Twins - 12 Weeks

NO SHOW?! I am very surprised. I had wondered how much earlier I would start showing with the twins than what I normally do with a single baby, and 12 weeks was what I had guessed. Well guess what? I may not have a perfectly flat tummy, but I am smaller now than I have been in a few years. I can only begin to see a real baby bump if I lay flat on my back on an empty stomach and try to suck in. Everything moves inward except the cute tiny little spot under my belly button. I can cover it with the palm of one hand. Soon enough though, that will be just a memory :)

The pregnancy developmental calendar says the babies are each nearly 2.5 inches long. That means if you include the sacks, I basically have 2 soft balls floating around in there already.

My measurements today were:
135 Pounds
31" Right Across the Belly Button
34 1/2" Across the Hip Bones

I was definitely sick a lot longer this time, and I swear I have been nearly twice as tired as normal. Thankfully I have been feeling a lot better these last few days. Maybe that is why I am finally getting around to blogging.

I am done with my shots and I have been completely released from the care of the IVF clinic. I am now just a normal pregnant woman. Well... I guess I will be monitored closer since there are two little peanuts in there this time.

My first OB visit with my regular doctor is August 17th- the same day my kids start school. That worked out pretty well.

I may as well put in my 2 cents now. IT IS A BOY AND A GIRL. Because I said so. I have never been wrong yet, so remember that I said so. Lol.

Oh and last but not least.........HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARGIE!!!
