Doctor Report

All went well at the doctor's. Mommy is happy to report that Harrison and I did pretty well, especially considering we had to wait an extra hour for our appointment. We were nice to everyone in the office and there were no major meltdowns. Phew! Even more of a relief was to hear the doctor say the babies look great....they are growing -- and so is Mommy -- she is measuring at 38 weeks! (twins generally measure 4 weeks ahead....mom is 31 and 1/2, but he says this is all fine and good -- we just have to watch for signs of preterm labor since mommy's body will think the twins are all done well before they really are....but again everything else is doing its part in helping to keep the twins stay put). Baby A appears to be breach, so we're hoping he/she takes up an interest in gymnastics and tries to turn around in the next month or so. Heartrate of Baby A was 134 and Baby B was 139. Mommy goes back for another ultrasound in 2 weeks. Thanks for all the well wishes!

That's fantastic, Karen! Question about the heart rates...do twins' heart rates naturally fall a little slower, or should we be using old wives' tales to take something from those readings? Good luck with these last few months!
