32 Week OB Appointment

Well, time just keeps on rolling by...and I'm still pregnant! :o)

I had my 32 week OB appointment today and I'm happy to say that my BP is still lower (it was 145/94 today), I gained 2 lbs. in a week and yes, this belly is still growing. I'm now measuring about 45 weeks.

The OB had a hard time finding the girl's heartbeat - so that had me a bit worried, especially after he asked me if I could feel her moving. And of course she's being kind of quiet today so I'm trying to drink lots of cold water to get her kicking harder. But we had no problem finding the boy's heartbeat - and he's been kicking up a storm today (as usual). Oh, and he's flipped yet again - he's sideways now with his legs right under my ribs. When he stretches those legs, it feels like my ribs are splitting. Lovely.

With everything looking stable for now, I don't have to go back to the OB for another 2 weeks (I'll be 34 weeks), and then I'm officially on weekly appointments and weekly non-stress tests until I deliver. And of course, I still have another ultrasound for next week. Wow, with all these appointments, it's a good thing we live in Canada - I couldn't afford the medical care if I lived in the US!!

I'm hoping to post another picture of my belly sometime this week - my dad and sister took some great pics this past weekend at my SIL's baby shower. As soon as I get copies of the pictures, I'll put them up.

And here are the lastest countdowns for me:
12 days until Hunter's birthday (and I'll be 34 weeks - a huge milestone for twins...and also the point that my mom delivered her twins)
16 days until March (I'm really hoping I can make it to March)
33 days until I'm 37 weeks (which is considered full term for twins)
54 days until my due date - which I'll never reach.

33 days....doesn't sound too bad. I think I can make it!!
