14 WEEKS UPDATE:
Baby Size: The twins are each the size of a peach
Total weight gain: 11
pounds. The baby books tell me to expect to gain 45-50 pounds with my
frame and twins. HOLY COW! That seems like so much! Jason just today
(who was reading one of his expecting twins books and two iphone apps)
informed me that I should have gained 14-18 pounds by this point. I
assured him that 11 pounds was plenty (I mean my Lord I'm only 14 weeks
and feel as though 11 pounds is a LOT!)...he disagreed and immediately
left for the grocery store. He returned with peanut butter crackers and
two things of ice cream. He said the book said that ice cream was good
for me to eat because it has a good amount of fat and is full of calcium
and that the books say at 14 weeks 14-18 pounds is normal. So lets just
say I took down a big bowl of ice cream tonight. I mean come
one...twist my arm :)
Maternity clothes? Not
yet. My skinny jeans still fit if I use an elastic hair tie through the
button hole! But not sure how much longer this trick is gonna work. I
swear every day I wake up the bump looks a little bit bigger so I'm
afraid maternity clothes are in my very near future!
Sleep: The
first trimester I swore these babies were sucking the life out of me. I
tired to come home and take a little nap every day after work. But
since I've gotten into the second trimester I have a little bit more
energy and don't feel the need to nap like I did,
Miss Anything? Actually
the only thing I really miss is lunch meat! A hard salami sandwich or a
Jimmy Johns Beach club. But no lunch meat when your prego so veggie
subs it is. BORRRIIINGG.
Movement: Not
yet but my doctor has said with twins you feel movement much sooner
since they are so smashed inside there. So I'm hoping I feel them move
soon! When we have ultrasounds they move around and kick and wave like
crazy. Especially Baby B. I think Baby B is going to be our wild child.
Food cravings: Not
really. I kind of craved salty stuff for a while, like salt and vinegar
chips. Now I kind of want sour stuff. I've been eating a lot of pink
lemonade jolly rancher suckers. But I wouldn't really call any of this
cravings because I swear I've always been the type to crave things, even
when I wasn't pregnant.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I
was extremely lucky to not have even one bit of morning sickness the
first trimester. Not one day of nausea or sickness. I really lucked out
there. The only pregnancy side effect (besides the fatigue and growing
belly!) that I've had is terrible headaches. Like serious headaches.
UGH.
Gender: I
wish we knew!! I'm hoping since we get ultrasounds a little more often
since we've got two in there that we find out a little earlier. But that
may be wishful thinking.
Symptoms: Just the headaches :(
Mood: Wellll.....Jason
said a few weeks ago that he thinks I've been more normal and calm
pregnant than I was on all the hormone medications and fertility shots.
But I'll be the first to admit that the week we finished up building the
house and moving was a very, errrr, how should I say this....trying
week for me. I am so ready to just be pregnant and not be pregnant while
going to fertility appointments out of state once a week, planning
bridal and bachelorette parties, picking out house stuff, calling
contractors, and moving! But we are now officially moved and things have
calmed down.
Looking forward to: Feeling the little ones move!
