Meeting Dr. Stokes/Beginning of Week 17
We had a doctor's appointment yesterday where we met Dr. Stokes. He is the doctor in the practice who handles high risk pregnancy so we will be seeing him exclusively from here on out. So far I really like him, he is patient and answers all our questions, and seems very knowledgeable. Unfortunately my most recent lab work showed some slight hypothyroidism so I had to start taking some thyroid medication today, but on the up side he said this should give me more energy and lower certain risks for the babes. After a lot searching he was only able to find one heartbeat on the doppler, but said this is common as twins are so close together. The heartbeat was 158 beats/min. We have an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday so we will get to see them both in just a few days and maybe even find out the sex!

Ana and I were just saying that we can't wait to find out what you're having! Take care of yourself and (maybe??) even eat some meat if you find yourself craving it (you still don't eat it, right?) When I was pg with my babes, I actually ate hot dogs and hamburgers. One day, I had a hamburger for lunch and diner! Yikes! No big deal if you're a meat eater, but I wasn't. Am now though....
I love this picture! You look so beautiful.
