Well did we ever have an eventful doctor's appointment today! I went in for my ultrasound first and it was not so great news. One twin is 4lbs. 12oz. and the other was barely measuring at 4lbs. They call this Intrauterine Growth Restriction. It is very common in multiple pregnancies. The poor little girl is just out of room to grow!
My doctor decided to let the perinatologist read the ultrasound and make a decision....deliver the girls tomorrow (11.06.08) or monitor them twice next week via ultrasound to see how the smaller baby is growing. There comes a point where they will actually grow better outside the womb.
And the verdict is.....c-section tomorrow at 11:30am!
We will keep everyone posted on the status of the girls and let you know when we can have visitors. The girls will definitely spend time in the NICU at this point and very few people are even allowed to visit them in there. We appreciate your thoughts and concerns and hope to introduce you to Brooklyn and Marley very soon!!!

Given the family tradition (at least now it is) of births on the fourth of the month I would have thought that they would have waited until the eighth. Good Luck!!!!
