More news is bad news?

So we had another Dr. visit and growth ultrasound today. The girls were a little more shy than usual today so all we really got was this profile of Baby A. Baby B was not up for the paparazzi. We also got a sneak peak at the nice patch of hair that Baby A is growing! Who knew you could even see these things. The girls are growing, but not quite at the rate they once were. Baby B is right on schedule for her age and is weighing in at a whopping 2 lbs 12 oz. Her sister however, is starting to fall a little behind and is measuring a week younger than her twin at 2 lbs 6oz. Dr Kroska isn't alarmed at this time, but as Baby A is at the low end of normal for the amount of fluid in her amniotic sac we will have to keep a close eye on this level.

I also had to complete a glucose challenge test today, which I failed horribly. This is an indicator of possible gestational diabetes. Not good. So now I get to go back on Wednesday for a 3 HOUR glucose test. If you ask me it sounds like the one fun thing I have left in all of this (food, especially chocolate) is about to be taken away from me. All, I know is that these better be some damn cute, sweet babies or I will be asking for a refund!

I have been trying to keep a positive attitude, but I can't lie and have been feeling a bit down these last few days. I can't help but see our chances of spending time in the NICU growing stronger and stronger (no offense girls, but I think you all know that working in NICU is one thing and sending your babies there is another). Dr. Kroska was kind enough to remind me that not EVERYTHING that CAN go wrong has gone wrong... yet so that is a plus, but that it is a very fair assumption that our babies will be here before christmas ( a very bittersweet present indeed).
