19 Weeks in the Books!

Today marks 19 weeks and we are still doing well! Katie is starting to "show" and look/feel more pregnant after each passing day. Last week at our doctors appointment the doctor took some blood as part of Katie's check up. Monday morning the doctors office called and her iron level was very low. So, starting right away she is doubling up on her iron pills every other day. She HATES taking them, but she is being a real trooper and adhering to the doctors orders! Other than our iron issue, everything is going just fine.

This week we do not have a doctors appointment, we go again to our High Risk OBGYN next Friday morning. There is no doubt that Katie's body is going through a ton of changes right now and it is going to be interesting to see the babies again at 20 weeks. We'll do a full check up on the babies, with measurements, etc. According to the doctor, week 20 is the optimal week to check their hearts, make sure there are four chambers and no heart defects, etc. It's amazing that they can tell this kind of stuff when they are still so small! You know me, I'll be asking a TON of questions!! I am sure that he will want to get a look at her cervix again as well.

Its going to be another weekend of hanging out and laying low. Katie might try to get her hair cut and run a couple errands on Saturday and that is it. I think after this week she is going to need some rest, bigtime. The weeks of work seem to taking their toll a little bit now. Church on Sunday morning and our favorite Chinese resturant for lunch sounds real good right now!

We hope everyone is doing well! We continue to thank everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers as we move forward in our journey! All the best!

Love,

Todd and Katie
