I had another doctor's appointment yesterday. The babies are very active and have good strong hearts. I have finally gained some weight. I currently have a net increase of 2 lbs total for this pregnancy, not nearly enough but it is a start. All testing came back good and my blood pressure is still good and low.
I did manage to injure myself on Tuesday. I pulled a few of my lower abdominal mussels getting up to quickly from a picnic table at a play ground. My doctor says the mussels will start to feel a little better in a week or so but won't fully heal until after the birth.
We have less than 10 weeks at this point.

26 Week update
Sorry it's been a while since I posted last. I did have an ultrasound yesterday. Both babies are looking good. They both are estimated at 2 lbs 12 oz. Both are very active. Aaron and Abby have been able to feel them move for a few weeks now. They did finally get a picture of Baby B's face this time.
Earlier this week Abby took a class at the hospital on being a big sister. She seemed to enjoy the class and is looking forward to meeting her new siblings.
After many weeks of trial and error we have finally gotten the gestational diabetes under control. I am doing a combination of insulin shots and Metformin. Luckily I am able to take the type of insulin that I only have to give myself shots once a day.
Last weekend we went to Saint George for the Mountain Bike festival. Abby was excited to stay in a hotel and swim in the hotel pool. This weekend we will be going to Moab to go camping and meet up with some college friends. I'm hoping I will still be able to keep up with everyone else.
We are trying to get all of our traveling in now because I won't be able to travel out of the SLC area once I hit 32 weeks. Other than getting close to the due date I will also have to have stress tests done on the kids twice a week from then on until delivery. Speaking of delivery my scheduled C-section has been moved up to week of June 16th through the 20th due to the size of the kids. Most likely it will either be June 16th or the 18th (if I make it that far).

We have been very busy trying to get the house ready for the new additions. This included having the basement remodeled so that it would be more useful to us. We also added a third bathroom in the basement. Our next goal is to convert what was the guest bedroom into Abby's new room. This will include a few cans of purple wall paint. Here's some photos of what we have done.
