Week 23 - Still on bed rest!

Hello everyone!

We are now in Week 23 and the twins are still doing good. We had an eventful weekend and most of Saturday night was spent at Labor & Delivery. Apparently the Braxton Hicks Contractions are becomming more painful and the round ligaments continue to stretch! But for now, we are all okay!

My next appointment is June 1. At that appointment the Dr. will determine if I will go back to work or spend the next 2-3 weeks on bed rest.

Sorry that I don't have any new pictures! Our next ultrasound is Friday, May 29th and I can't wait to see Thomas & Julia again.

Week 20 - almost Week 21

Good morning all!

So we are now almost through our 20th week of pregnancy! We had our "big" ultrasound yesterday and they determined that we do have a Thomas and a Julia on board! :) They are both doing well and both have strong heartbeats! We go back to the perinatal center in 4 weeks for another ultrasound. Both had heart rates in the high 140s during their ultrasounds, which is awesome!!

I am currently on bed rest and will remain here until the Dr. releases me. It may be as soon as 5-11-2009 that I get released or it may not be until the babies are here. Due to my many factors during pregnancy, heart problems, multiples, high blood pressure, etc. he thinks the safest thing for me and the babies is for mom to be resting right now.

So that is our update for now. (pictures below of Thomas (baby A) then Julia (baby B))
