Another appointment down and closer to meeting our little ones! Both babies have plenty of amniotic fluid and are as active as ever. Had our first NSF test (which we will continue to have each week until they arrive). This by far is the most comfortable test I've done this far in the pregnancy. They put you in a nice comfy chair that reclines while they monitor each baby and their heart rate/movements. They put on a monitor for each baby and then one to measure contractions. I had 2 contractions during the test, but both were very mild and I didn't even feel the second one. The babies both passed with flying colors and the tech was surprised with how active they were (maybe a sign of things to come... we'd better brace ourselves)!
All the regular tests are coming back with great results, but as a precaution the doctor is having me work from home the remainder of my pregnancy. It is kind of a relief for me and puts my mind at ease. We want the babies "cooking" as long as possible.
After the NSF test we had our ultrasound and neither baby wanted to give a profile view so no ultrasound photos this week. It was an interesting experience as we had a trainee start the ultrasound. Thankfully our normal tech came in about 5 minutes later in to help and finish the scan. It was good timing because no one told me that I'd have a newbie poking around and I was starting to wonder who this lady was that was checking on my babies.
Another appointment next week!
