Week 16

We had a great appointment earlier this week.  Both babies were active and moving all about with heart rates of 150 (A) and 156 (B).  My youngest, five year old Isabelle, joined us and seeing the babies on u/s was a neat experience for her - being the "baby" of the family she'd never been to one before.   At this visit we also did the first of several cervical length checks - the OB wants to ensure that it stays long and closed and keeps babies where they need to be.  The ideal measurement is 3-4cm range and we are looking very good with a cervical length of 5.08cm.  Yay!  Everything else looks good too, BP was fine, urine ok.  I was doing great with very little weight gain but it's creeping up on me now ...

I had to take an early glucose tolerance screen, our OB does it twice with multiples patients.  They called me with the results and all was well.  I wasn't nervous about this one but the next one I have reservations about seeing as I failed the one hour in my last two pregnancies and had take the 3 hour - which thankfully I passed both times.  I'm praying I can avoid a repeat of that this time around, we shall see.

These lil ones are making their presence known.  My belly is filing out and K&S were excited to see the nice round bump that's emerging.  I started feeling ever so slight movements a couple of weeks back but now they are undeniable and all throughout the day.  I'm feeling great - no complaints. I'm enjoying it while I can because I know eventually I will have to slow down and I won't be so comfortable.  I've already planned out the majority of our summer with the mindset if we don't get it in by mid July, it's probably not happening!!

Baby A and Baby B say hello!!
