My boys are doing well.
Atticus measured at 26w1d, and a hefty 1lb 13oz. He continues to be in the 20th percentile. His abdomen was very small today--25w2d--but his femur continues to be long (27w1d!). I did ask about the discrepancy. Usually babies preferentiate their blood to the head (his was 26w1d on both measurements), then abdomen, and lastly legs. For him to be somewhat asymmetrically small in this order is unusual, but not overly concerning. It could be that he takes after his mommy--long legs, short torso. Or slight miscalculations in measurements. Or yes, a sign of placental failure. We're not seeing that yet, but it's on the radar. As long as he keeps growing, he stays inside, but we need to keep a close eye on him.
(Which is why I am so upset that we can't get in to the office until after the New Year. I'm supposed to be getting scans every 3 weeks--this time I had to wait 4 'because of the holiday', and now I have to wait five, again 'because of the holiday'. Which also puts us at post-New Year and new insurance. I talked to this peri, who apparently works at the new place as well, and she's fine with transferring my care to the new place. I'm going to ask my OB to make me an appointment there, and hope to get in shortly after--if not before!--the New Year.)
Damien continues to be a champ. He weighs 2 lbs 8oz! He was measuring at 28w3d, but for some reason was still in the 50th percentile. I'm not quite sure how that works--if he's ahead, shouldn't he be...ahead? But it doesn't really matter, since he too is growing along his curve. And, by the way, jamming his bum into my ribs with all his little might.
So all's well in the Frat House. I hope they're decorating for the holidays, because I'm not letting them out for quite some time.
