TWINNING!!


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 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!
