22 Week Dr Appt.

Yesterday was our Dr appt and to be honest, I was a little nervous.  I was nervous that the Dr wasn't going to be happy with my weight gain, since I have only gained 11 lbs.  Thankfully he didn't mention anything about it, so I guess I'm doing ok.  My blood pressure is good and the main thing we prayed for was a long, strong cervix (a shortening cervix can indicate preterm labor).  The Dr saw mine and said it was like a mile long...lol!  Woohoo! Praise God, we will continue to pray that it stays that way until the perfect time for delivery.

The Dr had a look at the babies and all is well.  Our baby girl was curled up on the bottom and one of the boys looked like he was sitting on a recliner.  It's a pretty fast ultrasound, as they mainly check to see the heart beats and my cervix.  We go in for our 1hr and 1/2 growth ultrasound on April 29th, this is where they measure everything to make sure their growth is on track.

The past couple of days I haven't been feeling so well.  I feel like I'm back in the 1st trimester with morning sickness and it's no fun!  I asked the Dr how could this happen since the medication I've been taking has been working great.  They say it could be from something I ate or a surge in hormones.  I'm guessing it's a surge because my hips have been aching quite a bit and I'm guessing they are stretching to make room for the growing babies.

Yesterday evening as I was relaxing on the recliner, I decided to look at my bare belly and see if I could see any movement.  I've read that now is the time you could see it and to my surprise, I did!  At first glance, my belly looked a little lopsided, then it evened out.  Then I felt a little thump, the skin on my belly quickly popped out and went back to normal. The sad thing is, no one is ever around when this cool stuff happens.  So I grabbed my phone and started to record my belly to see if I could catch it to show Lawrence.  Sure enough, I caught one little thump.
