30 Week Doctor's Appointment

I had my 30 week doctor's appointment last week (May 7th). It was a fairly short appointment. We met one of the other doctors in the practice (Dr. Moore). Tony didn't make the best first impression because as we were walking back to the nurse's office he made a comment about the office next door. He said "Man, someone really needs to clean their office!" - and of course, Dr. Moore was standing right behind him - LOL! It was her office! Luckily she has a good sense of humor and laughed it off.

They did the FFN (fetal fibronectin) test on me to check to see if there is a certain protein present that might indicate I'm at risk for pre-term labor. Luckily the results were negative which means that I should not go into labor within the next two weeks!

The doctor also "checked" me for the first time - yikes! Again, all good news there - no dilation and cervix was fully closed. She also checked the babies' heartbeats and they were both normal. Nothing at all to indicate a need for bed rest or any other restrictions. Very succesful appointment!

My next appointment is May 21st and that will be with my regular doctor (Dr. McGowan). They will perform another FFN test and do an Ultrasound to check the babies. Hopefully everything is still looking good!

One More Baby Shower!

I've been so behind this past week on updating the BLOG with what's been going on. I had my final baby shower on Saturday May 2nd. The guests at this shower were my c0-workers and a few other friends. I definitely want to give special thanks to both Anna and Wendi. Anna hosted the shower at her house and made some super cute decorations - including her famous "diaper cake"! Anna's husband brought food from his restaurant (Blue Coast Burrito), so we had a Cinco De Mayo theme going - and since I LOVE Mexican food, it was perfect! I want to thank Wendi as well for all her hard work in co-hosting the shower. The food and desserts were incredible and I couldn't have asked for a better shower! I also want to say how excited I was that my good friend Jen was able to make it to the shower! She is also pregnant and has had some complications but luckily was released from bed rest the week before the shower! It meant a lot to have her there - and she also brought my favorite dessert - chocolate covered strawberries! :) Yummy!

Everyone that came was so generous and I received lots of cute baby gifts! I work with a great group of ladies - and for that I will always been grateful! I've been with Greenvale for over 5 years and I have developed some very strong and lasting friendships. I can't wait for them to meet our newest additions to the family!

3D Ultrasound

On Thursday, Tony and I went and had a 3D Ultrasound done so we could get a preview of Emma and Logan. It was really an amazing experience.

Here is our precious litte girl -

Here is our handsome little man -
