Doctors Appointment Update

We went to the doctor today for our 30 week appointment today. I was glad our appointment was today because I have been having lots of contractions and back pain lately. Two nights ago I had contractions for around 2 hours and they were 10 minutes apart. We called the doctors office and they said to try to take a bath to relax the uterus muscles. After we took a bath the contrations decreased to about 4 the next hour.

Well, all day today at work I had cramps and back pain and just felt wierd and icky. So I was ready to see Dr. Nett.
As far as the boys they are doing great - heartbeats are wonderful and I have gained 3 pounds the past two weeks and have gained a total of 19 pounds so far. Everything thing else was fine (blood preasure, urine, etc...) however she was concerned with the consistant daily contractions and lower back pain and so told me to start working part time. Hopefully she said that will slow them down and if not then she will take me off of work compleltly. I am only working until the 20th of March anyway so part time for two weeks won't be so bad. I am fine with going part time, I just don't want to leave my job stranded right now. We are lacking people working and so I know it will be a burden for them to find people to cover me. Oh well, the boys health and safety is more important to us then my job. (that's for sure!)

I go back in two more weeks and we have an ultrasound! After that she said I will be going every week until our two little men make thre debut!

I'm glad to hear that they are doing well. And yay for working part time!! :) I bet you are glad for that. I don't know how much I can help-but please let me know if I can do anything. Take care of yourself! Like you said-it is much more important that you keep those boys safe and inside of you for at least a few more weeks! :)

hey-I meant to ask you-how many weeks are you measuring now? And when do you want to get that carseat? I might be out tomorrow and may be able to bring it by-I'll give you a call if I am.
