Dr. Appointment....

Nikki has experienced less movement with the babies the last two days. She seen Dr. Perkins this morning and she seemed concerned that there was less movement than in the past. We didn't think much of it, as we have read that the babies can turn inward and you will experience less movement. So the biophysical profiling was moved from Friday to this afternoon. Biophysical profiling is a scaling system that rates the babies movements for fine and large motor skills and to see if they are moving their diaphragm's. It is only completed for high risk pregnancies. They all scored very well. We will be getting these profiles completed weekly from here on out. They will be watching them very closely for any changes that may occur. With a multiples pregnancy you never know when things will start to turn the other direction. It is very scary.

I have to brag about the medical professionals that have helped us throughout this process. Cascades Women's Health is phenomenal. Dr's Schutz and Perkins are in our opinions at the top of the heap. Nikki has friends that are pregnant now, and the care they are receiving doesn't seem as good as ours. The staff at Cascades are superb. I call the office and say my name and they know exactly who I am. Dr. Schroeder has been excellent. I don't know what Findlay and the surrounding areas will do when he retires. He is the only endocrinologist in town. It is a true blessing to have such great professionals on our case.
