Today I had my 25 week appointment with an ultrasound. As usual, it was great seeing the babies and the technician still feels very strongly that there is a boy and a girl. Our little princess, Olivia, does not want to make things easy on us and open her legs so we can see... Peyton, however, is not shy at all and was putting on a show today.
After the ultrasound we met with the Doctor and she went over all the measurements of the babies and told us that Olivia is about 1 lb 3 oz in weight and that Peyton is about 1 lb 8 oz. She was concerned with Olivia's growth and decided that she wants me to come in every week for an ultrasound so that we can monitor her and make sure everything is ok. The Doc was also concerned with the fact that I did not gain any weight since my last visit (2 weeks ago) and that I have only gained 8 lbs total. She wants me to eat more and gain more weight. Hopefully this will help Olivia and we can quit the weekly ultrasounds. I am supposed to eat more protein and veggies but when someone tells you that you need to gain weight it is kind of funny. We spend our whole life trying not to gain weight and now I am actually having trouble gaining. My brother and sister-in-law are going to share with me the specific diet that she had to use when she was pregnant with Owen... I think it will help us out.
We got a ton of pictures this time and they are almost all Peyton - Olivia was facing my lower back and we never got to see her face. Last time all the pictures wer of Olivia because Peyton was hiding his face. I guess they are taking turns!
I will keep you posted on my next appointment - next week!
