Today we met Dr. Lydia Wright. She is a specilaist for high risk pregnancies. Unfortunately, I am considered high risk but fortunately, Dr. Wright is fantastic! We were able to see the babies on a huge flat screen TV via ultrasound. We could barely give each other any looks because we could not take our eyes off of the screen. Those sweet little angels were so wiggly! Dr. Wright was quite informative. She informed of of the many risks including TTTS (twin to twin transfer syndrome) and pre-term labor. After she gave us the heart-tugging details we quickly switched to more positive conversation. We have SO many great things going for us and me carrying these babies. I (Steph) have faith in GOD, have a very long torso, am tall, in good health, young, and have tremendous support everyway I turn. We do need to be realistic and follow all the rules. One rule I have no problem following is eating around 3,000 calories every day. WHOA! I was shocked when she told me to do this! I need to be able to gain around 45-50 pounds during the 1st & 2nd trimester. It is going to be difficult for me to eat during the 3rd trimester so I've got to store some energy now to be used later. I feel like a bear. Dr. Wright thinks I can carry the babies to 36 weeks which is fantastic! If you are reading this, please take a moment to say a prayer or positive thought regarding our babies. We can do this!
