Yesterday we had our regular baby check up. The ultrasound showed that both babies are now head up, like they are having a conversation. They are also kicking the crap out of my bladder. I'm not surprised to see them in a completely different position because they have been moving around like CRAZY! (I felt kicks in very different spots from Monday to Tuesday.) Over Christmas my mom and Chris got to feel them move. My mom has been trying for a while, but they like to stop right when she touches my stomach. She was surprised at just how hard they are kicking already.
Anywho, the big news at the appointment was that they informed me that come 32 weeks, I have to start going in twice a week! I'm going from once a month to twice a week. Crazy! The appointments are for non-stress tests and biophysical exams. They will measure the babies' heartbeat, breathing, fluid levels, movement, and muscle tone. They do this to determine how the babies are doing and to figure out when they should make their grand exit. It should be pretty cool to watch. The pain of it is the timing. I will be going every Tuesday and Friday, and the latest appointments on Tues are 3pm, and on Friday are 2pm. This doesn't really work with my schedule, since I work until 3 and the dr.'s office is about 40 min from school...
