Weekly Checkup - 10/21

We had our weekly checkup today in Minneapolis.  Both girls look really good!  Measurements are looking good with Baby A weighing 15 ounces and Baby B at 14 ounces.  B once again showed a bladder so that's great.

Sara needed to have some blood drawn as she has been itching quite a bit the last few days.  Dr. Block said it could be cholestasis of pregnancy, but we will wait for the lab results to confirm.  If it is cholestasis of pregnancy, luckily there is some medication Sara can take to help alleviate the itching.

Sara was also told that she needs to put on some more weight, so it looks like I will need to start baking.  Might be time to call Betty Crocker Darin Albrecht for some recipes.

Lastly, when Sara had the last procedure done on October 10, they took some amniotic fluid and sent it in for chromosome testing.  We received word today that the results of the test came back normal, so that was also good news.

Next checkup Tuesday, October 28.
