Prenatal Appointment

After being released from Dr. J on July 1st, I had my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Monterubio! I'm excited to be going back to his office and to finally be one of the pregnant women sitting in the waiting room! Dr. Monterubio was excited to see me again! The nurse took my weight and measurements. Dr. Monterubio didn't do an ultrasound since Dr. J already did one a week ago, but he did use his Doppler machine to listen to the heartbeats. He was like a kid in a candy store listening to the heartbeat. He really loves his job!! After my exam I went into Dr. Monterubio's office and talked with him about everything from my next appointment to labor! I was glad to hear that his goal is to have a normal birth instead of a C-section. I thought I would automatically be signed up for one of those with twins. The goal is for me to make it to 36 weeks, 37 weeks being the most ideal. Ummm...that's four weeks early!!!! So that means from this day I have 6 months left!?? This is going to fly by!!! So my official due date is February 8, 2014. But if I make it to 36 weeks then the due date will be January 11, 2014! How exciting!! I can't believe it! I go back to see Dr. Monterubio on July 22! We will be doing blood work and going over weaning me off of my progesterone and estrogen patch. Dr. Monterubio wants me completely off of my medicine by 14 weeks. So we will start weaning at 12. I'm almost through my first trimester! I can't believe it! I'm so thankful for this journey and wonderful experience of being pregnant with two little miracles!



So in hearing my uterus will rapidly grow this week...we headed to the mall to buy some maternity clothes! Man oh man Destination Maternity has a lot of cute clothes that don't look frumpy!! I can't wait to wear all of my new clothes!
