Now that I am back home, I get to return to my weekly Wednesday "date" with my doctor. Today's appt was pretty uneventful - hooray!! They did a 30 minute non-stress test and that showed both babies are doing great (heart rate and movement wise). That was followed by a quick chat with my Dr to just go over any questions I had post-hospital visit. He seemed pretty optimistic this morning that the pregnancy could go at least another 3 or 4 weeks. And while Paul keeps saying that the goal should be 36 weeks, both the Dr and myself prefer to take a more "one week at a time" approach. So right now, I just want to make it into the month of October (and that's less than a week away!!). Once we're in October, then I'll be OK with the next goal - mid October. :-) At next Wednesday's appt, they'll do a growth scan, get a weight estimate, etc and then most likely another round of preeclampsia testing.
Probably some of the best news I got today was that I'm allowed a brief occasional outing - assuming I'm feeling up to it. Lately I've felt kind of slow and tired and am easily out of breath so I'm not sure just how much I'll leave the house, but knowing I have some freedom is pretty exciting!

So what have you selected for this week's outing.
What great news April! I love this website, good work and very impressive. I want to see some prego pictures of you!
How about a trip to the spa...A pedicure or facial?
your sister brooke is so right about a pedicure or facial.
I would do both so you are looking fabulous the day of the delivery!!!
