February

My appointment went well.  I finally gained some weight this time around. I have only gained a few pounds so far because they are using a lot of my reserves.  I am measuring 26 weeks at this point.  I really thought I would have been bigger by this point, but the doctor says not to worry, the babies are growing well and he is not concerned.  The babies are about 8 ounces each and they are around 8-9 inches long.  We confirmed the identity of all babies.  Baby A is indeed a girl, Baby B is a boy and Baby C is a boy as well.  We are very excited and now we can begin to look at names!  Everyone keeps asking if I can feel the babies yet.  I keep telling everyone the same thing, I can't feel them yet.  The doctor said that by next time I should be able to feel them without a problem.

I am still doing great.  The babies are doing well too.  Babies A&B are .6 lbs and Baby C is .7 pounds.  I call him the piggie!  I still can't feel them yet.  The doctor said not to worry, with three they just could be hard to pinpoint one specific movement.  I have gained a few extra pounds this time.  They did not measure my fundal height this time, but I know I have grown, because my transitional pants aren't fitting well anymore. My blood pressure (132/72) was a bit elevated for me, but it is still well within normal ranges.  My next appointment is on March 4th.  Yeah I made it another month!
