35 Week Check-up & A Restless Night

We had another great check-up Monday night! NST test shows both babies super active and great heart rates. Our normal doctor was out of the office this week so we met with one of the other doctors that we've seen a few times. During the ultrasound they only measured the fluid so it was a quick scan this time! We had a good time catching up with one of the techs that has done several of our ultrasounds and I got her to agree that Hunter has Michael's nose. She said "without a doubt it is the same nose!" I guess we'll find out...

Hailey (Baby A) is still butt down, but Hunter (Baby B) did flip! He has his head down and his butt and feet up in my ribs.

We came home after the appointment and relaxed. I wasn't able to fall asleep because of braxton hicks so I laid awake for quite some time catching up on Big Brother. I finally fell asleep only to wake up around 1 am to contractions. I started timing them and they were lasting a full minute and exactly 5 minutes apart! I didn't want to wake up Michael just yet... not until I had an entire hour of this happening to tell him it was time to go to the hospital. But he must have had an internal clock because he woke up after just 2 contractions and then every 15 minutes after that to check on me.

Finally we decided it was time to get up and call the hospital. They told us to come in to get checked, so we packed up and headed out!

We got to the hospital and I got hooked up to monitor the babies heartbeats and my contractions. Sure enough, I was accurate and was still getting them every 5 minutes. The nurse called the doctor who was on call. He happened to be the doctor we saw at our appointment yesterday for a brief moment so that made me feel a bit more comfortable. He determined that I wasn't dilated and said that we could go home. So, no babies yet but they are making it known that they are just about ready to get outta there!

Michael of course was on top of documenting with photos of me in my very attractive hospital gown! 

We got home just in time for Michael to get ready to go to work. I was able to get in a good 45 minutes of sleep before I had to wake up and log onto my computer and start working. Thankfully I am able to work from home these last few weeks or I wouldn't  have made it in today.
