12 Weeks

October 1, 2013

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 12 weeks

Size of babies: plums

Genders: still assuming it's B/G twins, but we have had fun playing around with B/B and G/G names

Maternity clothes: yep! Just pants though, shirts I can still wear non-maternity 

Weight gain: back down to 0 lbs
Belly growth: 3.5 inches

Movement: I *swore* I feel them from time-to-time, but the ultrasound tech laughed at me when I told her on Monday and said the babies are too small right now for me to feel anything.  Boo.  

Sleep: I'm finally starting to sleep better at night.  But I'm still really tired during the day and taking naps on the days that I can.  

Symptoms: my skin looks absolutely terrible, throwing up everyday

Cravings: Subway
What I miss: Diet Coke

Best moment this week: Hematoma is shrinking!! Dr P will place my cerclage on Wednesday!  

Best husband moment/quote: We have started laying in bed at night and listening to the babies heart beats on the doppler.  It's a sweet time together.
Notes: I'm officially only seeing Dr P from now on and she has scheduled me for each Monday until March.  In addition I'm also visiting The Women's Pavillion at TCH this week for an appointment with their Program for Multiples.  I will have a comprehensive ultrasound and meet with a genetic counselor, a nutritionist and a MFM doctor.
