Shopping

This past weekend I felt better than I have in quite a while, which was great timing for the visit from grandma and grandpa to be. My mom and I went shopping for some maternity clothes on Saturday and they had a pillow in one of the dressing rooms to put on under your clothes, in order to see how the clothing would fit in a couple months once the belly has grown. So, I put it on with the tank top I was trying on and this is what I looked like.

People have asked...

People have been asking how I have been feeling, and quite frankly crappy. LOL. I have not posted much about how I have been feeling, because I don't want to complain to much. I am feeling a bit better today so I thought I would post a small update.

I have been sick 24-7, and could not seem to keep any food down. the Dr put me on one medication which did not work. He added another medication and told me that if I don't start keeping food down he would hospitalize me. Yay *me being sarcastic* Luckily, the 2nd medication seems to help. I am now taking 2 medications which help me to keep the food down, but make me feel Very tired all the time. My new bed time has been about 6:45-7:00pm every night.

Today, I am feeling pretty good. Tired, but not very sick. I have been making it through the night with only one nauseous moment and grabbing a quick snack (usually around 3am) seems to help and I can go back to sleep.

For those of you who do not know, I have Fibromyalsia Syndrome (FMS) and it hasn't been to bad during the pregnancy so far. Thank Goodness. I have had bad leg cramping and aching from it, which makes it hard to sleep sometimes, but other than that, it has been pretty mellow. Thank goodness.

I am looking forward to the time in the pregnancy that I can "enjoy" being pregnant. Haven't quite gotten there yet, but I am optimistic that my time will come.

14 Weeks

HUGE ALREADY!!

12 Weeks

The babies are both growing at a steady and healthy pace, right on target and their heart beats were the same at 166 beats per minute.

Twin A

Twin B - this little one was VERY active and was doing summer salts. It was kicking off the sides like a trampoline. Was very funny to watch.

11 Weeks

Your baby will begin to grow very rapidly, and by the end of week 11, your baby will be about 2 inches in length. To accommodate this growth, the blood vessels in the placenta are increasing -- both in size and in number -- to provide the baby with more nutrients. At the middle of week 11, you have 80 days down -- only 200 to go!
