I had my MFM appointment this morning. They ended up doing a full anatomy scan this week instead of waiting for my appointment next week. It was great watching the boys move and kick and squirm as they were measured. Baby A once again was not cooperative. However, I did finally get to see his adorable profile! (I'll post pics later) Both babies are doing well. My cervix is still long and doing well. My blood pressure was on the high end of normal 138/88. The plan moving forward is that I'll be doing daily blood pressure monitoring at home and taking a beta blocker at night. I'll be seeing my MFM Dr every 2 weeks now instead of once a month. She also told me it was time to ramp down and work and prepare to leave.
I'm glad that there is a plan. I'm relieved that my Dr isn't overly concerned and that this seems manageable and that we caught it early. I'm a bit sad that I have to leave work earlier than planned. I spoke with my employer and luckily, they nailed down the contract with the new nanny just this last weekend. She is going to speak with her husband and the new nanny and hopefully work out an overlapping schedule for the 2 of us for a bit and then I'll be gone. She did offer to pay me cash for any after hour or weekend work, which is nice, but I'm not sure if I'll take it or not at this point.
The nice thing about leaving work earlier than planned and not being on bedrest is I'll be able to finally finish all the quilting and craft projects for the boys. I'll also be able to finalize the nursery and get it all set up with hubby.
