Sisterly Love Already

At the appointment with the OB today, we found that Charlotte (Baby A) is head down while Ruby (Baby B) is still head up. This is not an indication of their final positions yet, but it was quite amusing to see Ruby's foot in Charlotte's face, kicking her randomly. The loving bond between them is apparent. Both of their heart rates are in the 140s. Sadly we did not get any photos to take home from the ultrasound today, but it was nice to see them moving about while we were there.
I am now officially measuring 26 weeks (for a singleton pregnancy) while actually being 21w4d. I have gained 27lbs so far, with 33lbs more to go to reach the goal of 60lbs gained total.

Below is a photo from a couple days ago when Bob & I took Siouxsie to the park:

Due to my ever-increasing size and the scoliosis I was diagnosed with at 13, I will be going to physical therapy for my back. The pain is getting harder and harder to deal with, so my OB wrote me a referral to a practice that specifically treats pregnant women. I hope to find some relief with their help. Our next appointment is with the high risk OB on June 24. We should definitely have ultrasound photos to share then.
