24 week Check-Up

So, this past week we had our 24-week check up - 6 months! Holy Cow! The boys are looking really good! They each gained one pound to put them at 1lb 14 oz and 1lb 11 oz...I think those are the right numbers...we wrote them down but I don't feel like going into the other room to get the paper. :)


The doctor said everything is looking good! They are on track to be almost 7lbs each if they keep growing the way they have been! I can't even imagine carrying around 14 lbs worth of baby. haha :)


So the babies gain weight, so I gain weight. I gained 9 lbs in 4 weeks! The nurse started freaking out saying that was way too much and wanted me to go see a nutritionist. Spencer and I were sitting there like "what the heck!?" We were blown away with the weight gain. I really don't eat that much or overindulge in sweets - ask Spencer! The doctor wasn't as worried, but did say to watch what I eat more. Seriously. I have only gained 21 lbs so far and twin moms gain anywhere from 35 - 45 pounds. Plus, my past check ups I had only gained like 3 pounds here and 2 pounds there - so Spencer and I think I'm fine. Especially since 2 of the 9 pounds are baby. :) Also, the doctor measured my uterus/belly and I am measuring the size of a mom carrying one baby at 33 weeks. Yikes! So, another reason why I am not too concerned about the weight gain. :)


So lately I have been craving fruit-especially green grapes and apples. Oh, and also smoothies! I bought frozen fruit at the grocery to make smoothies at home. :) I can't put on my tennis shoes anymore by myself. Spencer has to help me, which is kinda fun. :) I also can't stand being in the car. It is so uncomfortable!


This week we also had our Newborn Class and Childbirth Class! We got a tour of the women's center at the hospital, learned all about labor & delivery, and everything else we need to know about babies. :) Saturday was a really long day but was worth it!
