Default Peri appointment.. and opinions wanted.

As I mentioned before.. I have never seen a Peri.. in fact I hadn't seen an OB in over 6 years until just a few weeks ago. So I am not really sure how to read them nor what the normal level of care is. So I need you all to give me your opinion on whether you feel its obsessive or seems about right.

ok..

Babies swapped positions. Dani is now baby A.. she is our peanut girl. and Sophia is B.

Dani is the baby that is measuring a bit behind.. she is measuring at 25 weeks 1 lb 7 oz. Sophia measured at 26 weeks 1 day (right on) 1 lb 13 oz. I had an u/s 2 weeks ago Dani measured 23 weeks 1 day..1lb 3 oz.. and Sophia measured 24 weeks 1 day (right on) and 1 lb 8 oz. So both babies seem to be growing.. its just Dani isn't growing at the same rate.

He checked fluid levels.. great, doppler flow.. wonderful, checked all her organs including the blood flow in the heart and a few things that I really have no idea what they were.. but seemed close to the heart so maybe some valves? All looked great. She moved around like crazy. He said that other then her growth.. she looks like a wonderfully healthy baby and he really has no reason to suspect TTTS at this point.. but IUGR is a concern.

Now.. I didn't really expect that he would want to see me again.. don't ask me why I just thought he would check on her and send me back to my MW and OB. But he instead said..I want to keep a very close eye on you and want you in here every week. I know that many of you see a Peri.. shouldn't it be every other week at this point?

ETA..I almost forgot.. here is Dani.. Sophia was snuggled up into Dani's butt so they couldn't get a good pic of her ..lol.. maybe next week.
