Weekly Appointments

We had a regular appointment with my OB yesterday and we're now on the "every week" schedule!

It's not like I'm really excited to go to the doctor every week, but really it means that we're getting pretty close!

Both babies are still in the same positions and looking good for a natural delivery. Tyler is very much head down now and very low. Mason is "transverse" (which means that he is in a half moon position on top of my belly button, but the doc said that it would be very easy for him to just slide down after Tyler is born. If not, she said that it shouldn't be too difficult to "manually" pull him down. This... I don't want to think about since it sounds very unpleasant, but she said it like it was no biggie. She also said that it's pretty unlikely that they'll change positions at all at this point since they are so tightly stuffed in there and there is really no room to move.

We also have to go for weekly "non stress tests" now. This is basically where they hook you up to the fetal heartrate monitors and monitor the babies heartrates as well as any contractions I may be having for a period of 20 minutes straight. If one baby moves too much and they have to readjust his monitor, they have to start the process over. I made sure to lay really still yesterday and everything looked perfect! I did have some contractions but they weren't bad at all. They also said that both babies had plenty of fluid in their sacs. They look for pockets of fluid at least 2.0cm deep/wide and both babies had over 3.5cm.

I swear these are the best babies ever. :) Next appt. is next Wednesday 2/3.
