I've been a bad blogger! I can't believe I haven't updated in so long. Well, here is my update for today. I had my routine monthly midwife appointment (18w6d) and right off the bat my blood pressure was high. The nurse took it again and then left. She came back and said I would need blood work, urine testing, and possibly more monitoring. Great. My midwife came in and once again told me I would need the testing. She also told me that she was going to have me see MFM on Monday AM. In the meantime, I've been put on temporary bedrest. So, this weekend will consist of resting, praying, peeing into a jar (for 24 hours at least) and trying not to stress. I feel normal (for being pg with twins-my new normal) and so I think that the high blood pressure is just an anomaly. At least I hope it is!
My midwife did a quick u/s and the boys look fine and have strong heartbeats, so hopefully this isn't affecting them too much.

WOW! Reminds me of ME! Was on bedrest the last 3 1/2 months and delivered a month early! Did MANY 24 hr urines-EW! Praying the same is not true for you!
If you dont mind me asking: What was your blood pressure and what are your boys heartrates averaging?
Mine is around 155 bpm and people keep saying that means its a girl, but I know those are just myths. I am just curious though. :)
Hope your BP comes down!
Embiemom-I just went back and re-read your blog during the high blood pressure time.
Amanda- My blood pressure was in the 150's over 90's range each of the 3 times it was taken.
My boys usually are in the 130-140 bpm range. So it could be a girl!
