This weekend was spent at the cabin with all of my in-laws and their children. It was fun to get to see them all, spend time together, play outside with the kids, and even take a family picture!
I came home early on Sunday to get laundry done, school work done, and just to relax!
Today we had a doctor's appointment with the perinatologist and our OBGYN. Well....each of the twins have each gained about a pound in 5 weeks. They now weigh 1 pound 5 ounces and 1 pound 6 ounces. This puts them still in/above the 90th percentile! But with that came a little concern. They have too much fluid right now. This means their placentas are working overtime. There is a concern of a placenta rupture and also pre-term labor. Due to this, I will now be going every week to see the perinatologist and every 2 weeks to see the OBGYN for at least this month. They will monitor my cervix, the babies, and the fluid. They also mentioned me possibly having gestational diabetes due to the babies being large and this sometimes causes the extra fluid. But it is a little early to test. They said after a few weeks of these weekly checks, if nothing has changed for the better or things get worse, they will test me for it early. But otherwise everything looked good! The babies are moving and grooving away in there! Our little boy is high up in my ribs and our little girl has dropped down and is quite low. My OBGYN pulled out the tape measure again and he shook his head and said "nevermind" and didn't even tell me how far ahead I am measuring! Last time it was 8 weeks ahead so I am guessing at least that if not more since he wouldn't tell me!
I was starting to feel movements from the outside for the first time this weekend. It happened again today at the doctor's office and I tried to get Paul to feel it. Although I felt it twice with his hand there, he wasn't able to. I am hoping soon he will get to enjoy the amazing kicks/hits! :)
Here is my bump picture at 22 weeks 1 day:
