First OB appt!

We had our first OB appt!  It was so great!  We got to see the babies and have our very first abdominal US!  The babies look awesome!  They are getting so big!  Baby A weighs 3 oz and Baby B weighs 2 oz.  They are both still perfect!  We also found out according to our 6 week US, I was measuring 1 day ahead so we are actually 13w1d today.  Dr. H said she wouldn't change our due date anymore, but that the most accurate way to figure out the gestation is by that first US.  So I am one day further along than I thought!  Yay!;)  There wasn't too much else to our appt.  We talked to Bridget and she told us that starting at 20 weeks we would have an US every 4 weeks and at 30 weeks we would have NSTs every week.  She said she would stop labor up to 36 weeks and depending how I felt she would feel fine inducing or doing a Csection anytime after that.  I want to get to 36 weeks so bad!  One of my biggest fears is preterm labor.  I will feel much better when I hit 28 weeks.  Ok now for some pictures!!

Baby A(closest to the exit route;))....look how sweet with it's hands up to it's face.  The US tech says she thinks this one is a boy because he was stubborn and kept flippin over making it hard to get measurements.  "He" also had his little feet crossed(indian style). And he's the bigger one.  HR was 153 bpm

This is Baby A(on top of baby B right now)...so sweet "she" just layed there with her arm over "her" face and had "her" legs crossed at the knee.  She was so cooperative....must be a lil lady!;)  HR was 150bpm

Both of our lil Angels:).  So thankful for these little ones!

I need to stop referring to them as he and she.  That US tech has me thinking they are a girl and boy now. I can't wait to know for sure!  We don't have another US until 20 weeks, but I think I am going to have a friend do one at work at around 16 because we can't wait!!  Oh Bridget also said there is a possibility that they could be identical...we won't know that until we do a test after they are born.  They have their own placentas but Bridget is an identical twin and they both had their own placentas.  Rob thinks it would be cool if they're identical because he said if they are, he thinks it is that 3rd embryo that we ended up putting back that split:)...I guess we'll see.

How far along? 13 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss? still only up 1 lb

Maternity clothes? I bought some and I love them!  They make me look pregnant!  I look really pregnant at night, but not so much in the morning:)

Stretch marks? None...I need to get something to start putting on my tummy though

Sleep? still dreaming a lot and I have to get up to pee more during the night

Best moment this week?  Seeing the babies!!

Movement?  getting closer to that.  They are very active...now they just need to get a little bigger

Food cravings/aversions?  I haven't had any real cravings this week and am having very few aversions if any.  I am VERY thankful for that!

Gender?  Boy/Girl???....I am just ready to find out so we can really start talking about names and start shopping!

Symptoms?  I feel like I am having to pee a lot more often.  I feel like the Nausea has went away...it has been close to a week.  We'll see if I start feeling it anymore.  I don't really think I have much else going on right now.  Still tired but not near as tired as early on.

What I am looking forward to?  Having an US at work to find out the genders!

Weekly Wisdom?  Don't worry your belly will grow soon and then you'll wish it would stop!;)

Milestones?  We are in the 2nd trimester and we got to have our first abdominal US!!!

I thank God several times a day for these miracles!  Thank you Jesus!

Maternity Clothes and a growing belly!

I went and bought a few maternity things today and I love them because they make me look pregnant!:)  My regular jeans hit me funny and just make me look like I am gaining weight, but maternity jeans are awesome!  And I got some maternity shirts too.  Just so you know this is tonight...after we went out and ate, so in the morning my belly won't quite look like this, but I think it is growing a little!  Yeah for the start of a belly!!!

For all of you whiners;)

I think it grew a little overnight because it wasn't quite that big yesterday:)

12 Weeks!

I don't have a picture today because my "outfit" is in the dirty clothes and I think I am smaller than I was last week anyway:(.  I want a belly!!!  I can't wait.  I am hoping that in the next few weeks at least I will be able to tell that it's getting bigger!

How far along? 12 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss? I finally weighed myself and I was really surprised to see that I only have gained 1 lb.  It feels like way more.

Maternity clothes? not yet:(

Stretch marks? None...I'm not even really growing yet:(

Sleep? still dreaming a lot and I have to get up to pee more during the night

Best moment this week?  I am pregnant with two babies!!  What else could I ask for?!?!

Movement?  Still have a while to wait for that

Food cravings/aversions?  I haven't had any real cravings this week...but I totally despise vegetables...which isn't really anything new:)

Gender?  I don't know....I am just ready to find out so we can really start talking about names!

Symptoms?  I thought the nausea was totally going away, but just when I think it must be gone I have a day where I don't feel good at all, but my good days are definitely outnumbering my sickly ones.  I am still tired but not near as tired as I was in the very beginning.  My lower back is starting to get sore...I guess it is because my pelvis is starting to stretch.  I got a nice lower back massage at acupuncture yesterday and it was heavenly!  Overall I haven't felt too bad at all.  And I enjoy all of the new symptoms as they come because it is just so cool to finally have pregnancy symptoms!!

