Biophysical Profile and 31 Weeks

Hello and Happy 31 Weeks!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had our 1st BioPhysical Profile today.  The boys both did great.  A biophysical profile is done by ultrasound and they are looking for 5 different elements 1. reactive heart rates from their NST (2 points) 2. Breathing for 30 seconds (2 points) 3. Tone  (2 points) 4. large movements (2 points) 5. Fluid level (2 points) .   Baby A got a 10/10.  Baby B got an 8/10 (that darn fluid volume)... we knew all along that Baby B would not get his points for fluid.... so his normal will be 8!  B did a wonderful job with his breathing .... he was "just showing off" said the nurse. We also saw Baby B knee Baby A in the head... again my life with twin boys!!! :)  We are so happy that the boys continue to do so well... we just have to get them 21 more days!!!  

Last night we had our annual Odeen/Kassekert/Utech/Everson Christmas Extravaganza!!!  For those of you who don't know, the Odeens' and the Kassekerts' have been friends for a very long time and each year we get together to celebrate the holidays... as tradition goes... we take a photo every year of all the "kids" in front of the Christmas tree... this year was obviously different. This year is also special because both Katie and I are expecting babies and we are both 31 weeks pregnant. Thank you to everyone for making the trip down to the hospital and thank you to Katie and Mike for the very cute dinosaur blankets for the boys!!!
We will update on Thursday after the growth ultrasound!!!!
Love, B, E, B and the Boys
