year in review and an A & B update

By no means do I expect anyone other than the grandparents to sit through this entire 10 minute video, but I made a little movie of Emilia over the past year.  The change between then and now is, in a word, breathtaking.  I had no idea how much she’d changed until I started working on this back in June.  Most of these images have appeared at some point or other in this blog, but there are some new ones as well – ones that didn’t ‘warrant’ a posting by themselves. There are a couple that are out-of-order, but you get the idea… what a year it’s been!

After my doctor’s appointment today I’m happy to report that A & B are both doing well.  A’s heartbeat was 144 and B’s was 156 (still sitting on the right and left sides respectively).  All looks/sounds good – I’m measuring at 32 weeks and am at 30 weeks which is pretty normal.  I’m supposed to start taking it ‘easy’ but as the doctor noted, with a 3-year-old at home taking it easy ‘es un decir’ – basically no more going to the gym but I can still walk in the ‘hood and make sure I’m staying really hydrated because we’re in ‘crunch time.’  I’ll go back in 2 weeks and then weekly after that at which point they start the fetal non-stress testing (basically where they hook you to monitors to make sure they’re doing okay for 30 minute stretches of time – we had to do one with Emilia once as well).  No word yet on whether or not we’ll have a C-section – remains to be seen but it’s a relief to know the ‘chatos’ are doing well.
