It just gets better and better...

So another appointment today and growth ultrasound. Didn't go as well as we would have liked. Baby A (Adeline) is measuring 2 wks behind schedule and weighing in at 3 lbs 6 oz. Her sister Lilian is right on target and weighing 4 lbs 8 oz, a full pound more than Addi. Addi does seem proportionate in size which is good. Usually with growth restrictions a baby's abdomen can measure small because they are using up their fat deposits to keep up which is not Addi's case. The doc thought that perhaps she is just a "smaller" baby, but when we asked if that is something that would be typical with identical twins he told us no, it wasn't. Then told us that perhaps they weren't identical even though he and the perinatologist have both told us several times that there is only one placenta and that they were in fact identical. So confusing. So perhaps there are two placentas that look like one and we won't know until their born... Did I say yet that I'm sick of all this?

Anyways. So following our appointment we had to have another US that they call a Biophysical Profile where they look at several different things and score the babies on how they are doing. Both passed with a full score of 8/8 and they also looked at blood flow to both babies which looked good as well. We will be doing this twice a week from here on out so we can make sure that Addi is doing well. Poor scores could mean that it's time to deliver the babies early for Addi's safety. Next week we will meet with Perinatology again to do a more indepth investigation and look at the girls. Even though things are okay for now, needless to say I am beyond stressed out. I'm really starting to lose it. I know I should look at the "brighter side" and all that crap, but it's not working. No pictures of the girls this round. They apparently did all their showing off early on and are now feeling more shy and hiding those cute little faces to suprise us. As if there hasn't been enough suprises already...
