Update from the Specialist

Okay, where do I start. I went to see the specialist today and I was very excited to get another ultrasound. The babies look great, although the pictures are not good. Baby A gained 8 oz in 3 weeks and is now weighing 2lb 1oz. Baby B gained 1lb 1oz and is now weighing in at 2lb 11oz. After the ultrasound, I had to have a consultation. They made me wait over an hour to speak with the specialist. She said the heart rates were good-A-120 and B-140 and that my blood pressure was very good.

She did say that she was a little concerned about baby A's abdimen and the rate it was growing. Something like it was not growing as much with the rest of the body. I don't know really what she meant. You know you always think of the questions to ask afterwards. She is going to monitor me every two weeks, so my next appointment is June 3rd. Everything can catch up. She asked me what I was doing for the summer and I told her I had 3 days of meetings and that was it, so she said then if I have to put you on bed rest it won't be bad. BED REST- what? I really don't want to have to be on bed rest. She told me to start out these two weeks with more rest and putting my feet up. I did ask her if laying at the pool was considered bed rest and she said as long as my feet were up. I guess I can deal with that, hey I am getting a tan.
