Week 18 Update

I'm halfway to my C-Section date! It's starting to get super real and I can't wait to meet these guys. As far as how I'm feeling, I'm still sick unfortunately, and I'm beginning to think I probably will be the whole pregnancy. Also my acid reflux is awful and I'm constantly dealing with it after every time that I eat. I've gained 10 pounds so far which I'm very happy with. I only have stretch marks on my thighs as of now. We've already bought a lot of baby gear items so I don't have much left to get besides little things like bottles, hygiene items, etc. My next appointment is in 2 weeks.

Week 17 Update

Almost halfway there (since I'm doing a csection at 37 weeks)! The babies are doing great. My sickness is still pretty bad.. but other than that I'm doing fine. My belly button is starting to flatten out which is pretty cool. My stomach is definitely getting very round and everyone keeps talking about how much I'm starting to show.

The babies went a couple days where they didn't move much at all. I started freaking out but I got my Doppler out yesterday and found them right away. They started moving as soon as I found them. They hate that thing lol!

We haven't had any more big baby buys yet. Just clothes occasionally. We are in the middle of planning my shower which I can't wait for. 140 days or less until my babies get here!

Week 16 Update

I had my first MFM appointment and my 16 week OB appointment this week. Babies look great and are measuring right on track. They each weighed 5 ounces. We confirmed that they are definitely both boys. My cervix is still nice and long, around 3.8cm. I'm still very sick and I have to take Zofran once to twice a day or I throw up non stop. For the most part my energy has returned. I feel occasional movement, but nothing consistent. Right now the babies are both laying in the transverse position.

We've bought several baby clothing items, mostly matching sets. I sooo ready for my baby shower in September. We have a lot of the big stuff, but there's still a lot I need to raise two tiny humans.

Week 15 Update - Gender Correction

So SURPRISE, but it's actually 2 boys! Baby B was hiding his stuff last appointment. I was a tiny bit disappointed, but I'm doing better with it now. I've been buying matching outfits and they're just so cute.

Symptoms wise I think I'm mostly the same. Most of my energy is back now. I'm around 136.5 pounds. I tried to come off my Zofran but I'm still throwing up without it so I'm still taking it. My stomach is pretty round now and I feel movement occasionally. I go to MFM for the first time next Monday, and back to my OB on next Tuesday for my monthly check up.

I have been having pretty strong stomach pains when I do too much at work or at the house, so I'm trying to take it easy and not overdo it.
