We
weren't scheduled for an ultrasound today, but the
doctor asked the technician to scan Ricki anyway.
Everything looked great, all of the heartbeats were
between 130-150 bpm. The only concern the doctor had
was that Ricki's blood pressure was a little high.
He asked us to return Thursday for a blood pressure
check-up. She has gained 45 pounds to date, up 7 pounds
from last update.

Ricki
feels a few contractions each day (plus a lot of kicking),
but the doctors believe her prescribed medicine (2.5mg
of Brethine every four hours) will continue to keep
the contractions under control. She is also continuing
to take her pre-natal vitamins and iron supplements
each day. We are starting to get anxious. We would
love to keep them inside until they are over five
pounds each.
