Baby B


Today we learned that baby B is significantly smaller than the other two. Baby A is 2 pounds 6 ounces, Baby C is 2 pounds 3 ounces, Baby B is one pound 10 ounces. She is tiny. This lag in growth could be attributed to many different factors and it isn't possible at this time to determine the actual reasons. However her vitality appears to be strong. She is breathing actively, moving a lot. So she is "tiny and tough." The hope is that she continues to grow. They are going to do a biweekly growth study. The medical team is monitoring the three very closely. If their health appears to be deteriorating, the team will decide to deliver them. We hope to avoid that and keep them inside for two or three weeks more.
