Doctor's Appointment

I had my 22 week doctor's appointment today.  It was pretty uneventful, which is a good thing.  My blood pressure was good: 108/60 and I gained 6 lbs. in the last four weeks, giving my total weight gain since BP (before pregnancy) at 2 lbs.  We saw both girls briefly on the ultrasound, mainly to check heartbeats, position, and amount of fluid.  Everything looked great!  They were both head-down and side-by-side.  Little cuties.  I didn't get any pictures this time, but I will be going back to Winnie Palmer in a couple weeks for another growth scan and I should get some then.  At this appointment, Dr. Wood measured my belly when I was laying down, going from top-to-bottom, measuring the size of my uterous.  The measurement tells them how far along you are....or how far along you are measuring.  I am 22.5 weeks today and my belly measured at 30 weeks!!  Whoa Babies!! Of course, that is one the single-baby scale.  So for two babies, I'm doing just fine.  And we still have a lot of growing to do!!

  1. So glad everything is looking good, and seriously, isn’t it funny how you think you can’t possibly stretch anymore, but somehow there’s room, haha!!
