24 Weeks

Again another trip to Perth, but with Christmas holidays that we are both on, it was good that we could travel to Perth on our time and not be so rushed with it. We had a lovely Xmas with my folks as unfortunately Rohan’s parents flights that they booked a while ago got cancelled due to not many people being on the flight. So it was sad that we didn’t get to have it with them as well and for them to also meet their new granddaughter as well. But they can do that once the bubs are here and have lots of cuddles with all grand kids.

So on to the scan, after an hour wait, we finally got into see our little bundles of joy and we were told that the Prof was in doing the scan! This was YAY! time us and our special high five done on the side, but she just walked out to do something and Doctor called us in, bit of a bummer that was, but the Prof did walk back in but she wasn’t going to do the scan. She sat in the background and wrote all the notes.

Due to them doing measurements last week, they weren’t measured this week, so hopefully more information next week on whether they have put weight on or not.

So firstly Ninja Twin number 1 – Kicking butt still with round 3cm of fluid round it, it did have a full bladder so hoping that the other centimetre that were there last week was in that bladder. The tiny heart was beating at 157bpm. So this little fighter was just like having a single baby and going along nicely. Plus it is also kicking my insides as it is the only one I can feel mostly.

Ninja Twin No 2 – Our little problem child, still kicking with 3cm of fluid round it and a heartbeat of 144bpm. Again also a little wriggler which was funny to watch as Doctor again was playing video games with the screen and was trying to get further away from the screen as possible with his head, then moving the hand and the scanner. (Next week I want to ask him whether he played video games when he was younger) The Prof even commented on how naughty the baby was being as they were trying to get the dopplers beats/measurements again. But here comes the not so good news, the dopplers haven’t improved at all from last week, Doctor asked whether I was back in Kalgoorlie and then ask Prof Jan whether it could wait another week. She said yes it can, so we will know more next week. More or less, I really need to start putting my feet up and get as much blood as I can to the placenta in the meantime to help the little ninja out. Rohan asked him, what will happen if they don’t improve the Dr said ‘Worst case, we will be delivering your babies’ So these babies may be seeing the world sooner than we thought.

This may also mean that I am in Perth from next week onwards, so it is onto working this week til we go back to Perth on Thursday and depending on how the scan goes on Friday, passing everything over to the lady that will be looking after the position while I am away on leave, It just seems so real that this could be happening in the next couple of weeks. But just need to think of the positives and that these little ninjas don’t like the heat much and being baked in the humanoid oven I have going on here and rather be in the air con with us.

Til next week – HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lot of love Bobbi-Jo, Rohan and the Ninjas
