32 Weeks and counting

We have officially made it to the 32 week mark today!! What a milestone for us. I went to the doctor today. Things are going well. I appear to be healthy and my blood pressure remains good!! No word of bedrest as of yet. I just need to keep up what I have been doing....taking it easy!

We did our first NST (non-stress test) on the babies today. The reason for the NST is because I am 32 weeks pregnant with twins and my doctor just likes to start monitoring movement, heatbeats and contractions at this stage in the game. The NST went well. It took a little bit of time to find both of the babies heartbeats and keep them on the monitor for the same 20 minutes. Thanks to Tyler (who happens to always be my best nurse) we were able to keep the monitor on Baby "A" for 20 minutes. Baby A tends to be a little more spontaneous than our Steady Eddy Baby "B".

Next week we do an ultrasound to determine weight, size, position, etc. I am hoping for 5 pounders!! If you were to take one look at my belly you would say that that was possible!! haha

Thank you to all who have been so much help with Justin. There are several of you out there that have been lifesavers!! THANK YOU!
