Another pregnancy update...

I had an appointment with my ob-gyn on post. She said that the twins look great. Our little boy (baby A) is butt down (it feels like his head is in my rib cage and he is using my lungs as a pillow). he is always flipping around, its kinda weird to watch, a couple times a days we'll see this round head/butt move from the top to the bottom (if you have ever seen the movie Aliens where one of the actors has an alien pop out of their abdomen it kinda reminds me of that). I'm hoping that he keeps turning and that closer to my due date he stays head down. My doctor said that Little Man is taking up most of the room in there.
Our little girl on the other hand is head down, her head is in my pelvis and it looks like it is there to stay. She does kick me in the ribs (she did during the ultrasound today). And it feels like every time her brother flips she hits him because it bothers her (and I feel it happen its not all that comfortable for me). So with her head where it is is causing pressure so I have started to dilate. I'm still high but dilated to a 1. My doctor doesn't seem to concerned about it (yet) but wants to keep an eye on it. I see the specialist next Tuesday and I'll see what she says. I'm kinda concerned but since I'm not having contractions I staying positive that everything is alright.
I don't know what this means for physical therapy because that has been helping with the pain in my lower back and hips. So I'll just have to talk to my doctors and see what they say.
I guess I need to just take it easy. I was really starting to get my energy back and was able to do a lot more. I just started cooking and taking walks again. I guess now I need to cut back. Oh well. Its time to play the waiting game again to see if I stop dilating. Please keep us in your prayers.
