We had our latest ultrasound appointment today. Because we are expecting twins, we have had a monthly ultrasound since the beginning. We have become quite used to the exams and I like to watch over the technician’s shoulder and see what she’s doing. Here’s the what they measure…

1) Head Circumference
2) Stomach/midsection circumference
3) Length of ulna bone
4) Length of femur bone
5) A look at the four ventricles of the heart
6) A look at the kidneys
7) Measure the space between lip and nose

Through all this information the computer spits out the weight of the baby based on the measurements provided by the technician. One month ago the babies were almost identical in weight and were 3 pounds. Today, we were surprised to learn that J.T. is now 5 lbs. 7 oz. and Brianna is 5 lbs. 1 oz. And we’re only at week 33! We were hoping to get to the middle of June but now it appears they may come a bit sooner. Pretty exciting stuff!
