I probably should have gone private months ago, before putting my whole medical history online, but you know what they say about hindsight...

Another day, another ultrasound...

I had another ultrasound yesterday. The perinatologist measured them and checked their positions. Baby B, or 'baby breach' as she will now be known, is still butt-down. He told me that there is still time for her to move, so I shouldn't be resigned to the c-section just yet. 

He also told me that Baby A is approximately 2 pounds 6 ounces, and Baby B is 2 pounds 14 ounces. This means they are now less than a week behind what a singleton baby would measure at this age. My last appointment had them at a little over a week behind singletons, so this was good news!

Overall, it was a good report and made me feel like the pain of it all is paying off.

 

In other milestone news: I have finally gotten back the 20 pounds I lost in the beginning of the pregnancy. Whoo hoo.

Sharp Shooter!

I took Julian to Wal-mart the other day and we stopped by the little arcade as a bargain that he would behave and 'stay with me' for the rest of the shopping trip. He refuses to sit in the cart anymore, which may be a blessing when I have to figure out how to squeeze two baby seats in the cart in a matter of months.

His favorite game is a hunting game, which on this day I only inserted .50 cents into and we were trying to kill all sorts of wild game for at least 10 minutes. I swear the game was playing tricks on me. Usually it lasts about a minute, per .50 cents. I guess I got my money's worth.

Latest News...

I had a routine Dr's appointment yesterday. I met with Dr. Beatty! I met her once while I was pregnant with Julian. She's great, just like all the other doctor's in the practice. She was very patient and allowed Julian to sit on the table next to me while she gave me a quick ultrasound to check the heart rates of the girls. No relation to us, but same pronunciation and spelling, not very common! 

She gave me some insight about my delivery. I have another 'high-powered' ultrasound in 2 weeks. If baby 'A' is still breech at that point, they will schedule me for a c-section for the delivery on my due date. So now is the time I need everyone to think good thoughts and hope that baby 'A' will change her position in the next 2 weeks. She's kind of in a sideways/breech position. I really don't want a c-section! 

In other pregnancy related news, I bought a belly-band yesterday at the advice of Dr. Beatty. Man, what a difference it has made! My back feels fully supported and I'm already having fewer contractions. I should have listened to Mom Beatty weeks ago when she suggested buying one.

I know this picture is unrelated to the post, but I love it and had to put it up.