What I am looking forward to?  Our first OB appt next week(13 weeks).  We get to see the babies again and maybe have our first ever abdominal ultrasound!

Weekly Wisdom?  Don't worry your belly will grow eventually

Milestones?  Our babies are officially referred to as fetuses as of 11w1d

11 weeks

I can't believe I am 11 weeks already!  Time is starting to go a little faster now, and I imagine it will only go quicker and quicker!  I don't have an 11 week picture because technically I am not 11 weeks until tomorrow and I don't think there is really too much change but I'll make sure to take a pic next week.  I have a feeling in the next few weeks there will start to be a difference!  So since I don't have a pic of me...here's a pic of my  man Dr. J.....:)

One of the two men that got me pregnant.....;)

Oh and here's the other one...lol:)

Ok here we go......

Total weight gain/loss: Still don't know, but we did get new batteries for the scale, so maybe I'll check that out.

Maternity clothes? Nope...I'm still waiting

Stretch marks? No new ones:)

Sleep: I don't sleep  well, still having vivid dreams and waking up a lot.

Best moment this week: letting our families hear the heartbeats with the doppler...it is so cool!

Food cravings: I am over the cheeseburger craving for now...thank goodness...no real cravings this week

Labor Signs: No! And there better not be for a long time!

Belly Button in or out? In

Overwhelmed

.......with so much joy and thankfulness, while laying in bed, after just listening to our babies hearts fluttering away....it's so humbling.

My babies at 10 weeks!

We got released today!  It was so bittersweet for sure!  We'll miss Dr. J, but we are so glad to be to this point finally!!  And we are excited to start seeing our OB  Dr. Hurry!  I told Dr. J, "well maybe we'll see you in about 2 years."  He looked at me and said, "I better see you before 2 years.  You better bring the babies to see me!"  I was like, "oh yeah!  We'll do that!;)"  Later this afternoon, I emailed him, thanking him for everything and telling him that we would miss him.  He emailed back and said, "Your welcome.  My pleasure-really.  Love you guys."  How sweet is he?!?!  I just love him;)

So anyway, I'll be calling to make an appt with our OB tomorrow.  Dr. J said she should want to see us within the next couple of weeks.  So exciting!  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!!

10 Weeks!

How far along? 10 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Still don't know.  I need to get a scale that works

Maternity clothes? Nope...I'm still waiting

Stretch marks? See last weeks answer;)

Sleep: I'm still pretty tired most of the time, but since the beginning of the pregnancy I haven't slept well at all.  I having really wild vivid dreams. I read that this is from the hormones.

Best moment this week: Finding the babies HB on the doppler.  I usually can only find one, but once the HB was like double time, so i think it was picking up both of them!

Movement: Not yet- but I can't wait!

Food cravings: Grapenuts and Cheeseburgers!!  HA

Gender: I think it will be 2 boys:)...I don't know why...that's just what I'm thinking

Labor Signs: No! And there better not be for a long time!

Belly Button in or out? In, but it has weird tingly feelings a lot.

What I miss: Nothing! 

What I am looking forward to: Today's US, and maybe being released and being a regular pregnant person....although this scares me a little too

Weekly Wisdom: I don't think I have any this week

Milestones: Double Digits!!!

9 weeks

How far along: 9 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: My scale doesn't work.  I am kinda curious about this because I know that I have gained weight.....I'm just wondering how much!!

Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I can't wait!!!

Stretch marks: maybe a few on my brand new C cups!  LOL

Best moment this week: my babies don't have tails anymore;)

Movement: No, but I can't wait for this....what an amazing thing to feel a baby moving inside you!

Food craving/aversions: I want cheeseburgers ALL. THE. TIME. !!!  I am going to have to get a personal trainer after this pregnancy for sure!:)

Belly button in or out: in

What I miss: Nothing!

What I am looking forward to: The ultrasound on Thursday(10 weeks)....getting a belly....and being able to hear my babies hearts beating on the doppler I am borrowing from a friend!!

Weekly wisdom: Be prepared for tears to flow a lot easier than they normally do....(this is something I've figured out on my own this week:))

Milestones: We're getting so close to double digits!!!

Symptoms: I've decided that being pregnant(for me) feels like a continuous hangover.  I have a headache most of the time and just feel kinda icky.  But I function just fine and am able to eat and everything, so I am so lucky!  I am still tired all the time and very emotional when I least expect it.  

I am still loving being pregnant!!  I'm trying to enjoy every bit of it and to not worry.  I have done so much better about not worrying since our last ultrasound, but I am ready to see my babies!  I need to see their hearts beating again, so I can't wait for Thursday to get here!  I am so proud of myself.  I haven't even emailed Dr. Jarrett for 3 whole weeks!....and he thought I wouldn't be able to stop being so psycho!;)  I think I am doing great!:)
