OB appointment and reservations!

Yesterday was my 4 week OB appointment, following my level two ultrasound. It was a good appointment, we went over a lot of information. I've gained a total of 12 pounds since week 9. I don't know how much I gained between getting pregnant and week 9 because I never asked at IRH and I was incredibly bloated from the IVF for some time. I'm very happy with 12 pounds, it means I am sticking with the 4 pounds a month mark. :) The heartbeats are well and strong...of course "Jack" was easy as pie to locate and listen to and "Maggie" was squirming and hiding, probably playing peek a boo or something. I've started feeling movements pretty regularly during the day. It's interesting because most of the movements are "Jack". I think "Maggie" is further back and the movements aren't as easily felt yet. I'm sure as she grows and starts pushing her way to the front I'll start feeling her kicks and jabs! :) The doctor talked with us about C-sections, how long I'll go before they "take the babies out", breastfeeding, and all that other fun stuff. I have another appointment and ultrasound in 3 weeks, and then I'll start having ultrasounds every 4 weeks to monitor their growth and an OB appointment weekly to monitor myself and growth. So lots and lots of office visits! The doctor also gave us the "A-OK" for going away this weekend!!!

Last night after taking Wilma on a walk around the block we made our weekend "Babymoon" reservations. We're spending Friday and Saturday in Asheville, NC. Then we're spending Saturday and Sunday in Nashville, TN with a trip to Lynchburg, TN Saturday. Then we'll head home Monday. I'm so excited!!

Since we'll be away this weekend, the tiling is still being held off. Since the tiling is all that is left in the kitchen, we really aren't in any "rush" to get it on. We'd rather wait and do it right. I think we're going to get the nursery painted fairly soon, that way we can get the cribs and furniture set up and start getting an idea of what all we need to get that room in complete order. I'd like to have the nursery kind of put together (obviously not near complete) for my shower too. :)

Now if I could find a way to make time fly at work...the week would be perfect. We've been SO dead. I'm reading a new book "Tales from the Crib" which is the follow up to "Notes from the Underbelly", so at least I have something to help pass the time.
