Hello All... I know I know... i really need to update more. But I get so busy. But we did have a DR appointment yesterday so I thought I would post about that.
I am 15 1/2 weeks now and we got to do a ultrasound. It was just the little one they have in the Dr office so no real measurements to note other then they said they both look great. The first one we looked at we seen the face and "it" was moving it's little mouth... so cute and life like! They didn't seem to be as active as the past few times we have seen them but they were both moving around. She said it is a little early to feel them still but i may be starting to... and i think i might have felt a few little things a couple times? I ask when we would be able to find out the gender but she said probably at our next appointment. I have my next appointment on Monday May 24th an will be 18 weeks at that point. We will do a higher level ultrasound at that appointment to check them out head to toe. Hopefully they will cooperate and not be to shy to show us what they are. If they don't cooperate I will have another higher level ultrasound 3 weeks later so we will have a second chance.
As for me I am doing good also. She said the top of my uterus is about belly button high..even though i feel like it is already up to my chest. I feel short of breath easily and my upper abdomen seems to be growing and getting as hard as my lower. But I guess when the uterus grows up it pushes everything out of it's way. She also mentioned that if i was only carrying one baby i would be equivalent to about 20 weeks... so that gives me an indication of how big i will really get... WAY BIG! The big question I had for them was how much weigh I have gained... but i was shocked to find out i actually lost .2 lbs since last appointment and am only up 1.5 lbs from the first appointment... i can handle that since I know that patter will NOT continue much longer. I told her my appetite was not a problem at all and blamed the slight decrease in weight on the nurse last time. She made me weigh in before she let me go to the bathroom!
My blood pressure was really good... i think it was like 117/75 ish? I was happy with that since I have been eating the crap out of roman noodles... don't look at the label on those things...especially the sodium! But she said there is not reason for me to limit my sodium or be concerned with how much i take in since my blood pressure is fine.
The only other big question I had for her was the pain i have been experiencing in my hips. Especially in the evenings or when i get out of bed. It is like my hip joins just shoot pain. I figured it is because they are spreading or something or just the weight of the babies and i was correct. She said unfortunately there isn't much to do about it and it probably won't get any better! GREAT! She did recommend a support belt so I am hoping to find me one of those... just to help support some of the weight of my belly when it starts sticking out more.
Well I guess that is about it for the dr appointment. Kyler has been doing really good. He is so funny. I laugh at him every day. The other day he had my cell phone and was playing with it. I told him to bring it to me and he said..."I'm checking my email mom!" He don't even know what email is! I am also very impressed and proud of his learning. He has a little computer with some alphabet and letter games on it. There one game he likes to play all the time will say..can you find the letter B. then it will show a B up on the little screen. I was floored the other night when he could find almost all of the letters. And if he messed up i can see why he picked the letter he did... like it ask for L and he picked J. They look alike just backwards? Then it ask for a K and he picked an X. Didn't realize how similar those letters really are! SO he is doing very good with that. He also still says we are having one boy and one girl so i am anxious to see if he is right since he predicted twins!
Going to Kirksville this weekend. Going in with some of my aunts to have a HUGH garage sale. I have most all my stuff priced, boxed and ready... just got to see how much of it i can cram in my van tonight! I hope to get rid of most of it so we have more room for double the baby stuff. I also hope to get rid of most of it so I make a little $$. I told Sheldon what I make is going into our dishwasher fund!! That is one thing Mommy needs before the babies come!
Well better get off here and get some stuff done... until next time...TATA!
