I was shopping at my favorite store yesterday, Weggie's, and I stopped by their magazine isle to peruse the pregnancy magazines.

I'm here!! (waves hand)
It's been a long time since I last posted. Sorry again for the space between posts.
My time has been spent either on the couch or in the bathroom. I'm feeling ok. Some nausea, food aversions/cravings, insomnia, tiredness (I'm ready for a nap right after I get up) and gas. And that's all ok. I would walk on hot coals and eat live bugs if it meant having a baby. I'm not complaining just letting you know how I've been. I've ordered maternity clothes from o.ld navy and I'm very happy with my pants. I have a little belly even though I'm only 11 weeks. I had to laugh when the physician's assistant felt my uterus and told me it was larger than 10 weeks. There are two in there- lol!
Good news- I had my last progesterone shot on Tuesday! I'm so glad they are done. It was an evil necessity I understand that. I'm sooo not going to miss those long thick needles and my bum feeling like a pincushion and getting all bumpy.
We've had three appointments since I've last written. April 20, April 29 (my last with Dr. G) and May 3. The latter being our first ob appointment. The babies are doing well. We were bummed out on the 3rd because that visit did not include an us. We've been spoiled with Dr. G with those.
The high risk obs were supposed to call me within a week of my first appointment. When they didn't I called them. I was told that their schedule wasn't open for the last week of June and I am on their to call list. I was told during our first ob visit that I will be having at least two appointments every month: one with the reg obs and one with the high risk obs. I'm just wondering--what happened to my appointment with the high risk docs this month? I don't like not seeing the babies and getting checked out. As much as I pray for healthy babies and a healthy pregnancy I know that things don't always go that way. I wish I was being monitored more closely. Also I hate waiting. On a good note we can find out as early as week 16 the sex of the babies.
In other news I'm ready for the warm weather. Those warm days in April and March made me realize how much I enjoy them. Our patio furniture is out, the outside table and chairs are set up, I bought some veggies and herbs and I had my toenails painted. Bring it on!

Scary Monday
I'm sorry I haven't written. I was on bed rest again and our computer was out being updated.
Last Monday I was talking with another teacher when I felt what I thought was pee come out. I went into the bathroom and bright red blood was coming out. I was mortified to say the least. I wasn't having any pain but this isn't right I thought. I called Dr. G, who unfortunately was on the or, but a nurse told me I could go to the er. On our way to the er Dr. G called me and said they wouldn't really do anything for me if I went there. M asked if we could go to the fertility clinic and get an us there. She said we could. We decided to take a highway that didn't have construction going on. It goes right through my parents town. I had to go to the bathroom so we stopped in and my Dad came along for the ride. We got to the clinic and Dr. N, who is a fellow at our clinic, did my scan. We saw two heartbeats and got to hear them. She said everything looks good. There was some blood behind Baby B. She said it looked like it was starting to clot. I asked her what would cause the bleeding and she said it could still be the two placentas attaching or a blood vessel was agitated. I was put on bed rest until the bleeding stopped. I believe it completely stopped by Wednesday. I did take off Thursday and Friday because I was so tired.
I worry so much about this pregnancy. We waited so long and had to endure so much and we are still having bumps in the road. I could really use some uneventful times.

How I'm feeling
I'm starting to wrap my head around having two babies. I was always optimistic about things but I figured it would take a couple of tries to be successful.
I am very tired which I wasn't prepared for. It has also been 7 years since I've been pregnant. As M says, "You're not a young buck anymore." My boobs feel like they weigh 10 lbs each. I am loving meat and orange juice. I am a goodie eater but now not so much. Oh, and tomatoes and cukes with a little salt. Yum!
E is very excited about being a big sister. She tells me that she's going to sing to them and read them books. She's learning a lullaby on her guitar. I'm glad she will be old enough to help me.
The babies already have such a presence in my belly. I've waited so long for them. Going through the treatments, waiting until we had money, getting ohss--I would do it all again for them in a heartbeat ;-)

Introducing.....
Baby A
Baby B
We feel so blessed and are thrilled! I'm still in shock. I feel like I'm having an out of body experience. Your prayers and good thoughts/vibes worked and for that I'm eternally grateful! You are the best!

Us tomorrow
Tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. we will find out how many bambinos are in there. We'll be able to see the sacs. We may be able to see the heartbeat(s). I'm nervous because I want everything to be okay. I had some spotting on Easter. I called the re on call and they said it was the placenta attaching/growing. I did not and do not want to see any more spotting. It scared me. Keep good thoughts and prayers for us tomorrow. I will post after we get home from school.

Feeling better
What a difference from last week. Tuesday I went back to work. I came home and went for a nap. I was wiped out! Wednesday went a little bit better. Thursday we started our Easter vacation
Today I cleaned and decorated (a little bit) for Easter. I have some shopping to do like picking up cactus soil before I kill our aloe plant and Easter basket stuff.
Yesterday we drove to NJ and bought an Odyssey. It's a 2007 and had only 23, 000 miles on it. It was such a good deal. Plus I got a moonroof and heated seats ;-) It's a pretty nifty car.
I can not wait until Wednesday. I'm excited for our us. I pray that they are growing well and things look good. We might see a heartbeat.
Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. As always I appreciate the support of my girls ;-)
