We had our 28 week Doctor's appointment this past Tuesday and everything is looking great. We had another full anatomy scan ultrasound and both babies are growing nicely - Emma is now 2 lbs 14oz and Logan is 3lbs 1oz. They're within 5% of each other's weight which is perfect! The only bummer is that Emma is still not cooperating with Mama and is still breach. There's still a possibility that she will turn, but we're running out of time and room. I'm trying to prepare myself for a C-section because I think that's going to be the most likely outcome.
I will start going in now every two weeks, so our next appointment will be on May 7th. This appointment will be with one of the other doctor's in the practice. (We still have 3 doctors left to meet). The plan for this appointment will be to "check" me and also to do a test called a FFN (Fetal Fibronectin). A negative result on the FFN test means it's highly unlikely that I would go into labor within the next two weeks. They use this test for women that are considered high risk, but have not shown any typical signs of pre-term labor. A positive result does not mean that you'll definitely deliver within two weeks, but it does tell you that you're at risk for pre-term labor and allow the doctor to make decisions on how to proceed with treatment. Hoping for a negtive result and a little peace of mind!
We have scheduled our 3D/4D ultrasound appointment for this Thursday! I'm SO excited to get a sneak preview of our little babies :) Hopefully they'll cooperate and we'll get some cute pictures to share with everyone!
Epic Fail!
