MFM update

Cervix check went well today.  It is the same length as last week.  I saw my regular Dr there and she isn't concerned and is backing my meds down to 1x a day.  I've gained 4 lbs. this last week which is concerning.  My Dr believes it is water weight and told me to push fluids.  Baby A is still breech and Baby B is vertex.  I checked out the spinning babies website today and we may try some of the moves to get Baby A to flip.

I had a great church baby shower on Saturday.  We got two big group gifts- our double snap n go and our baby monitors.  We also received a bunch of clothes, my diaper bag and gift cards.  It was so nice to have the women in my church do this for us.  My sister came up for the weekend and attended the baby shower along with my best friend.  My sister was able to help me get more stuff done around the house including setting up our co-sleeper and organizing the linen closet to make room for baby items.  She's the best!

Hubby and I have figured out what else we need and have started purchasing the bits and pieces to finish our layette and the nursery.  We ordered the "baby condiments" as hubby calls them today.  (diaper wipes, baby shampoo/soap, baby lotion, diaper cream) I've been using online ordering as I'm still on modified bedrest.  I did do some quick shopping at a consignment store today and was able to get 4 sleep n' play 0–3-month size outfits and 3 pairs of 0–3-month size pants for $15.  However, after shopping I was SUPER tired and had to come home for a nap.

I'm looking forward to our first prenatal appointment with our doula Kate tomorrow night.  I'm excited to start working out a plan for our birth and learning coping techniques.  We have figured out a lot of our preferences for the birth, and we are both aware that we will need to stay very flexible with what we've chosen as so much can change and change quickly with a multiple birth.

Hubby has been so wonderful through all of this.  He cooks, cleans, runs errands, takes care of the dogs, takes care of me and works full time.  I'm so blessed to have him as my husband.  He's so excited to be a papa and is going to be great.
