OB Visit Today

Hey Friends and Family-
It has been awhile since I posted last, but wanted to try to keep you up to date. We were officially released from the specialist last week. Today I had an appointment with my new OB. I changed OB's so that I could deliver at Northside Hospital. For those of you not in ATL, it is the baby factory of ATL. There is such a good chance that I will deliver 4-6 weeks early, that we decided it would be best for our little ones to have the best care possible. Northside has an incredible NICU if necessary, and it has a reputation in ATL for being the best.

The appointment went well. My OB seems really nice. He gave me the green light to get back to the gym and on the tennis courts when I start feeling better. That was good news. I will be making an appointment for an NT scan within the next couple weeks. It has to be done between weeks 12-14. Hopefully all will be well with that.

I got to see the babies too :) Baby A (which my doc refers to as Top Bunk) in still moving around like CRAZY. Both the Dr. and the nurse were cracking up at all the non-stop movement. I think I am starting to blame that one for all the vomiting...Baby B, aka Bottom Bunk....was still chilling in the back of my uterus. He/she was moving a little bit more, but seemed to be very content just hanging out. The Dr. referred to that one as Huckleberry Finn.

We will let you know how the NT scan goes. Apologies for not doing a better job keeping up with this blog, but I have been spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Hopefully that will subside...real soon!

Love Y'all!

Baby A


Here is the best pic we got today at the US. Baby B is too far back in my uterus to get a clear shot. Isn't he/she cute? I think it looks just like a Teddy Graham. :)

Turn Up Your Volume...

My sneaky husband 'videoed' the ultrasound today...well the heartbeat part. So...both babies are doing great. Baby A was all over the place. Moving her :) hands and legs like crazy. The US tech was having a time trying to get a good measurement b/c there was so much movement. Baby A will probably be more like his/her father. Whereas, Baby B was totally kicked back and chillin' in the far corners of my uterus. He/she would give us a wiggle every now and then, but seemed to be perfectly content just hanging out. Baby B seems to have more of his/her mother's traits! Everything looks fantastic. Heartbeats measured the same at 160 bpm. The nurse told us we are 95% out of the woods :) Yippee!

I will post a pic later tonight.

Love-
Chris and Jenn
