Swimming = Weight Loss

So the Dr from MFM told me to swim to get the fluid out of my body...I gotta say it worked! I have lost 12 lbs since Saturday and now have ankles and feet again. My legs even look skinnier! :) yay! I went yesterday for bloodwork and had to turn in another 24 hour urine collection...which is lots of fun collecting it. The bloodwork was the easiest I have ever had!

Tomorrow I go to MFM for another checkup...which means I hope my BP stays down because last time I went to them, I was in the hospital. I think everything will be ok since I am on meds now though.

That is it for now :)
Peace.

Baby Update


They are doing well. The tech was very excited about the amount of hair they have...I guess Ava has a lot! :) Heartbeats are good too.
Ava is 3lbs 11oz and 16.4 inches 144 heartbeat
Ireland is 3lbs 4oz and 15.6 inches 154 heartbeat



The docs are very happy! :) I love going and not having them freak me out! Look at the pout on Ireland! Couldn't get a good shot of Ava...her head wasn't facing the right way!! ughh
