Update

I had a few follow up doctors appointments today and everything went fine. I saw my endocrinologist this morning and I've gained a total of 20 lbs since becoming pregnant. I guess that's not too bad for being 23 weeks with twins? She told me I'm on target so hopefully she wasn't just trying to make me feel good. We'll see what my thyroid levels come back as but so far, I'm remaining regulated and we haven't had to adjust my dosage. My blood pressure was also normal at 120/74.

I saw my OB's office later in the morning and it was fairly uneventful, as I expected. Since I'm also seeing a perinatalogist, they don't do much these days except check my urine and the babies' heartbeats.

I also got to schedule my diabetes screening test - it's August 21st - right before we leave for vacation. I'm glad they were able to squeeze me in before I leave.

Both my endocrinologist and OB didn't think there would be an issue with going of town for vacation. I was worried because we had already committed to the house and paid. My OB said I should be OK to continue normal activity until I'm about 30 weeks (unless something happens in the meantime). She did suggest that I get a copy of my records before we leave "just in case".

I see my peri next week and they'll check my cervix and I assume they'll do another u/s.

The babies are getting more and more active each day. Todd saw them move on the outside the other night and I think he was both amazed and creeped out. It's still so weird to think there are TWO babies in there.

This weekend will be fairly busy as it's our "work on the nursery" weekend. Saturday, we're cleaning everything out of the guest room so we can paint on Sunday. Once the room is painted, we can work on putting the cribs together and then.... decorating! The part I'm most looking forward to.
