Week 20 - First Hurdle!

My first goal has arrived! I've broken it down into 4 week time frames now that I've hit the first one. I feel very blessed and happy to have made it here so far and now my mind is set for the next 4 weeks! Wish us luck :)
I had two appointments last week: the first was with my OB on Thursday - just a regular check-in appointment. I love my doctor and my nurse so much! I've told you before that my nurse is my sister's sis-in-law but basically she is family too. They are always so reassuring and helpful! Thank you, thank you! I also had an appointment with my peri on Friday. They did a usound to check their heart beats and placenta placements. They were busy, busy in there. I still don't feel them a ton but I do more every few days or so. They move around like crazy on the usound though - so cute! In fact, their heartbeats might be a little off since they had a hard time making them be still long enough to put to probe on their hearts.
BABY A's heartbeat: 147
BABY B's heartbeat: 155
BABY C's heartbeat: 147
Don't worry everyone - we'll get them names soon enough. They won't be labeled ABC for long :)
They looked great and growing. We'll do a growth usound coming up in the next few weeks which I am so glad for since then I can make sure they are growing like they should. I've felt pretty good lately but this last week, a little nauseous again for some reason.
Belly growing? Check
Ribs expanding? Check
Round Ligament Pain? Check
Well, all signs point to growth and the babies health so I'm not complaining! Thanks again everyone! We appreciate you more than you know. By the way, I've given up on the whole bare belly thing. I don't care now - it's only going to get bigger so I figure o-well.
