Doctor update!

So, we had our birthing class/OB appointment today. We didn't have an ultra sound but she did listen to the heartbeats and measure my tummy. The heartbeats were right on, and I measured 28 centimeters. Usually you measure as many centimeters as you are weeks pregnant, but since I have twins I measure bigger than 'normal'. I've never had my tummy measured before so that was cool. Also, I've only gained 4 lbs in the last month which is good. I've gained about 24 lbs so far. She said I would probably gain about 40. So I am doing well. I read that a good rule of thumb is 10 lbs for the first 20 weeks, and then a pound for every week after that. So 26 weeks = 26 pounds. I'm at 24 lbs so I am doing well. In two weeks I have an ultra sound with Dr. Plimpton, and this week I have a blood test for gestational diabetes. I am somewhat nervous about that though, I just don't want to have diabetes :-( I'll know the results about a week after I take the blood test. So that is the update. Things are looking good good good.


One more little tidbit. I went to Chipotle after our class to get some tacos. (Yummm). The girl behind the counter says to me "Wow, you look you are about to pop!" I laughed a little bit and said "You think so huh?, I'm due in February haha" she looked kind of like.."oh why did I say that?" Then Chris told her we were expecting twins. haha.

Pics to come.
