November 14th, 2011 Ultrasound (24w2d)

Today we had an appointment with Dr. Renfroe at Maternal-Fetal.  Both babies look great!  Baby A is 1 pound, 12 ounces and Baby B is 1 pound, 7 ounces!  Yes, the girls are still Baby A and Baby B- We have not come to a consensus on names yet!  Baby A is still head down, but Baby B was transverse today.  All 4 feet are still in my right upper abdomen.  We were able to get pretty good face pictures of both girls today.  Dr. Renfroe said that the next month is very important to get through.  The survival rate from 24 weeks to 26 weeks increases exponentially.  She only wants me to work in the office, not on the floor, from now on and really watch my activity level.  I think Christmas shopping will be done all online this year!  I have been having some back pain so she gave me a belly band to help support my back.  I could feel a difference as soon as I put it on.  Also, last Monday I noticed my shoes were a bit tight.  By Friday, my ankles and feet were noticeably swollen.  Dr. Renfroe suggested getting support hose for that.  Chris and I went to breastfeeding class last Thursday.  We both thought it was a very informative class.  We go again this Thursday.  Chris got the nursery primed on Saturday and he hopes to finish it up this weekend.  We will post some pictures once it's done.  Our next appointment is with the OB's office on Dec. 5th; I will be doing my glucose test that day.

My co-worker and good friend, Lisa, and I at her baby shower last Saturday.  We measured our bellies- Lisa is 42 inches around with 4 weeks to go and I measured 40 inches with hopefully 13 weeks to go!
