So, as many of you know, I just received my Masters degree in Education, which was quite a task considering my condition! It was quite difficult to make it through this last semester with the twins, but I am so glad that I pushed on through. By far, this was the most difficult semester. Melissa and I had such a horrible professor (but that's an entirely different blog). Anyway, since I am progressing further along in this pregnancy, Dr. Castelli has asked that I come in twice a week now. Once a week I have an NST test and the other time, I have an ultrasound. An NST test occurs when I am hooked up to the fetal monitors (one for each baby) and also a monitor to watch for contractions. At this point, I think I can hook myself up to the monitors and read them correctly. I know how to fix it when the babies move and the monitor no longer reads the heart beats. I am also learning what all kinds of things mean (BPP for instance is an ultrasound that just tells the basic facts about the little ones). So for that reason, I think that after this pregnancy is over, I would like my medical degree in obstetrics please! Perhaps I would make more money and then I could afford to take more maternity leave!
P.S. Stephanie enjoy reading....I'm trying to do better.
