The boys are all still transverse. Babies A and B have flipped since our last scan and have their heads on the left, but Baby C still has his head on the right.

Symptoms: The biggest issue is an upset tummy that will not get better no matter how many days I eat bland food, special smoothies, I make or charcoal I take. Other than that, I have just really had to cut back. I thought it would be hard to do less, but as it turns out there is no way I can physically keep the pace I used to and things have just naturally slowed themselves down.
Activities: We have had so many activities in the past two weeks that they all require their own special posts - three baby showers, including weekends with family/friends in Birmingham and Greenville, and a maternity photo shoot.
This week, in addition to the OB check-up, we also went on a hospital tour. It was exciting to see and hear what to expect. It was also nice because a couple from my multiples group was there (she is expecting twin boys, so Jay and her husband joked that we had an entire basketball team between our two pregnancies). Also, this week I had a consult with my nutritionist. She said that carrying transverse was a good because it kept pressure off my cervix (which can lead to pre-term labor). She also said that carrying transverse was bad, especially for someone who is short-waisted like me because I was going to be extra uncomfortable (I know that is bad, but it also felt a little like validation, because I have been extraordinarily uncomfortable). Anything for the boys!
