and most importantly, they are all well within normal ranges. Also, the percentiles are for singleton babies, not triplets.

All in all, another great ultrasound, and great stats for mom and babies.
