DE FET# 3 - 8 Weeks, 2 Days

Starting this week I have had increasingly more bouts of nausea, to the point where it’s not subsiding and now it’s coupled with a slight case of acid reflux. In the 7^th week I was able to keep the bouts of nausea at bay by frequently eating. Well that’s not the case now. I try to always have something in my stomach but at this rate I’m going to become a whale. Along with all that I’ve been kind of dizzy and sooo tired that I could literally fall asleep at my desk.

I see my doctor for the 1^st trimester appt November 25^th, and if I can hold off until then I will definitely be asking him if he can prescribe me some Diclectin.  Maybe it will help me cause if it’s like this now I can only imagine what it’s going to be like later.

 

The other day I was doing some Googling and was reading that lots of moms deliver twins between 28 to 33 weeks. Well that kind of put a little damper on things becuase I have to work a total of 52 consective weeks in order to qualify for Mat Leave pay and be gaurenteed my job back a year later. As it was, my due date with an October 9th transfer would put me to June 26th (of course I didn't think we'd have the luck of haveing two which usually makes the due date sooner). I didn't end up coming back from my previous Mat Leave until June 1 because I extended it by two weeks. So if I make it to 37 weeks that will put me at June 4th and I'll be golden but then that means that I have to work right up to that point and from what I'm reading that would probably be a very unrealistic expectation on my part. 

 

Oh well I can't control that. I'm just happy that we've made it to this point. Ultrasound on the 24th. I pray all looks good.

OMG is all I have to say!! Years and years of trying and I finally got my little boy and now - and I do realize that things can change in a split second but for now I will remain positive - We are pregnant with TWINS!!! I can't believe it. I'm in utter shock!

Twin A was measuring 6 weeks 5 days with a heartbeat of 122bpm and Twin B was measuring 6 weeks 4 days with a heartbeat of 116bpm. I'm so excited.

DE FET #3 - 6 Weeks, 4 Days

Since my last post things have been pretty uneventful. I've just been biding my time, which I might add has been going by veeerrry slowly. :(

Tomorrow, however is ultrasound day. I'm so excited that the day is finally arriving. Now I just pray that we see what we need to see and that all is ok.

The past few days I've been second guessing whether or not its actually worked or not. I feel like maybe I'm feeling too confident that it's worked and I better tone it down a notch or else my dreams are going to be crushed. Then on the other had I feel like I have to be positive or it won't work. I hate what this waiting game does to ones mind. Just one more sleep, just one more sleep.

Symptoms don't seem to be as strong as last week, like not as hungry, not as tired, not as nauseous but I am still very thirsty. Could it be because something has happened when I had the little bleeding scare last week? I guess we just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed!
