Here's a question for you...
I can understand my knees hurting from the extra weight... I can understand getting pimples from the extra hormones... But will someone please explain to me why I now have fuzzy ear lobes? I'm beginning to look like my granddad!

Well CRAP!!
The babies tried to show us what they were but it just wasn't clear enough. The doctor could guess but I don't want to base anything on a guess. So, we still don't know what I'm having. AARRRGGHHH!!!
I did see a new doctor about my migraines. He gave me some medicine made for Alzheimer's patients and said that it might work. I certainly hope so. These migraines are unbearable!! I had 3 last week alone. I wake up with one and I'm down for the entire day. Makes enjoying being pregnant very difficult!
The OB did reduce my work schedule from 40 hours a week to 30. Haven't had the opportunity to tell my boss yet. Hope he takes it well!

It's Almost TIME!!!
Tomorrow, Nov. 6th, we have a doctor's appt to find out what we're having!! I'm so excited I can't stand it!!!
Also, about 7am on Halloween morning, I felt Baby A move for the first time. Then, about 2 hours later, I felt Baby B move as well. On Saturday, Nov 3rd, I felt Baby A move again. It is such a strange feeling. Little flutters concentrated in one spot in my tummy.
I actually have 2 doctor's appts tomorrow. The first is to find out what I'm having. The second is because the doctor is getting concerned about me. My ankles are now bigger than my feet, I am having horrible headaches (probably due to sinuses), shortness of breath, and still vomiting every other day. Ever since I got sick about 3 weeks ago, things have become a little more difficult. Oh well... The joys of a twin pregnancy.

Happy To Report...
I am now 2 weeks free and clear of MORNING SICKNESS!! So glad... I really thought I was gonna kill someone soon. Now I have a little heart burn in the evenings but I can live with that. My tummy has really grown in the last 2 weeks as well. I expected my tummy to grow at a regular pace. I certainly didn't realize I would have growth spurts! It is so strange! I talked to my cousin (by marriage) yesterday because she had twins 18 years ago. It was really nice to hear she didn't enjoy being pregnant either. I was really hoping to enjoy being pregnant. I don't. I'm almost 15 weeks now and my toes look like little sausages! My tummy muscles get very tired from carrying the extra weight and they usually give up around 3:00 each day. That's when my tummy shows it's true size! Joe was rubbing my tummy after work yesterday and said "You're getting huge!". Thanks honey.

Cravings
About a month ago, Joe asked me what we were going to do for dinner. I said "How about Chinese food?" I had been feeling a little better and it sounded pretty good. So I call and ordered $40 worth of Chinese food. The food arrived and everything looked good. We both made our plates and sat down to dinner. Two bites later I passed my plate to Joe and said "Oh no! The babies do NOT like Chinese food!" Joe had Chinese for lunch for about 2 weeks and I couldn't go near the fridge because of the smell! YUK!!

New Doctor
Well I have finally been released from the Center and found the doctor to deliver the babies. Joe and I saw him on 9/7 and went through all the initial tests for new patients. But I did find out many interesting things. Since I am having twins and since I had the abdominal surgery last year, I have to go with a C-section. The doctor will schedule it for 38 weeks (around March 22) but he said most patients with twins go into labor at 36 weeks (around March 8). Also, if the babies cooperate, I should be able to find out what they are (boy/girl) the week of Thanksgiving!!
My next sonogram is scheduled for 9/21 and then I have also scheduled a Nuchal test (find out what the odds are of the babies having Down's Syndrome) on 9/27. The Center only uses the best eggs/sperm so Joe and I are not worried about the Nuchal test at all. Anything abnormal, they discard.
