This past week, we took some maternity pictures. I called up my friend and old roommate Amanda to see if she would be willing to get some good shoots of us and of course she was thrilled. I was happy to have someone who is a good friend be able to take pictures of us. Here's a little sampling of the pictures that we took in Downtown Carrollton. I'm not going to show the rest because they will be on display at my shower which is coming up in 3 short weeks. ;)
This week was my visit to the specialist on Wednesday. I was a little nervous as to what they would say because this was my first visit after having been on the gestational diabetes diet. I was afraid that my weight gain and especially the babies weight gain wouldn't be enough. I'm not sure why I was even concerned because it was not a problem at all. I gained 6 pounds in 3 weeks (right where they want me to be for total weight gain). Then they did all the measurements of the babies and well... apparently I grow big babies. They are both weighing in at 1 lb 6 oz, a total baby weight of 2lb 12oz is what I am carrying. I think that this weight has a lot to do with the fact that I have gestational diabetes. The doctor said that she figures that their weight will start to taper off... this time they were in the 80-90 % for their gestational age, hopefully the next visit they will be more like 75 and then 68 and then average out. That's what we're hoping for anyway. I'm glad to know that they are strong and healthy though. It's a good feeling!

Another interesting thing that I found out this week is that they have sorta shifted in the womb. Now one head is in my diaphragm and the other is well down there. So it doesn't matter how I bend there is a head at both ends. Not the most comfortable, but I guess they are doing what they have to to give themselves some room.
Now here are their 22 weeks pictures. Maybe next week I'll reveal the names that we have picked out to the blog world. Most people know already, I've just been waiting to reveal to the internet. ;-)
