Week 14 Update - Gender Announcement

At 14 weeks I'm feeling pretty decent. I still stay sick if I don't take Zofran, so I'm still taking that twice a day. I've only gained about half a pound over the last week or two, so I'm at 136 now (started at 130). My energy seems to mostly be back. I do get backaches more often now. My stomach is very round and I'm obviously pregnant now even to strangers. The twins are measuring perfect, which leads me to the exciting news for the week :)

We went to our gender ultrasound on Saturday. Just me and my husband went, and we planned on doing the reveal for everyone else Sunday. Baby A showed it's parts with nor problem and we were so excited. However, Baby B decided to cross its legs and not budge. I did jumping jacks, drank a Sprite, left and came back 30 minutes later and it was still not cooperating. We finally got it to move enough that the tech was 98% sure she knew what Baby B was:)

We did our reveal on Sunday and everyone was soooo excited to find out we are having a BOY and a GIRL!!! The girl is Baby B, so we're hoping she's still a girl when we go to confirm tomorrow lol! Me, my mom and my grandma went shopping yesterday and got a ton of stuff. I'm just so thankful and excited about my twins.

Week 13 Update

So I just realized I'm like 3 days late on doing my weekly update lol! Oops! I'm now in my second trimester and still throwing up every day. It does seem to be getting a little better though. My stomach as really "popped" more and is pretty round now. I've felt a tiny bit of movement especially at night. My fatigue is much better now and I seem to have more energy throughout the day.

The most exciting thing though is in just TWO days I find out the genders of the babies. We are doing the reveal for everyone else in three days on Sunday. I'm beyond excited and I can't wait to find out. Me and DH are going shopping after our ultrasound on Saturday and I finally get to buy baby clothes! I'll probably post the reveal stuff on here with my 14 week update next Monday.

Confesstion - I still have bitterness

So I found out yesterday that my sister in law is pregnant. Without trying of course. Even though I'm pregnant, this still stung so much. I'm still bitter that people that seem undeserving can get pregnant naturally and we had to spend over $12,000 to get to this place. The most annoying part is that I know my twins won't receive as much both in attention and in physical things because my SIL is "less fortunate" than us. Which I understand, but it doesn't make it any easier. I thought once I was pregnant this would pass but I guess not.

Week 12 Update - New Pictures!

Today was my 12 week appointment. They did the NT scan which was normal for both babies. They were moving all around today! The doctor guessed boy/girl. I get it confirmed next Saturday.

Baby A:

 

 





Baby B:

This is the last week of my first trimester! I'm feeling better on some days, and then other days are still super rough. Today was one of those days. I threw up twice before I left for work and got sick again while trying to eat lunch. Yesterday was a good day though. Other than that I just stay tired from taking the Zofran but I don't have many other symptoms. Some occasional hot flashes and weepiness. I can't wait to find out what I'm having!!

Week 11 Update

I may start doing these each month instead of each week as not much is going on right now. I'm still very sick every day and I now have to take Zofran twice a day or I'm constantly throwing up. We are doing my gender reveal on May 27, so less than 3 weeks away. I can't wait I'm so excited to by clothes. I have some family that is coming into town this weekend for my brother's birthday, so I'm excited about seeing them. I haven't gained any weight in the past month or so, but my stomach definitely is harder and getting rounder. I crave sweets some especially Froot Loops with marshmallows. I can pretty easily find the babies with the Doppler now and they seem to be the most active in the mornings. I just cant wait to feel them moving.
