30.5 week update

We had a great visit with the doctor today. Our growth scan went very well, both babies are growing right on target! Aubrey is 3 lbs 5 oz. and Spencer is 3 lbs 4 oz. so both are right in line with each other! She is still head down and he is still breech! We got some good shots of Spencer's profile, but because of the way they are laying we couldn't get a good one of her. Every time the tech got close and would try to get the right angle for a clear shot, Spencer's rear would get in the way! Poor girl...I had a brother that used his rear as a weapon when we were growing up too! I guess he is getting his revenge for all the kicks and hits he has been taking! :) We were able to talk to the doctor about the gestational diabetes and what it all means, so that was good for both of us to hear. The doctor also had us do our first non-stress test and aside from me losing feeling in my leg from laying on one side too long, thing went well! We also got to meet with the nutritionist today and I have to say I feel a LOT better about things. I lost 2 pounds over the last 2 weeks...she wasn't too happy about that, but I have been afraid to eat too much! She went over things I can eat and things I shouldn't eat...and of course she taught me how to check my blood...so we are set to do what needs to be done! My numbers weren't too far off, and so far today they have been good, so we will see what they say next week! We are on a weekly visit schedule now, with the non-stress tests every week for a while, then I will move up to nst two times a week. With the gestational diabetes, they want to keep a close eye I guess. So, that is it for now...I will keep you updated as things change. Happy December everyone!!!
