Last Appointment with Regular OB - August 17, 2009

Well, today was my last appointment with the OB that delivered both of my other children. She is leaving the clinic in Brookings and so I have decided to move my care to Sioux Falls.
The appointment today went well. All I really cared about was seeing the babies and knowing that they were alright. And they were! They were laying one on top of the other with ones head by the other ones feet. They were literally kicking each other in the head! The heart beats were good and strong. They are still currently around the same size. But, measuring ahead of where I am with gestational age. I guess that is a good thing, the bigger they are the better they will do!
In deciding to move my care to Sioux Falls, I have been referred to a perinatologist (Maternal- Fetal Medicine Specialist). My first appointment with the specialist is going to be on Thursday morning. I am pretty excited to be in the care of someone who hopefully knows a little more about this type of pregnancy and how everything will be working from here on out. I will update again after my appointment on Thursday.
