Life in the Twin Lane

Why is it that those of us with the least to say...

I'm happily married (as unfashionable as that may be), am mom to a brand-new set of twins, have 3 cats, lots of books, and a new house. I am Director of Choirs at a local church and I teach private voice and piano. Hard to say which is more fun!

They have HAIR!

Both babies are measuring just shy of 5 lbs.... I think it was 4 lbs 13 oz. EACH! That is almost 10lbs worth of baby... I'm begging my OB to induce me in 2 weeks. He just smiles at me and says that we are looking at 37 or 38 weeks. Assuming that they gain a pound every 7-10 days, that would make them 8 or 9 pounds each at birth. About 16 pounds of baby!!! Help...

I am 33 weeks and am measuring at 44. That makes me look about 4 weeks overdue, even though I have 4-5 weeks to go. My blood pressure is very good (104/70), and everything else is fine. They are still in the ying-yang (head up/head down) positions, and likely to remain that way till birth. Owen is head down.

Proof of hair:

This is Owen's head, a kind of bird's eye view.


And here is Chole, likewise a bird's eye view. Note the fuzzy outside edges of each little head? That would be hair!
