An expensive day
Today was an ultrasound, a fetal heart monitoring session and a visit to the Dr. Everything is looking good. We found out that the girls have hair and are a couple of big gals. Reagan is 4lbs 1 oz and Riley is a whopping 5lbs. That is a combined weight of 9lbs 1oz of baby plus 2 placentas, double the fluid, etc. That is alot of kid in there. No wonder she looks like she should beep when she backs up. Now consider this, she is due in another 7 weeks and they will gain an average of 1/4 to 1/2 pound each week from here on out. Andrea got a new medicine to try for the indigestion which causes a good puke at least once a day. Of course the new med is not covered by insurance and was $55. Combine that with the $520 we had to pay the Dr. today in copays and it was an expensive day. I sell Kobe beef for about $25 a pound. Today these kids cost us about $63 a pound. I am sure they will be worth it. Both babies are now breach. If they stay that way then Andrea is in for a C-Section. If Reagan flips to a head down position then they can probably be brought out the old fashioned way. Weekly visits from now on and another ultrasound in three weeks if we make it that long.
