Perinatologist Appointment Today!

So I had my perinatologist appointment today, two weeks from my last one to check on my pregnancy in general and the status of my hematoma. Mark took off work to come and get us (Sam and I) for the appointment. Sam was thrilled as usual to cross the 'tunnel bridge' over the 'sippi-sippi' river, as he calls it. He also entertained us with a lot of American flag sitings, which is a game we play in the car to keep him occupied, and to save us from having to listen to his favorite nursery rhyme CD ad naseaum.

We were able to get a wheelchair, and Mark gave Sam and I quite the adventurous ride, as we were running tight with time. I'm not sure why we hurried so fast to get to our apppointment, since we weren't seen for another HOUR.

Anyway, we FINALLY got to see our doctor, and were thrilled to get to see yet another ultrasound of the twins. They still looked great and had 'two strong beating hearts and two fluffy placentas' according to the doc. I mentioned it must be the 'fluffy' placentas making my belly so large, to which the doc replied, "Oh you ain't seen nothin' yet."

Gulp.

Anway, all in all, doc thought things were progessing nicely, and he was hopeful that the bleed will continue to heal. So he's 'modified' my bedrest to a more forgiving level: I can be up and about more at home and drive short distances. He still doesn't want me doing any lifting, long-term walking/standing, or anything to cause physical exertion. We'll reassess my ability to go back to work in two weeks.

So there you go...we're were very encouraged by our visit today! Take care all!!!!
