We had another ultrasound at 33 weeks on November 16th to check the babies' sizes. We were hoping they would be around four pounds each, but instead we were surprised to find they had grown to 4.8 and 4.65 pounds, putting them at the 70 and 65 percentile, respectively! If we do make it to 37 weeks it is very likely they will be average size babies, rather than premie size as most twins are. And Baby B is no longer breech; both babies are head down with all of their feet under my left lung. I often need to rub that area to remove the sharp pinch from a foot jabbing into my lung. :-)
Another fun thing is both boys frequently have the hiccups. Apparently this is very common and feels like a rhythmic pattern of moves in the same spot, but too slow for a heartbeat. Technically the boys could come at any time (and Mom is ready as I'm getting very large and uncomfortable), but we are taking it day by day hoping they will stay put until around December 18th.
