10 weeks 4 days

Today I am 10 weeks 4 days pregnant. Nothing new to report as far as symptoms go. We go back to the doctor Wednesday to hear the heartbeats for the first time. I am so excited! I figured out how to record on my phone so I can play that sound over and over.

The anxiety of having twins is setting in. I worry daily about coming back to work and having someone watch them. My sis n law lives 45 min. away so that is not an option. She would be the prime person. She has offered to meet me halfway each morning but I know that would get annoying after the first week. I keep telling myself to just pray about it. Somehow someway it will all work out. It always does.

It still amazes me that I am actually pregnant. It's slowley becoming a reality. I never thought I would get to this point and here I am. It's great!

I just bought my first pair of maternity pants today. With my stomach growing daily I figured it was time to break down and buy a pair.

9 Weeks Today

I had my first OB appointment Tuesday morning. At 8 weeks 5 days, both babies are doing great. Baby A & B measured at 2.02 cm and their heart rate was 160bpm. It was good to see them again, they have both grown so much since our 7 week appointment. They are starting to look like humans. I can tell where their head is and on one sono pic you can see baby B's arm. I go back July 1st for blood work and we should get to hear the hear beats on the Doppler machine. My OB told me I would have to see her along with a high risk doctor since I'm having twins but that wouldn't start until I'm 18 weeks. She asked me how I felt about having the CVS testing done and I don't feel that I need to do that test. I would never terminate my pregnancy so what's the point in having that test and then worry about the results?

I am 9 weeks today. Only 3 more to go until I reach my second trimester. It has gone by so fast. I still have queasy moments, BBS are tender, tiredness is there but not as bad, one thing that has stepped up is moodiness. I can go from 0 to 60 in seconds. Stephen laughed at me the other day. I was so mad at him because I just made me cheese and crackers and he grabbed a few off my plate. Oh heck no you do not steal from a pregnant woman! I went off like a rocket and he started laughing thought that was so funny. Oh it was not funny at all! That was made for me not him! He told me last night this was the meanest he has ever seen me. I apologized of course. I try my best to control my anger but sometimes it just comes out. And it's usually the little things that get to me. I am just glad that I have a husband that loves me no matter what and understands that this really is not me. Ha!

It's OFFICIAL!

Our appointment was at 1:00 today and we didn't get to see the doctor until 1:35. The wait was torture. My heart was racing and I was on the verge of crying. I wanted to know right then. I was tired of waiting. We get into the room and I am sitting there sweating. Stephen is singing, moving around, playing with the table and driving me crazy! How in the world can men be so calm when we are on the verge of a nervous breakdown?

The doctor finally comes in and she gets ready. All the sudden I look on the sono and there they are. My beautiful baby twins!!! Im thinking okay I see the yolk sac and the body where are the heartbeats? I asked her are there heartbeats? She said yes look and zoomed in a little closer. OMG that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. These two tiny beings with their hearts fluttering away! Baby A measured 7 weeks 2 days with a heartrate of 142 Baby B measured 6 weeks 6 days with a heartrate of 132.

Words will never describe what I felt seeing my babies! They are beautiful! I can not wait to meet them!!!
