As all of you know...we are expecting TWINS!! This was HUGE news to us. I had always wanted one girl and
that was all. Then, I found out I was pregant and thats how the story begins...
I scheduled an appointment with the lab at the hospital to have my blood drawn thinking they could tell me how far along I was (
maybe 3 weeks). My test results came back and my progesterone levels were really low, so my doctor put me on a progesterone pill. Let me just say...that stuff is for the birds!! I was soooooo sick!! My poor husband had to do EVERYTHING for the family!!! Although, it was nice to take a break from life and lay in bed for 2 weeks! So, I finally got to go to my first,
real, doctor appointment and check out this bab
Y. We did a normal ultrasound and everything looked great! I came back 4 weeks later, did another ultrasound, and WOAH what was that!?!? We both saw the two black blobs at the same time. Of course I had to go to this appointment by myself...Matt was at work. I was sooo anxious to call him and tell him the news. All I could think about was HE IS GONNA FREAK! And he did!! Just like every one else in the family! Now, I can say that I'm so so so so excited to start this CRAZY journey we are about to start!!
I haven't been motivated to start this blog, but I read another twin mom's blog and now I'm ready to talk! Right now, I'm 17 weeks and 5 days along. We found out on September 18th that they are boy/girl twins. I'm still not sure I believe the doctors, but I go back in a couple weeks and they can assure me.
Now then, on the mom of twins blog I was reading, she had a questionaire that she fills out every week (or so) and I want to copy her idea!! SO FUN!!!
How far along? 17 Weeks 5 days
Total weight gain: According to my doctor's visit weigh in on Tuesday- I have gained 4 pounds. I'll have to ask next time what my pre-pregancy weight was so we can keep tabs on this.
Maternity clothes? Some here some there. I figured out tonight that I can't do the rubberband around the button trick anymore. pants. wont. stay. zipped.
Stretch marks? Nope, not yet. I didn't get ANY with Shelby...not gonna get my hopes up tho!
Sleep: I go to bed late...wake up twice to restroom...and then start my day at 8:00 am with a 2 year old.
Best moment this week: It's only Tuesday, so... I heard a great message at Bible Study tonight. Always puts me in a happy place!
Miss Anything? Sitting/sleeping/walking/feeling comfortable
Movement: I've been feeling the flutters for a few days now. Every once in a while my right side will start hurting then a few hours later it will be my left side. I can only imagine how the following months are going to go.
Food cravings: ALL FOOD!! Tonight I could't decide what I wanted from McDonalds (fourth meal) so I got a cheeseburger, some cookies (yummo)(btw, I shared these with Shelby), a strawberry milkshake, and a medium sweet tea.
Anything making you queasy or sick: YES...avacodo, guacamole & macaroni and cheese. I'm sure there is more but these things make me sick just typing them!!
Labor Signs: I sure hope not!!!
Symptoms: Restroom 100 times a day, my belly feels really heavy, weird appetite, and super tired!
Wedding rings on or off? On...hopefully will stay that way!
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm gonna go with moody.
Looking forward to: Oct 9th. Next appointment to see these babies!
