Boys will be boys

Everything went really well at the doctor's office today. The ultrasound showed nothing but good news for A, B, and C. We measured heads, brains, cerebellum, kidneys, bladder, stomach, femur, and amniotic fluid - all excellent. A and B were both sitting low last time, which they wanted to keep an eye on, but everybody has migrated north, hooray! I'm showing no signs of preterm labor or early dilation, also great.

The babies were very active during today's appointment. We thankfully confirmed that B remains a girl. The boys were quite playful, looking straight at us and waving. They're already fighting - A head-butted C - but hopefully they'll still be good friends. Miss B would have nothing to do with her bone head brothers and stayed turned down and away the entire time. Smart girl.

The doctor was pleased with my numbers also. Blood sugar is good, and I gained a good amount of weight in four weeks but that's good. Blood pressure was down from the last time, she was quite pleased with that. And my uterus is measuring the size of a "normal" or single baby pregnancy at 33 weeks. I'm at 20. Good grief.

I got a prenatal cradle back brace thing today, to help relieve pressure on the back. I'll also be getting some awesome support hose type things to help prevent cankles. Nothing to cause alarm, just preventative tools that I can take advantage of with no shame while working from home.

I go back in two weeks for another doctor appt. but the next ultrasound isn't scheduled yet.
