one way or another

Breech times two

Another scan to see how the babbies are doing at 27 weeks. So sweet, two little heads together, way above my belly button, one facing forward, the other facing my spine. That they are both breach now didn't surprise me much because I feel both of them kicking against my cervix.

The boy (leading twin on the left) should come head down for me to have a natural birth, but he still has several weeks to turn around. So they told me not to worry. My new antenatal class lady told me to go to the swimming pool and stand on my hands for a while. See if that helps?!

Both babies are exactly the same size and weight (a little over a kilo now). And I think my iron is starting to run low, I don't seem to get much done anymore these days and I'm just yawning all the time. Just trimming some shrubs back in the garden feels like climbing Mt Everest...

I had also had a gly-col (or what was it called?) test. You have to drink some kind of a lemonade, not to bad at first but tasting terrible at the end. Then wait for an hour (reading old gossip magazines about Brad and Jen en Ange and feeling very nauseaus). Then a blood and urine test.

So first you pee a bit in the pot, then a bit in the cup, and the rest in the toilet. How hard can that be? All done, I get up but my pants got stuck behind the cup holder. So my test cup ends up in the toilet and the holder flying through the room. Oops! I don't know if my sample got polluted with toilet water. I handed it in without telling. See if I get strange results back....

Puppy Charlie is doing great. Almost housetrained now and playing with my old dog half the day. Super! Lots of stars for Charlie and for Fred.
