8th Doctors Appointment, An Ultrasound & A NST...

Today I had another doctors appointment, an ultrasound and a NST.

Today my doctors appointment was with nurse Becky because Dr. D and Dr. R are on vacation for the next two weeks. Lucky them! haha. It was pretty uneventful. she just asked how I was feeling and checked the babies heartbeats. Nothing exciting to report.

The NST went really well and both babies were very cooperative! They gave the nurse everything she needed. She kept going on and on about how great they were and that they were "perfect!" she also said that my report was so good that she was going to keep it. lol.

I then went in for my ultrasound to check the size of the babies and stuff. Baby A is head down and weighing about 5 lbs. 4 oz. Baby B is also head down (whoot whoot) and weighing about 5 lbs. 14 oz. I'm stoked!!! Hopefully both babies will stay head down. All of my fluids, the babies heartbeats and the blood flow were good so the doctor was really pleased.

He asked me if anyone had talked to me about dates and stuff. I told him that because of the doctors being on vacation I hadn't talked to them yet but I plan on talking to them when they get back. I told him that John and I were talking about possibly doing it on October 14th. I would be 38 1/2 weeks at that point and that's where I was when I delivered Raelene and Violet. He looked at my chart and said that he would really rather me wait until I was at least 39 weeks so he wanted me to wait until at least October 16th. I looked at him like he had six heads. I laughed and said you know that there are two babies in there... right??? We talked a little about it and I just don't see the point in waiting that two extra days. What could that two days REALLY do??? You know? So then he said whatever Dr. D says is ok that he will go with. So I'm just going to have to wait until Dr. D gets back to talk to her. So everything went really well today and both babies are doing AWESOME!!! We couldn't be happier.
