Week 35 Update: Final week count down!!!

Finally, here comes the final update to our last prenatal ultrasound appointment.  This update also signifies the final week count down to our cesarean delivery scheduled on Nov 17th. We have finished all pre-scheduled prenatal appointments since we admitted at Mount Sinai Hospital on July 18th.   Fion and I never thought that we would make it this far, perhaps week 30-32 tops!  Anyway, below is the latest update from our last appointment.

Beanie #1 (Baby A):
Position: cephalic (head down - right)
Average size: 34.4 weeks
Est. weight: 2,460 gm / 5.4 lbs (45 percentile) - continue to hold the baby GIANT award.

Beanie #2 (Baby B):
Position: cephalic (head down - left)
Average size: 32.4 weeks
Est. weight: 1,860 gm / 4.1 lbs (7 percentile) - growth continuing to slow, but still gained some much needed weight and lift himself pass the 4 lbs milestone!

Beanie #3 (Baby C):
Position: oblique (head sloping down and body slope toward left)
Average size: 33.8 weeks
Est. weight: 2,320 gm / 5.1 lbs (35 percentile) - no need to compete for nutrients (fraternal), Baby C continue to strive fairly well alongside with Baby A and he is only marginally 1 week behind Baby A at this gestational age.

Overall:
Our OB Dr. Murphy and her team raised no concern over any of the babies at this point.  To speak the truth, this is quite reassuring and I have just begun to enjoy this pregnancy knowing that our babies will do just fine with a much less chance of life-long health problems or developmental complications.

The below pic marks the end our prenatal ultrasound appointment.
