36 Week Check-Up

Still cooking away! Our last doctor's appointment was a long one! We had a growth ultrasound, NST, spoke to the doctor and had to go to a pre-registration appointment through the Family Maternity Center to get the run down on what will happen for our scheduled C-Section. Right before we were going to see the doctor, we were notified he had to leave to go deliver a baby, so we headed down to the pre-registration appointment and right when we sat down in the room, we got called to say that the doctor was available to see us... so back up to the doctor's office we went! Needless to say, I got quite the workout in going from one side of the hospital to the other.
Since the babies are getting bigger, the ultrasounds get harder and harder to make out what is on the screen. But the tech knows what she is looking at and gave us the rundown:

Hailey (Baby A):
5 lbs 12 ounces
Still breach with her butt covering the exit!

Hunter (Baby B):
5 lbs 15 ounces (beating his sister now)
Head down and trying to become baby A, but Hailey is not budging!

Not only is Hunter head down, but he is so tucked inside me that they could barely get his head measurement. The ultrasound tech had to "stretch the ultrasound to it's max capabilities" to be able to get a faint outline of his head. Hailey was just as uncooperative in the NST and would not hold still for them. It ended up taking about 15 mins longer than normal to get a good enough reading. I had several contractions during the test and am still continuing to have them (mostly at night). All normal per the doctor.
