Had my follow-up appointment with the cardiologist yesterday afternoon. They started with an ultrasound of my heart followed by a consultation. After waiting for what felt like forever, I the results came through and it's good news! I have a normal, functioning heart! Thank goodness!  The ultrasound technician was extremely nice and said that she see's a lot of moms of multiples being tested for heart trouble. So it was a pretty routine occurrence. However, I know having spells like that cannot be normal.  The results of my heart monitoring showed several big spikes in my heart rate, which explains why I get out of breath quite often. The doctor said it was that of a person running. I assured him that I definitely wasn't running and that I tried to relax while wearing the monitor. He told me that the babies are just taking so much from me and that my best bet is to take it easy whenever possible. The spells are due to low blood pressure and I am to...

We got to take another peek at our girls yesterday! They have grown and changed so much in just a few weeks! We had to have a repeat anatomy ultrasound, because they were unable to see the lips and noses last time around. This time, they were able to view extra details, all of the organs and the cutest little faces and poses! Baby A, showed her face over and over, almost like she was posing for the camera. It was the clearest picture we've seen yet! She has facial features that remind me of Rhylan; same lips, same nose, same chin. Baby B was a little more difficult to see, but of course she is going to be so stinking cute!  Baby A weighs 1 lb 13 oz and Baby B weighs 1 lb 3 oz. So there is quite a difference between the two! They are over a foot long each as well. So I'm already carrying 3 lbs of babies! Crazy! Also, I always talk about Baby B as being my mover. Well her heart rate was 161 compared to Baby A at 138! Definitely shows who is the more active one! It's obvious...

Friday started out as a rough day. I had a bizarre spell at work and had to leave. I started to feel incredibly weak. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but at the same time, my head felt like it wasn't receiving any oxygen. Something was definitely not right. I put my head down and the inner ear buzzing began. I broke into a huge sweat, my face becoming drenched. I immediately told Michael to come and get me, because I knew that if I passed out at my desk, no one would know from where I sit.  Turns out my blood pressure dropped dramatically causing me to feel like this. Apparently this experience is common with twins. It was definitely scary, but at the same time, I could feel my girls moving, so I knew they were okay. With some rest, I felt much better. I hope I do not feel like that again. I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband taking care of me.  Saturday we had a yard sale  where I sold almost all of Rhylan's clothes from newborn to 3T! We made a ...
