24 week update!!!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long between posts! I've been on bed rest and it's very hard to update the blog when I can only type one handed! I'm sitting up so I can type a lot faster today and maybe get caught up!!

First - had my 24 week checkup yesterday and the babies are doing great! Both growing right on track! I also had my gestational diabetes check and I passed, so that was good news! I am very anemic though so I have to take iron supplements and up my iron intake twice a day. Yuck. I'll take that over diabetes though. I am still on bedrest and taking medication to try and keep the contractions to a minimum. I am averaging about 2-3 an hour which is ok. We hit the viability mark, so I'm thrilled! Next goal is to make 28 weeks!!!

We had our first baby shower this past Sunday with Kiko's family and some of my friends. I don't have any pictures to post but we had a really great time and enjoyed seeing everyone!! We also got some GREAT gifts for our little girls which we desperately needed so it is all very much appreciated!!! I am not able to write out thank-you notes just yet so please be patient with me on getting those out. We have our second and final baby shower this Saturday with all of our "pool hall" friends! I can't wait!!

Well, I'm back to bed rest and will try to post some pictures soon. Stay tuned!!

It's great to hear from you Kristen, and I'm glad to hear the babies are doing well. It must be hard being on bedrest.
