Ok...it has been a while. Sorry about that!

Things are good. I am 21 weeks tomorrow. I go for doctor appts. every two weeks, which is a little daunting but do-able.

Here are the updates and stats. Starting at 16 weeks doc started to check my cervix, with a lovely transvaginal u/s(if you have had one you know how much fun this is). My cervix has to be above 2 cm to be good and long with no concern for pre-term labor....I have been measuring consistently at about 5. Yayy for the cervix of steel! This really is a good thing. I do not know what we do if I had to go on bedrest with Josey here at home with me. It is still always a possibility but with the concerns of a incompetent cervix quickly going away I am feeling more confident.

My blood pressure is still consistently low, 96 over 63 this last time. This is also good as it means I am out the running for pre-eclamsia/PIH at this point in time. There have been no concerns with urine obviously since I give on every time....and my weight is great...I have only gained 11 pounds so far! Yayy for me!

Ok....the fun stuff...babies! I went for my 20 week anatomical scan on Friday. This is the one where they measure everything and make sure that babies are growing on track and matching gestational age etc. All looked good. We have two bouncing beautiful babies in there. They were all over the place. It was so much fun to watch their little arms waving around and feet kicking. The bladder shots they kept taking were not fun however BUT I can deal with that. We are calling the babies Okey(twin A) and Dokey(twin B), this was Josey's idea....well Brad helped too. SO....Okey weighs 13 ounces right now, estimate of course, and had a heart rate of 150. Dokey was 12 ounces and had a heartrate of 143. I find it interesting that their heartrates are starting to get closer...they have been as different as 150 and 136 you will see in past blog entries so....it will be interesting to watch that change. We did not find out the sexes. For those of you who really really want us to....sorry. They were head down and feet up too....we could have but we held out and I am glad that we will be surprised honestly. I think that we have one of each in there, but Brad thinks that there are two girls in there. Honestly whatever is fine....two boys scares me BUT I know others who have done it so....we will figure it out. It think that was it with the babies.

Here are some current pics of my big ol' belly and baby pics too. Oh that was the other thing....I was at the end of my 20th week when I went in and I am measuring 27 weeks. This is not unusual...just surprising to hear. I feel as big as I was with Josey when I was 6 months along....and apparently I am that and then some. Oh well...I love my pregnant belly!

Love to all...more later!
