Today was my 30 week check up with the OB doctor. Everyone is doing great, cruising along without any problems. The babies are still moving and kicking. Their heart rates are 154 (baby A) and 158 (baby B). The size of my uterus is 35cm, which means that if I were carrying one baby, I would be the size of a woman who is 35 weeks pregnant.
I have another appointment in two weeks with an ultrasound. Dr. O'Brien also mentioned getting a stress test for the babies at either 34 or 36 weeks (I can't remember which) as routine for twins. It involves going to the Labor and Delivery floor at the hospital and hooking the babies up to a heart monitor for a while to watch them.
Also, my labs were fine. My glucose was normal (no gestational diabetes!), but my iron was slightly low at 10. My iron usually runs low, 11.5-12, and he said it's not too bad, but I should start to take an iron supplement daily. It's already on the shopping list.
My baby shower is this weekend, too. Patti was kind enough to host one for me. It's a joint shower with me and Julie, with most of the guests being family members. I'm also having another shower on Tuesday night at the Macaroni Grill in Annapolis with the people from work. That should be fun! Nothing like a little wine to end the work day!

Excuse me! A little wine for whom? Surely not you!
NO WINE FOR YOU!
