Perinatologist visit

My dr. sent me to a Perinatologist as the ultrasound technician thought there could be low amniotic fluid in the sacs last week. I saw the specialist today and she does think that Baby A (boy) does have low fluid and one the arteries in the umbilical cord had normal flow but the other looked like it had restricted flow, which could explain the low fluid. I basically was told I have this week to wrap up work and will be going to the dr twice a week now to monitor the babies through non-stress tests. Also, she recommended pool therapy. The goal is to keep the babies inside as long as possible. My doctor would like to get to 36 weeks (I'm a little over 33 now) and if things are still okay then get to the scheduled c-section date on 2/25. The babies are measuring 4lbs 9oz and 4lbs 5 oz. And, I don't have any signs of pre-term labor which is good.
I headed to Target today to get a swimming suit that would fit and then to the rec center. The rec center is about 2 or 3 miles from the house and has a therapy pool. The therapy pool is warmer than the regular pool and smaller. It felt really good once I got in the pool and floated around with a noodle.

Babies R Us Shopping Spree

Andy and I headed to Babies R Us today to get some things we needed for the babies arrival, such as a pack n' play, car seats, bouncy seats, diapers, etc. We spent close to two hours in the store and we were able to use our Registry Completion discount, some coupons I had, and the twins discount on a few items. Babies R Us will do a 10% discount on items over $50 in which you purchase 2 or more of the same item. So, that is nice. The car was pretty full!
Hard to believe the babies will be here in a month or less! I guess we are as ready as we are going to be.

Another shower

I had another shower today at Dana's house. We have known each other since freshmen year at Carolina, so it is great we are both in Denver. The shower went well and I was so happy to be able to celebrate with my friends in Denver. We received lots of items off the registry. Thanks to Olga for going with me to Babies R Us to get registered as she just had her baby in October. Andy was able to come towards the end to say hello and get everything loaded in the car. He leaves tomorrow for a conference in New Orleans, so I will be busy get everything organized and doing thank you notes.

Work Shower

I had my shower at work today. The decorations and flowers were very nice and there was a great turnout. I couldn't believe how many gifts there were to open. The babies got a lot of cute outfits. And, one of my co-workers crocheted the blankets below to match the bedding in the nursery. We also received a gift card to Babies R Us, which will be put to good use when we go to get some of the items we still need for their arrival.
