I'm back!

Just realized how long it's been since I'd last posted. Not too much has been going on. Basically, I wake up every morning feeling sick, then I feel sick all day until I finally go to sleep feeling sick. I don't want to keep complaining on and on about it, because this is what we wanted so much and I'm so grateful that I'm still pregnant and therefore still sick. But I also do want to document it for my future self and for anyone else who is wondering how it feels being pregnant with twins (or at least how it felt for me).

That said, it has been tough. They put me on Diclegis, which is an antihistamine and B6. It takes the edge off the nausea, so that helps some., but it makes me incredibly tired, which is redundant because I'm in my first trimester so I'm already incredibly tired. I could sleep all day if given the chance!

I'm still on my PIO shots but looking forward to stopping them on Sunday. I get to stop the estrace then as well. Part of me worries about what my hormone levels will do once I'm off the extras, but the other part of me will be glad not to have to take them anymore. 

I get to see Hall and Oates on Tuesday! My first OBGYN appt. I'll have an ultrasound then meet with the doc afterward. 

I have managed to gain a couple of pounds. I'm basically back where I started the pregnancy (135). And just in the last few days, I've really noticed my stomach starting to grow. I'm sure it's not babies yet, but it could be my uterus expanding and pushing my organs up. Ew. Sounds gross!

Anyway, I'm hanging in and hoping to start feeling better sometime in the next month. 

I'll update as things develop. And with pics on Tuesday!

Ultrasound Day - Part Two

It's twins!!! We are so insanely happy and I am too sick and tired to write more, but I will, in the coming days! Thank you all so much for the (continued) prayers!! 

Ultrasound day!!! Part One

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been incredibly nauseous and exhausted every waking minute for the last two weeks or so, and I didn't want to come off as whiny. Especially after wanting so badly to get to this point. 

Well, today is the day we've been waiting for...ultrasound day! We're heading in this morning to see what exactly is going on in my uterus to make me so sick! ;) 

I am very excited and a little nervous. Part of me is hoping for twins and another part is afraid of them. I think I'll feel kind of silly if it's just one considering I've been reading books about twins for the past two weeks, but I'll get over it. Really, as cliched as it sounds, I just want to find healthy baby or babies. 

I'll check in later with the update!

5 weeks 6 days

Well, yeah, I must be pregnant, because the nausea has officially hit. It's been slowly ramping up. Today I have felt pretty awful, which feels terrific, if you know what I mean! 

I still have 9 days until my ultrasound, so any sign that everything is ok makes me very happy, even if it makes me very nauseous.

I also have a cold, so that isn't helping things, but eating small amounts of food all day is helping. I also have some lemon ginger tea and actually my favorite peppermint gum seems to help the most. I think I have about 2-3 weeks before it should peak and then hopefully start to decline. 

My last pregnancy, I felt the tiniest bit of queasiness starting exactly at 6 weeks. This time, it started a day or two before 5 weeks. Maybe this means it will end sooner?! That would be excellent. I know It peaked around 8-9 weeks and started feeling better between 12-14 weeks last time. That seems like such a long way away! 

Well, anyway, all's well for now. I haven't had any new bleeding since the scare on monday night and I'm thrilled about that. I'm just happy to be feeling pregnant.  Hopefully it stays that way!
