On Monday, our babies rocked their first biophysical profile. The biophysical profile consists of the ultrasound tech looking at each baby to evaluate his/her heart rate, activity level, breathing movements and muscle tone. Amniotic fluid levels are also measured. The ultrasound tech awards a certain number of points based on the scan, and, although I am a bit unclear about the scoring system, I do know that our babies each earned an eight. We have been assured that this is a positive result, so we're very proud and hoping our appointment next week goes just as well!
In other news, Cher did a little flip in the last week and is now head down. We don't know if she got sick of her brother kicking her in the head, or if she heard our OB talking about how unlikely it was that she would be able to turn and decided to prove her wrong. Either way, she's pretty impressive! She may still be settling in after her big move because she was not in the mood to entertain visitors this week. She had both hands in front of her face for the entire ultrasound, so there are no new pictures of her this week. However, we were able to get a few good pictures of Sonny!
