30 week babies' update

We had another doctor's appointment today! Jessica (I quote) says that she is miserable. We can't wait to meet our babies. Today during the doctor's appointment she tried to persuade the nurses to move up the due date and while they said she was very convincing the due date didn't budge. They once again told us everything is perfect. Apparently, Jessica is "meant to do this". She's good at growing babies. She has good amniotic fluid and placentas. The babies are both head up. The boy is 3 lbs. 11 oz. and the girl is 3 lbs. 14 oz. At this rate in 3 weeks they will both be 5 lbs. That is the size Jessica and Hillary were when they were born. The doctor is hoping for additional weight gain. Jessica says "the pain is worth it because the babies are healthy". We have everything ready to go at home. Well, at least we think we do. Now it's just a waiting game and it's a loooooooong game. Officially there are 8 weeks left and with the way they are gaining weight, they will both be 8 lbs. by then. We both think that they are coming sooner than the scheduled August 22 c-section. Stay tuned for further developments.
