Latest dr appt...

So I had my first appt this morning with a dr at the Naval Hospital, and it went well from what I can tell. Rush was able to come with me, which was nice since he won't be able to make many with his schedule. I pretty much caught the dr up with what is going on so far in the pregnancy, asked about 100 questions, and he did an ultrasound to measure the heartbeats.

He said the babies are still in a good range, Baby A was at 130 bpm and Baby B was at 150 bpm. He said the normal range is 120-180 bpm. He also agreed that there was only one placenta, and said that the membrane between the babies was still "loose & flowy" which is good because it means there isn't one baby with not enough or too much fluid in the sac.

So it looks like we will be able to come home to Texas for Thanksgiving (if we have our way we'd like to come for about 11 days), but it is highly unlikely that Christmas will be an option. I'm not too sure how I feel about this yet, I know it's for the babies health, but it'll also be our first Christmas not in Texas surrounded by family. I think once the holidays get closer, it'll hit me harder and Rush will have to deal with me going overboard with decorating for Christmas more than usual. Mom has mentioned that they might try to come up and spend Christmas with us, no pressure Mom, but I would be forever grateful. I also wanted to put it out there that anyone else that wants to is more than welcome to come visit over the holidays. The more the merrier, and we understand if you can't because of normal traditions taking place back home. We're planning on me quitting work before Thanksgiving so that we can maybe spend even more time at home for Thanksgiving to be with family and maybe a baby shower (or two.) ;) Seeing as it seems like the only time I'll be making it to Texas...

OH also, Robin, the dr said that the 10K shouldn't be a problem. Pretty much its up to how I am feeling and if I think I am ready. So I have a few weeks to make up my mind and figure out if I am going to transfer my entry to Will Baskin (Rush's cousin) or if I'm going to go for it. Of course the dr said that my specialist dr will definitely discourage it, so we'll just have to see.

And not to brag, well yeah I want to brag, I came home yesterday from work to a tbone dinner on the table! Rush surprised me with a very good steak and salad, and I just wanted to brag about how sweet he's been since the pregnancy and my weird food-mood swings. He's really been very understanding and a big help around the house. The house would be a wreck without him! I love you babe! :)
