Hallelujah!

First appointment at the new practice today, FINALLY. And very pleasing results to boot.

The practice:

• Actually seems to know what it's doing! I came with a list of questions but they were pretty much all answered before I could open my mouth.
• Has six doctors that do deliveries, one of which is always on call.
• Is affiliated with Holy Cross, a super legitimate hospital not too far from us.
• Referred us to classes at Holy Cross, some of which I hope we sign up for tonight (especially the one titled, "AHHH... It's a Baby!", as it sounds fantastic)

Laura:

• Seems to have gone over the 20 lb. weight gain by a bit... not bad considering 6+ pounds of that is pure baby.
• All in all seems to be as healthy as a horse (where did this phrase come from? I can't imagine horses are always healthy). The sonogram specialist and doctor just love my cervix right now. Weird. Explaining cervixes and their various measurements to your husband is also weird. Knowing that there's little chance of prescribed bed rest, though, is awesome.
• Is going to 2 week intervals for appointments now.
• Understands the timeline a bit better now... if babies were cookies and weeks were minutes, twins need to bake for 35 to 38 instead of the 37 to 40 for singletons. 39 or 40 are just a no go. If we were to schedule a C-section, it might be as early as 34 or 35. I'm just hoping I can get through the end of March at work...

Micah and Phineas:

• Have not understood what I said about weight gain, sleep cycles, and movement so far. They're still kicking my organs, ugh.
• Weigh in at over 3 pounds each, are right on track with each other and where they should be.
• Boy A (we'll see which one looks more like a Micah and visa versa when they come out) is DONE with this whole belly life, it seems. He's head down waaaayyyyy down at the bottom.
• Boy B is still just chilln' like a villain, head up and generally enjoying himself. 
• This means natural birth is probably a decent option... although if Boy B doesn't shift himself around there could be some C-section discussion.
