A proud mother reports

Little Aubrey grew!!! I am so proud! We went in for a final growth scan before the scheduled delivery, and found out that our darling little one gained nearly a pound in two weeks! She was measuring 3lbs 14oz yesterday, up from 3lbs at 32 weeks. Claire also gained weight, and is now at 4lbs 7oz. I hope that this means that we won't go ahead with delivery tomorrow - but I will find out for sure from my OB today. The longer I am pregnant, the less NICU time - wouldn't that just be wonderful if they could come home from the hospital with us?

I have a theory that going through surgery (my surgery, but they were along for the ride and medications) was perhaps just harder on Aubrey and caused her to plateau in growth a bit... but now that I am healthy, eating normally, and active, she's tracked right back to where she should be. ??? Maybe? Either way, we're thrilled and we hope and pray that both babies continue to chunk up! A few more days, or a few more weeks - we're getting there!

Thank you, Lord, for such wonderful surprises like this!
