Been missing for a long while!

Things got a little chaotic at around 29 weeks. I went into pre term labor on July 30, 2010. I haven't been able to update since then. I am now going to try to catch up since that date and post monthly pics of the girls. It has been almost a yr ago! They are now 3 days away from being 10 months old and are very healthy girls. More to come!!

26 week Appt.

Seen the Dr. today. I'm 26 wks 2 days today. We had to wait awhile he had to go deliver a baby. I was getting paid back for the four times I made the office be put on hold. HA! My blood pressure was great 98/74 I think it was. We heard the heartbeats this time. At first he only checked for one HB and I was like hey what about the other one! LOL He came back over and said your right theres two! Their HBs were 148 and 168. Measuring on time and the awful itchy rash I have is poison oak! What a shocker! I have not been outside at all so don't know how I got it. I go back in 2 weeks to check growth and cervical length. Can't wait to see them again I look forward to the sono appts.

Diabetic Center Appt.

Learned alot today. My 1 hr GTT was 140 and 140 is the cut off so thats why I am having to monitor my BG and what I eat. I was put on a 2100 calorie diet that has to include 15 gm of carbs, 8 gm of protien, and 70 grams of fat a day. Later on it may have to be increased due to me carring twins. I feel like I'm starving ALL the time. I have to check my urine for ketones thats something new to me. If they are moderate or high thats not good for the babies developing brain. I will go back in two weeks to see how things are going.

24 weeks

24 week appt.

I had my 24 week appt on June 15. They did another growth sono and everything is looking GREAT! At first the tech got them confused because they were both head down. They are both weighing about 1lb 3oz. My favorite part was when she first started one of them had a very big yawn.! You could actually see her open her mouth wide and close it back. It was so neat! Fluid around them was good at 13cm and my cervix had a small change to 4.3cm and Dr said it was not a worry at all. I did my GTT this time and got a great big sugar rush going on! I could tell that this time around something was going to be different and sure enough a few days later I get the YOU FAILED call. It was 140. I had nothing to eat or drink that morning either. I will be going every two weeks now because Dr said that it was getting close to time. My actual due date is Oct. 5 but he said in reality I would have a due date of Sept. 5. Twins tend to come a month early which is ok with me as long as they are ready and healthy.
