35 week appt

Since I missed doing last weeks 34 week appts, I will post about both. Nothing exciting happened really. Just the normal, NST, fluid check, tummy measure, urine check, etc. All were fine. The babies have plenty of fluid around them and their heart rates were fine. My tummy was measuring 42 weeks.

Yesterdays 35 week appt. Same thing, non eventful. NST was fine, fluid check was fine and heart rates were fine. I was only in there an hour this time! I of course got Mr. Personality doctor again! It's always so much fun talking with him. ha.

Next week is a weight check, since I talked Mr. Personality into it and another NST. Until then..

33 week appt

I had another NST today and the babies kept jumping off the monitors..so the nurse and I had to hold it in position the whole time! What fun. At least she was fun to talk with! ha. I ended up having one contraction in the 35 minutes I was on the monitors. That was interesting, I think I may know what they feel like now.

The u/s went well, other than Kiptyn being his stubborn self! Kylie likes to show herself off for these things, so its kinda funny. They are both breech and we got a good picture of their heads together. Kylie was actually looking at Kiptyn! Kiptyn was facing my back, so it was hard to get a picture of his head. Here are the stats this week:

Kiptyn:
--breech, still on my left
--heartrate 155
--amnio fluid is 6.0 cm
--measuring in at 4 pounds 10 ounces
--in the 44th percentile

Kylie:
--breech, still on my right
--heartrate 132
--amnio fluid is 7.3 cm
--measuring in at 4 pounds 14 ounces
--in the 55th percentile

All in all we are still doing well. :)

Oh and some bad driver (biting my toungue for worse words) parked too close to me in the parking garage and I couldn't get into the car. I had to climb through the passenger side. Not happy.

The nursery is coming along however. Pictures to come when it's done...who knows when that will be however. I can't seem to find an arrangement I am happy with.

Till next weeks appt details!

I will get the pic of the heads together uploaded at some point too!

Kylie pictures at 30 weeks

At 30 weeks Kylie was great about showing off herself. Kiptyn however was not! So we only got 3 pictures of Kylie.


Here is her profile. Nose, lips and chin, where the arrows are.


Her foot with Kiptyn's head.


And of course her girl parts!

32 weeks

Time is still flying by! Even my OB couldn't believe I was 32 weeks already!

Well I had my normal two check ups this week. I also had my first NST and they passed with flying colors! :) I had no contractions and the babies cooperated and moved around wonderfully.

I did gain 3 pounds in two weeks though.

Now for the stats:

Kiptyn:
--transverse position, bascially curled up in a ball on my upper left side
--amnio fluid is 4.9cm
--heartrate 161 bpm

Kylie:
--vertex position or head down, she is knocking on my cervix door!
--amnio fluid is 5.9 cm
--heartrate 130 bpm

Cervix is 5.0-5.2 cm long and closed! Of course again I had to hear it was nearly unheard of to have a cervix of a 5 at 32 weeks!

So basically we just keep hanging in there. I go back to the peri weekly now for NST's and next week they will do another fetal weight check.

Dr. Forrest said that he doesn't think I need the NST's, but I am going to call my insurance and just make sure they are covered and if not, then I won't do them! He also said that he usually sees patients once a week at this point, but we can stick to two weeks until next time at least. Which is nice. That at least saves me next week I will only have one appt and someone will have to watch Haley because she is not allowed in the hospital or the peri office due to the flu restrictions. :(

Which brings up another point, Haley won't be able to meet the babies in the hospital. She will have to wait till they come home. :( Its very sad. She may be able to see me in the lobby if my nurse OK's it first. Talk about making a transition harder.

All for this week.

30 week tummy

I of course was late taking pictures so this is actually 30 weeks and 4 days! As you can see the belly has grown a ton!
