Also on October 8th, we have an OB appointment complete with an ultrasound. These are now happening every 2 weeks (officially), so we will be getting LOTS of pictures of our little ones as they continue to grow. This is also the day I "get" to do my glucose tolerance test. I am REALLY not looking forward to this, but it must happen. I just hope that I can keep down the nasty stuff on an empty stomach long enough to complete the test and that I don't have to repeat it again down the road. In the meantime, I am working on completing a 24 hour urine test today. Lots of tests this week!
I get the rest of this month with my OB, then I have to switch. I do have appointments scheduled with each of the others so I can decide who I want, but I dread having to make the switch this late in the game. I am officially in my third trimester (especially since I am not "allowed" to go past 38 weeks with these twins), so the babies are growing very big very quickly and our appointments are happening much more frequently. This is the time when I need to have a really good OB to support me, so I am sincerely praying that I will fall in love with one of my "options" just as much as I have enjoyed my current OB.
Aside from scores of testing in the next couple of days, we finally got signed up to do our hospital tour. I was hoping to also get enrolled in some prenatal classes, but there don't appear to be many available right now. Hopefully it will pick up soon, or I will just seek some online. I am such an advocate for patient education that I feel like I need to be as prepared for this childbirth business as possible.
