So I announced on my BMB and on the loss board, but I completely spaced telling you lovely ladies about how my little rainbows were here! You all have been so much help to me through this pregnancy I thought I'd share my little sweeties with you!
We had a scheduled csection on 4/21 at 37w due to both babies being breech/transverse and some BP issues I was having. Caroline Marjorie was born at 8:41 am weighing 5lbs 13.8oz and 19.25 inches long. Oliver Benjamin was born at 8:42 weighing 8lbs 0.8oz (he ate all the food apparently!) and 19 inches long. Neither one needed any NICU time and they were both able to be with me in recovery as I'd hoped! We didn't even have any jaundice issues thankfully. They're both beautiful, I can't believe how in love with them I am already! I'm including their brand new pics as well as one week pics!

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing them.
I have a question for you, during your mfm growth scans were they ever concerned about the difference of weights (if so, do you remember when it was first mentioned) and how accurate were they after all was said and done? TIA

At the growth scan I had done at 30w they were concerned because there was a 1lb (17% discordance I think at the time) difference between them. They did another ultrasound at 34w to check to be sure that the discordance didn't grow between them. At that ultrasound they estimated Oliver at 7lb 4oz and Caroline 4lb 14oz. Because there was the same level of growth from one ultrasound to the next they weren't concerned. They didn't do another growth ultrasound after 34w. I think Caroline may have been slightly restricted as she was wedged butt down in my pelvis and Oliver had all the room in the world in the upper part of my stomach, but no doctor said anything about that. She was always quite a bit smaller than him, but the difference grew in the last 7w. She was still somewhat large for her gestational age though. Hope that helps!
