29 Weeks

We went to the doctor this morning so have plenty of updates.The girls have moved. They are now both head down with Lia in a ball where her feet are next to her head. Zadie is more stretched out now with her rear on the left side and feet on the right side. Her head is just to the left and next to Lia's. So, there really is no telling who is kicking when. We had been blaming Lia because Zadie was squashed at the bottom last time, but it could be either girl at any time. Both are weighing about 3.5 lbs. and measuring about 2 weeks ahead of schedule--BIG girls. This means that P currently has the equivalent of one good-sized newborn in her belly at 29 weeks along. Zadie's heart rate is now 143 and Lia's is 130. Their feet are about 6.2 cm--the average newborn foot is about 8 cm.

The pictures this time around aren't great because the girls have gotten too big to fit into the screen of the sono. That said, here is a shot of both heads next to each other and then a 3D shot where Lia was semi cooperative for us to see her hand in front of her face. No such luck with Zadie.
