18 Weeks

Our boys are each the size of a sweet potato!  I guess that explains why I can feel them moving fairly frequently!  We were watching Timeless yesterday and I actually saw my left side kind of poke out (it happened really quick).  After that I had Seth rest his hands there and he felt that baby moving too.

I saw the boys yesterday morning and this afternoon.  It was a relief seeing them move around and have strong heartbeats after this weekend.  One was being so active today that he had a heart rate of 175 while the other was a little more calm and had his normal in the 150's.  I am still waiting on the results from my doctor, but it sounds like bed rest is off the table.  At Monday morning's appointment she said I can walk more, just don't plan on going for an hour.  

Yesterday was also exciting because I finally bought a maternity bra.  It was definitely needed as my other ones were digging into my skin (that probably explains the band move from 32 to 36)!  I ended up picking it up at Target after trying on about 10.  While there, I filled my Zofran prescription and was shocked at the difference in cost.  I got 30 pills for $19 vs the 12 for $35 at Walmart!
