Another week has gone by and here comes 35 weeks. The twins measure about 18.2 inches long and weigh almost 5.5 pounds, roughly the weight of a honeydew melon. Although babies are considered premies until 37 weeks, 99 percent of babies born at week 35 survive without any major complications. S joked about carrying the twins to full term or even past due date because all her past pregnancies have been that way. It seems that we may be heading to that direction.
As it gets closer to the delivery, S now has a weekly check-up. There will be biophysical profile and nonstress test this coming Monday and we are anxiously waiting for the results. Plus, we will know if babies have turned their heads down.
All the stuff that we think we need are in place. A pediatrician is lined up and infant CPR class is scheduled this coming Monday. We are only a few weeks away from making our dream come true. It is exciting and nerve wrecking which is impossible to concentrate on anything else.
