Getting bigger and bigger!

I just came home from Dr. Brothers' office. I am now having to go to the doctor EVERY week. I see Dr. Brothers every other week and the opposite weeks I see Dr. Magee! I have gained almost 17 pounds and am now at 21 weeks. Dr. Brothers said the average amount of weight gain for a mother of twins is 40 lbs...YIKES! Her comment about my weight today when I frowned on the scales was, "I want these babies to get so big that you are miserable pregnant and are ready to deliver!".
The concern at this point is premature labor, so she told me that I would possibly have to have a company come to the house to install a fetal monitor that would be connected to our home phone. I would have to wear the monitor for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. The monitor would alert my doctor if there was any detection of contractions. I am hoping that everything continues to go so well that I will not need that added monitoring.
These sweet boys are SO active. Holden was moving around so much today that Dr. Brothers had to chase him around with the heart dopler. It sounded like he was kicking at the monitor. He already has a mind of his own...not a big surprise!!
Thank you for all of the continued prayers and support!!
