Our carrier had her 32 week ob/gyn appt today and apparently both girls were practicing their breathing which is a great developmental milestone. Twin A is measuring at 4lbs 4oz with a heart rate of 133 bpm and she is no longer breach!! Needless to say our carrier was relieved to hear this news. Twin B is weighing in at 3lbs 12oz with a heart rate of 142 bpm.
The babies could still move and change positions although I'm not sure how since it doesn't appear that they have much room left but they really won't know their final position until labor begins. Our carrier's blood pressure is normal and her weight is still looking great but she said she's no longer looking at the scale at home.
They no longer check her cervical length so she will just be paying attention to her body to look for signs of cervical thinning and contractions; neither of which she's noticed or felt at all.
The next appointment is set for May 5th - week 34.

30 Weeks and the Name Decision
Our carrier surprised us with 95 ultrasound pictures that were taken at the clinic this week and I picked 4 of the best ones....I can't believe the fantastic quality of these pics!! I have probably looked through them all no less than a dozen times now and seeing their perfect little faces is really starting to make all this seem so real; I can't believe we're just 6 to 8 weeks away. :-)
Not much to really report except that both girls are still doing great. Baby A has a heartbeat of 150 and apparently a full head of hair. Baby B's little heart is going at 147 bpm but no report on her hair situation. It seems that Twin A decided to flip right side up so she's now breach which is leaving our carrier a bit discouraged. She really wanted to have a vaginal birth so she's hoping that this will change but since there's not much room left to move around, time is running out for that to happen.
Quite a few people have asked how we're going to decide which girl will get which name. I asked this question to Chris while we were in the car a few weeks back and he said that he feels that the twin with the lighter colored hair will be Londyn and I was relieved to hear this because for whatever reason, I felt that the darker haired twin will be Dylon. We agreed that if both of the girls have the same colored hair at birth (which is highly likely), we will just look at the girls and decide which name "fits". So basically we have no idea so for now they will be Twin A and Twin B.
We still haven't heard back from our attorneys about getting a court date but I'm holding out hope that it will still happen in April; May will just be too busy. I don't think I posted this before but the new due date for the twins is now JUNE 4TH. The ob doesn't want her to go past 38 weeks so that's the latest the girls will cook but of course, this could all change.
