All is well at our OB visit today. Both babies are measuring on track, one at 650 grams (1 lb 7 ounces) and one at 600 grams (1 lb 5 ounces). Baby B is back on track, she just measures a little "shorter" than her leggy sister! She has also flipped (again!) and now they are both head down. It seems that 24 weeks has hit hard. My OB said that I am now close to the size of a full term single pregnancy and she is in SHOCK that I was working some 10 to 11 hour shifts on my feet at this point! She recommended 6 to 8 hours, but pushed it to 6 to 9 hours for me so I can still be full time (for now.) She did say that she likes to keep her patients working through most of the pregnancy at least a few hours a day since it keeps Mamas-to-be in better shape then taking them off their feet completely. My boss was happy with that today :) I actually have felt worse on my two days off when we've just been running errands and sitting around. It also seems that yes, I am having some Braxton Hicks, but not to be worried unless I get 6 in an hour and accompanied by pain. I got my flu shot at the office today to keep me, and babies safe. I asked C where my present is for my shot since I was such a big girl... but I got no response! I'm going to order a memory foam mattress topper today to hopefully help with my sleep also. I want to share some nursery pics but C wants to wait till our cribs arrive next week so will post pictures then :)
