Our Kids

Well everyone keeps asking if I can feel them move yet and I always say no. Maybe I can but I don’t know what it is, I am feeling a lot of things but mostly it feels like things stretching. Thought I would give a quick update on the doctor’s appointment. The news is that everything is so normal I don’t have to go back for 4 weeks. We heard the heartbeats and one was fast (170bpm) and the other was slower (140bpm), but that is normal. We heard the heartbeats and everything seems fine.

I have gained about 4 pounds (we will be four months on Monday) and that seems okay too. The interesting part is that I can account for most of that weight, so here is the breakdown:

babies – 4 oz each or 8 oz
uterus – about 10 ounces
Amniotic fluid – about 7.5 ounces for each baby

So that accounts for a couple pounds and then there are some other things that are bigger and I know they weigh more but I will leave it at that. I feel great, my tummy is getting really hard. I can’t wear my normal pants anymore but that is due to the tummy, everything else is where it was (for now). I think I am getting less sleepy but as I say that I feel like I could use a nap:) I still get sick if the babies get mad at me for eating something they don’t like (like junk), not getting enough rest, or not eating enough.

All in all things are really good. Jason and I have some last home improvement projects that we will be starting soon so that everything is in order for later in the pregnancy. Talk to you soon.
