25 week appointment with the Peri

Today, I dropped Haley off with Arria at her moms house which is closer to the hospital and went on my way to Fairfax Hospital to see the peri. Today was just a cervix check to make sure it was still long and closed. I figured it would be a quick ultrasound and it was. It didn't take long at all, I waited longer than anything, as usual. She first did the belly u/s and check the babies heartbeats and the amount of amniotic fluid around them and all that good stuff. She said they looked great and were very active. She was even nice enough to take some fun pictures for me. I should have asked her to get one of the boy parts since we dont really have a good one, but oh well. Maybe next week I will get her again. She was very nice. Then she did the cervix check and it was even longer than two weeks ago! :) Go cervix! She was very impressed. You could see the boys head again pushing against my cervix.
So once I was done and dressed I went back outside to sit and wait for the doctor to call me in. He looked at the pictures and then the report and said everything was great. He said that there are people that would pay for my cervix! ha. I asked him what would be after my appt next week when they check the fetal weights, do they check my cervix again? His responce was, "I highly doubt we will need to check your cervix again unless you are having contractions or something."

The heartbeats were 141 and 147 and their amnio fluids were 6.1 and 6.3 or something around that. He said anywhere from 2-8 is normal. Baby boy is still head down and baby girl was still transverse with her bottom down. Their feet are in the same spot basically, so this is why I feel kickboxing in the same area!


Here is baby boy, side view. They were both facing my back, so she couldn't get a picture of their faces that was good.


This is baby girls face and hand, if you can see it.


And again baby girl facing down with her spine.


This was my 24 week belly shot, so last week.

I have my OB appt tomorrow, so if he says anything exciting, I will update then. If not then it will be next week after my fetal weight check at the peri.
Or if we get the nursery done this weekend I will take some pictures.
