Babies due two weeks apart...

Well, yesterday presented a bit of a scare. I had my big ultrasound, and it showed that one baby is measuring perfectly normal, and the other is near the bottom 10th percentile. My OB said that it ususally wouldn't be a big deal, except for the fact that he's measuring so much smaller (two weeks smaller) than his brother. Both babies have good, strong heart beats and are growing really well. One is just so much smaller! The doctor is a little bit concerned that the smaller baby isn't getting enough nutrients, and suggested that I may need to deliver at 34 weeks, instead of waiting until 40. So I have to see a specialist on Tuesday who will check everything a little more closely and make the delivery decision. Hopefully everything will be fine and we can wait for a later deliver. Otherwise, my new due date will be Feb 3! Scary!!
