16 Week Check In

Lately I've been feeling really tired. I've been sleeping a lot and not just a light nap. I'll go to sleep and be in stage 4 quickly. However, strangely, I wake up 2 or 3 times during the night to use the bathroom. I also wake up every once in a while to a mean leg cramp ouch! On another note, I now feel my babies moving and it is the best feeling ever.

I'm pretty sure my OB's office is annoyed with me because I think I switched doctors 3 times since I've been pregnant. I really want to ensure that I have the best doctor for my twins and they wont refer me to a high risk doctor because there is nothing wrong. I think that reasoning sucks because twin pregnancies are naturally considered high risk. Next year i am switching health plans.

Yesterday, I was bored at work and decided to humor myself. The security guard came over and asked me "So when is your baby due?" I responded, " Oh...I'm not pregnant." Oh poor guy, his whole demeanor changed. I then told him I was joking and proceeded to laugh hysterically. That certainly made the day move along more quickly :O)

13 weeks Preggers

I'm so excited to be in the last week of my first trimester. My twins are doing fine and I am sooo grateful. I went to Toronto Canada this weekend for a girl's trip and after being in the car for 3 hours I noticed that my feet were swollen! Totally freaked me out because I was not expecting that to happen so early in my pregnancy. Apparently they are down now so praise God for that. On another note my skin is super sensitive with this pregnancy. My eczema is finally starting to clear up after several months but my face still has red patches and I have what looks like sun burn on my chest. This is crazy! I've always prided myself on having nice skin and it is completely rebelling through this pregnancy. My teeth are also SUPER sensitive. Normally I love to eat spicy foods but it actually causes a lot of pain to my teeth and gums now that I'm pregnant.  I guess if those are the depth of my problems I'm doing pretty well. God is being sooo GOOD to me. I pray frequently that they will be healthy babies and that my husband and I will be the best parents we can be.
