I feel like a broken record but we had another awesome appointment today.
We had a growth scan today. They estimate Rhys to be 2lbs 14oz (53%) and Owen to be 2lbs 9oz (42%). That's only an 11% difference which is half the difference we saw 3 weeks ago. We are really encouraged that the size difference is not increasing! In fact they are getting tougher and tougher to tell apart!
Their fluid levels are for all purposes equal and fantastic.
I'm still not showing any signs of preterm labor. My dr today said I'm doing better than many women at this point who are pregnant with a single baby. Thank you Lord.
Bonus- today Rhys was head down and low. That's what we need for me to try to have a normal delivery. He can switch around many times before delivery but hopefully he'll be where he needs to be.
There were many days that I didn't think we'd make it here. Or I thought for sure I'd be in the hospital by now being monitored. I'm off bedrest! I am physically limited by my belly and back but I'm free to take on non strenuous tasks.
Thank you so much for praying! Our main prayer now is that these boys will continue to grow healthy and strong and that they will stay in a long time still!

Great news! We have been praying for you and your precious boys!
that's so encouraging! we continue to lift your family up, especially the little boys! 2lbs! that was Nala's size when we got her...wow!
YAY! That's good news! About Rhys being head-down too. :)
So... not related to the boys, but what did you think of Hunger Games? I heard something about it on the radio and I was half-horrified and half-intrigued. I kind of want to read it but I'm worried it will give me nightmares. You should do a what-I've-been-reading post soon and tell us what you thought.
Glad you got some great news!
Since I talked to you last Friday, I've been praying for that percentage to drop - yahooo!!! They are going to be so cute!! Has Owen always been head down?
Glad to hear the good report. At times like this it seems good to be normal. Exceptional isn't necessarily a good thing. Glad you are reverting to the mean.

Owen has been head down for a while but it doesn't matter. All that matters is that Baby #1- which is Rhys- is head down! Woohoo!
Erin- Hunger Games was an interesting read. I had the same fear you did so I promised myself that if it got too much I would put it down and not look back. However, I read the whole thing and the second book Catching Fire. Its easier for me to read them and not really picture what I'm reading than it would be to watch it. I would not go see a Hunger Games movie.
So encouraging to hear good news and be reminded that the Lord is faithful.
I'm a bad friend. This whole time I thought Baby #1 was Owen. Doesn't bode well for me being able to tell them apart later in life!
No Erin- you are right. We thought Owen was baby A until two weeks ago when it turned out that Rhys is actually baby A. I just need the first baby down there to be head down- I don't care who it is!
That is so awesome!
So wonderful to hear such an amazing report. God is so good! Know we are still praying for you all!
What amazing news. Will keep praying for your boys and your sweet family.
