Our appointment this morning went VERY well. Baby Girl is still head down, in fact, she's VERY head down, if there is such a thing! :) Her heart rate was 155 and she is weighing 4.1 pounds! Baby Boy is ALSO head down! Yay for that!! His heart rate was 143 and he is weighing 4.3 pounds! Both babies looked absolutely fantastic and still had plenty of amniotic fluid to swim in. Actually, there really isn't space for swimming any more, but they can for sure practice blowing bubbles. :)
My blood pressure continues to stay in check, my cervix is measuring 3.5 cm., which is great, and I continue to be a super pro when it comes to gaining weight. LOL!
Our next 3 appointments are on the books and they are the next 3 Wednesdays, with our next scheduled (and possibly last) ultrasound being on Wednesday, November 2nd when we will be just about 35 weeks. The Dr. said that the 35 week mark is our green light...meaning if we go into labor at that point, they will go ahead and let us deliver.
Anyway, that's all from here! Enjoy your weekend!

32 Weeks!
Holy Cow! The weeks continue to fly by! Suddenly, we find ourselves at 32 Weeks! LESS THAN 6 weeks to go!
Babies should be weighing in at almost 4 pounds each! They measure just under 19 inches long! When I cheated and looked ahead the next few weeks, it states that the babies should each gain a half pound and a half inch per week, from now until delivery! Wow!!
Just for the sake of keeping it real, I will say that my body has begun to feel the effects of being V-E-R-Y pregnant! At night, I switch off from sleeping on my left side to my right side, back to the left, then right, etc. At this point, that works for a few hours, then my hips are so sore, neither side is a good choice, so sleeping sitting up becomes necessary. I have had moments with swollen feet and ankles, and a few days where walking is painful due to the pressure I feel on my pelvis.
As my doctor so accurately pointed out, I have basically been "full term" for several weeks now. That means that this is all to be expected and VERY minor compared to what we could be dealing with at this point. I think it is SO important to keep things in perspective!
And the belly continues to grow....
My mom arrives today! She is here for only a short time, but I am really looking forward to spending some time together! She is going to come with me to my appointment tomorrow morning, where we will have an ultrasound, so that should be fun! I will of course update after my appointment!
