Dads advice - the day is approaching fast!

They just did an ultrasound, both babies weigh 4.5 lbs. Not bad for 32 weeks gestation! (average weight for a singleton at 32 weeks is 3.75 lbs)

Not bad at all. Mine were 6-3 and 5-8 at birth. How long does the doc want her to go? My wife went to 38, could have probably made it to 40, but she was ready. It was starting to get to the point of being real uncomfortable for her.

If I'm not mistaken, they're good to go now. Seems like the magic number was 28 weeks.

Good luck man.

Doc said he wants her to go as long as 38 weeks or until they are both 8 lbs, whichever comes first. That was said in a jovial manner, but it's possible they could be that big...
