Tomorrow is the next weigh-in day for the twins. To refresh your memory, they were 1 lb. 10 oz. and 2 lb. 10 oz. three weeks ago. Lets hear everyone's guess about what they will weigh tomorrow - please post your guess in the comment section. We are hoping for some big numbers tomorrow.
The babies passed their BPP tests today. The doctor has also started a daily non-stress test (NST) on the donor as an additional check of his well-being. The NST monitors the baby's heartbeat and tests for "reactivity" - it expects the baby's heartbeat to spike up when he moves around in the womb. Our baby's heartbeat is showing this "reactive" behavior which is really good for a 30 week old baby. Amniotic fluid levels were good (3.9 cm and 5.2 cm). On the downside, the donor is showing some reverse flow in the umbilical artery again. However, he has dealt with the reverse flow for the last four weeks so we are not surprised.
The donor was a complete spaz during his test this morning and made it really difficult for the doctor to measure his blood flows. The doctor said "while it is a really good sign that he is moving aournd so much, now is not the time for playing such games." We think he will end up being the feisty one...

2 pounds and 3lbs 2 oz. A wild guess.... Hope it is more. Love your posts...
Love, Mom F
I am not sure if the twins are Browns or Bengals fans but we are cheering for them every day and I think someone upstairs is answering! The weights will be 2 lbs 9 oz. and 3 lbs 5 oz.

Albie and Tricia,
Nancy and I just checked out today's post as we do regularly. It's so good now to hear your humor, Albie! Tricia, we don't know you but you're amazing! God is definitely looking after all of you. Oh, and by the way, Albie - they're GOING to be Browns fans! :) Robin
Tricia and Albie...anxiously awaiting their weigh in...our twins were supposed to be a pound and a half apart and ended up being the same down to the ounce! You are right about their personalities...they are the same in the real world as they were inside! Get ready for some crazy fun! Take care...Shelley K.
ok here goes, the heavy weight tackle at 3lb 6oz and the pass receiver at 2lb 8oz....but unlike most woman the more weight the better....always thinking of you guys!!
Since I am a math teacher, I had to look back at the older posts and see if a pattern exists... Both babies have been increasing their weights by doubling the difference since the previous weigh-in. For example (donor was 10, 15, 26, which has differences of 5, 11, etc...) So, the donor is on schedule for an approximate 22 oz weight gain, which equals exactly 3 lbs. The recipient is on schedule for an approximate 36 oz weight gain, which equals a total of 4 lbs 14 oz. Now, this is purely from a mathematical standpoint and I am not sure there is enough data, to this point, to support this theory, but I am going to go with it for now!
Little Bernie Kosar will weigh 3 pounds 3 ounces and big brother Bob Golic will weigh 3 pounds 8.5 ounces.
I love updates and check the site daily. Hang in there. The finish line is in sight!
I am guessing 2lbs 9oz for the little guy and 3lbs 12oz for the big guy. Dee
I'm going with 2lbs. 7oz. for Baby A and 3lbs. 5oz. for Baby B. Di
Im guessing 2.5 for the little baby and 3.4 for the bigger baby. I love the blog...thanks for sharing your journey with us!

My guesses are 2.2 for the Bengal's fan and 3.4 for the Brown's fan

Assuming that Tricia and not Albie or the nurses are eating all the cookies means the babies are eating the cookies too so I will guess that the little one is 2 pounds 10 oz and the bigger one is 3 pounds 9 oz.
We will be bringing more cookies in - any special requests?
Hang in there - you are doing great. We missed you at Happy Hour...who am I kidding..Happy Hours....Love & kisses, Jiggles & Bruce E. Kins
Yo Trish: Not doing any housework.....cooking no meals for your spouse...once again, welcome to Redtop's world!! Try doing what you're doing for 10 years, babe!! Nice scam, huh? hahaha.
Yo Tee-Ruck: With his gold grill and extra bling, Baby Chad will tip the scale at 8 pounds even. Baby Big Willie will be sporting a big ol' bootie that can only be rivalled by his Pops. Since he'll be chomping on a Fat Burger during the weigh-in, he'll be 10 pounds 4 ounces...a la Baby Jin!!
Keep on keepin' on!
Peace, out. C-Money
