Baby Update

I had another appointment today. The doctor indicated that everything seems to be going well. My blood pressure is low and since I am not complaining of any abnormal symptoms that the babies and I are healthy. The babies were moving around alot, so it took some time for the doctor to calculate the heartbeats. One baby was at 150, and the other was in the 140 range. When I first went in, they weigh you. I have only gained 5 pounds since the beginning of this pregnancy. I am trying really hard to eat all the time, but its difficult. The doctor didn't say anything so I guess its not that big of a deal, but when I looked online the average weight gain for how far along I am is about 8 to 10, and thats for one baby mothers. I know that I will probably continue to gain weight as the pregnancy continues along, but I don't want to feel as if I am starving my poor little ones. I even drink ensure to make sure they are getting the vitamins and nutrients they need. I guess I will just have to step it up a notch. Maybe I will start eating more ice cream. :)
Anyway, everyone is growing great and doing well. I am excited though becuase at my next appointment we get to see what the gender of the babies are. Scott and Scott's mom Kathleen are going to be there, so it will be exciting for everyone. The appointment date is March 10th. So Dad you better be praying hard for those girls if you want them before then. LOL. Anyway, I hope everyone's weeks are going well and everyone is doing great. Scott and I love you all and thank you for your support.

Glad to hear you and the babies are doing well. If I were you, I would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to eat more ice cream with absolutely no guilt. Heeheehee! OK, so I like ice cream. :) Can't wait to find out what you are having!
