A Quick Catch Up




Two babies!!!! WHAT!!! Am I ready for twins? That’s the question I continue to get from everyone. Or the famous “Your going to be as big as a house“. Either way it goes, I will not care how big I get, as long as my babies are healthy.

I’m very excited about this pregnancy. I had to get maternity pants already because my uterus is growing really fast with two babies. I also started to shop at my favorite store TARGET for maternity shirts. You all know I will never pay full price for anything in TARGET. I got about four shirts for under $3 each. I will be there more often since I will grow out of these clothes very fast.

Medication time…. Yup!!! I’m still taking the PIO shots every night. I’m so ready for this to be over. I have to continue these shots until I’m 10 weeks. I have four more weeks to go. Until the 10th week I will get these shots every night, my bum hurts sooo bad but I have to do this for my babies. I’m also still on my four patches of Estrogen every other day. Lots of medication for another four weeks. Prenatal pills everyday and maybe a Colace here and there. I need to go get another bottle of the Colace, they’re the only thing keeping me regular at this time.

Pain…. Never really knew all that goes along with a twin pregnancy, I know now. I have to chill out a little more. I went to the mall this past Sunday for jeans and may have over exerted myself. I started to cramp and it never stopped . I went to the restroom and was spotting, I immediately got scared and went to the hospital. The babies are doing well. I just have to do less, work less, and take care of me and babies more.

Doctor….Went to my first OB appointment today and discussed what to expect. OMG!!! This is going to be an adventure. I will have a cerclage around 12 or 13 weeks. Bedrest will apparently come sooner then I thought, maybe November. I’m not ready for that so soon. I also will be going to a Maternal Fetal Specialist every other week, so that’s OB one week and MFS the other. I will spend half of this pregnancy in the doctors office. Better safe than sorry. I have to keep my babies safe and healthy. Baby A is the bigger of the two, but Baby B is right behind. Baby A is measuring 6 weeks 5 days and B is 6 weeks 3 days. I am betting on A being a girl and B being a boy.

My next appointment is set for 10/19/2010 for the MFS. I know everything will be great, looking forward to it.

Oh and the most important thing is the due date….. My EDD is May 20th, 2011 (my sisters birthday).

Keep my babies in your prayers.
