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 babY. 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!
My comments: Stretch marks? probably gonna happen with two.
ReplyDeleteSleep? overrated!
Movement? I can't even imagine what it will feel like with two. I hope you will let me feel them when they get bigger!
Food cravings? Not seeing much of this. Totally random every time I see you!
Queasy? Apparently anything I cook! LOL!
Moods? OMG! They come and go! Everyone should duck and cover when Evil Morgan comes out to play. You definitely have every right to those feelings though! Nothing you say or feel will not be held against you!
