UNBELIEVABLE!!!! :o)

Had my appointment with the specialist today!!! Super fun appointment...my mom was here...my sis drove in....and DH was there...lol...I brought a whole crew! We got to look at the babies for a good 30 minutes while they did all the measuring and everything. I even drank half a milkshake beforehand so they would be extra wiggly...but they didn't move too much...they must have been sleepy!!

Baby A was really stubborn so she did the measurements on Baby B first (who was sucking away on its thumb!)...Baby B is measuring 13w 6d...little FATTY!! :o)

Baby A decided to finally somewhat cooperate....measuring at 13w and 1d.

So OF COURSE I asked her to take a guess at the GENDERS....sooooooooooooo....do you AGREE??!!! :o)

After the nurse left, the Doctor came in and said he was DEFINITELY sure that Baby B was a BOY!!!! And Baby A wasn't cooperating again...so we'll try to see again next time! *sigh*

When I came home from work later today DH had these two little outfits waiting for me....AWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

He kept the reciepts of course...just in case my little "girl" ends up being just a late blooming "boy"!!! :o)

Oh happy happy day!!!!!!!!!!

Does this make me look fat?

I can't tell you how many people commented on my belly today...this shirt was the most belly accentuating shirt ever. I even had someone reach out and touch my belly for the first time...that was WEIRD. Especially since I'm not completely sure that its babies making it get THAT big...I think I'm just getting a little tubby too...so I'm a lil self conscious still.

Plus I'm like...they're not up that high yet...and people touch around the belly button area...and my button is still an innie!! Very much so. (in other words...babies aren't pushing it out...so it must be chub right?) Or maybe the babies are just pushing my intestines up and out...and so people are rubbing my intestines. Nice. :o)

This shirt is not a maternity shirt...but once again one of those lovely shirts that are supposedly "in style" these days that looks maternity...I have lots of them in my wardrobe so that's nice!! (mainly because when I wasn't preggo and definitely was getting a bump (from being depressed) I didn't want people to wonder about me!! So big shirts cover little bumps....but not my bump now!!!!!!!)

Anyhoo....just wanted to share that with you...now I need to make some dinner!!! Or maybe make DH make dinner...yeah yeah...I'll sit on the couch and watch Kin.g of Q.ueens....

Spoiled.

Yay for Fall!!!

I have been to three farms in the past three days!! The weather has been so lovely...and Fall-y that its been perfect farm weather!

Saturday, DH and I went and dug up our own mums...not as easy as it looks...the roots are WAY smaller than the bush!! And the bush is only held up by this little stem...that snaps quite easily...but we did allright!

Yesterday I went with my friend to take some belly pics (she's due in two months!!)...it was a beautiful day and I needed to get out because I was vomiting from 6am to 12pm...not fun. I was weak, but with the fresh air I felt wonderful. I had no other flu-like symptoms so maybe it was just hard core morning sickness?? I usually feel pretty bad at that time...but eat a TON...yesterday...not so much.

Then today my kiddos had a field trip to a farm/petting zoo! I am all farmed out!! It sure beats sitting in a classroom though! That's for sure!!

I'm so jealous because my friend Denecia got to go to our specialist Dr. today...I have to wait until the 15th!! But she got to see her little kiddos in 4D and so I'm SUPER excited to go to my appointment!!

The nurse and the Dr. even made guesses at different times about the genders of her twins....and they both said the same thing!!! I'll definitely have them doing a little guess when I go! Plus my mom will be in from the other side of the country, so she'll be really happy if she gets to be there for that news!! My friend said they'll be able to tell her for sure at her next appt. in the beginning of November...and she'll only be 16 weeks! WOW!! I'm curious to see if their "guesses" where right on!

Other than my little vomiting spree yesterday I'm doing allright...I think I have a little more energy than before...but I'm still going to bed at like 8:30 and waking up at 6. I haven't been waking up in the middle of the night to pee as often...or to eat...which is nice because I get more solid sleep.

Oh and my dreams have all been very happy pregnant dreams now!!! I have a little belly and I'm showing it off to all my family in my dreams....its a lot of fun!! :o) I like these dreams!

Guess I just needed to tell people! That did the trick!

Happy Fall Everybody!!!

Cats out of the bag...

I did it. I told my work...most of them knew already...but here's what went down today (BTW I'm SUPER hormonal...maybe because of the lack of hormones?? No more inserts..YAY!!)

I get to work...(after vomiting my brains out...hair in ponytail..no time to blowdry...so what else is new)...and its a little after lunch when one of my coworkers tells me that the reading teacher just told her that she (the reading teacher) just got reamed out by the principal because she (the reading teacher) congratulated me on my pregnancy when she shouldn't have known because it was a secret. So the reading teacher thought I went to the principal and told her I was upset.

Yeah...that's how I roll...NOT.

I told my TEAM that I was annoyed because people keep congratulating me and I haven't told them....and used the reading teacher episode as an example...and guess that got up to the principal and she felt the need to "ream" her out.

Interesting.

So I went straight to the reading teacher....told her I did NOT tell the4 principal that...and that she needs to come to ME if there's an issue..not tell someone on my team because that's how all this rumor stuff happens anyways....and how my business (and other people's business) gets spread all over the school!!! I was about to cry about all this....because it was just getting annoying to keep my secret...and people were getting "reamed" out over it.

DRAMA.

So I asked the principal if I could send out a mass e-mail (we're not allowed to use the school e-mail for personal use) and say: '

The rumors are true...
TWINS are due!!

She said that was fine...and so I did....and I feel so much better!!! Now everyone knows...and it just feels good....everyone kept saying they suspected anyways...but its nice to not be all "secretive".

Since I didn't take my endometrin today my abdomen has felt a little tight...maybe its just my imagination...and maybe things are just stretching but its making me nervous. I hope my body has what it takes to take over where those hormones left off!!!

Praying Praying...

Yay for three day weekends!!!!

Boo for nausea.

I definitely needed this three day weekend....this was the worst week of my life. I felt sooooooo awful...nauseous, sinus headache...dry heaving all the time....really tired. And hubby was out of town for the whole week...so I had no one to take care of me. I never realized how spoiled I really am.

I'm still nauseous...pretty much from morning until early evening. It is not fun. I try to eat and eat...and to eat good healthy stuff...but half the time only the non-healthy stuff will go down. (Pizza for lunch....chicken tenders for dinner...nice) I did squeeze in an apple...and a yogurt smoothie...but ugh...I'm tired of feeling sick. At least I'm not vomiting....but maybe that would make me feel better? I dunno.

I had a horrible nightmare last night. I dreamed that my babies didn't make it. I went and got a d&c...and then I had to call all my family and tell them that the babies were gone. It was a very graphic and horrifying dream. I kept rubbing my belly...just like I do now...to feel my baby bump...and while it was still there, I knew I was empty. It was the most horrible feeling in the world.

Why am I dreaming dreams like this? Why am I not dreaming about holding my little ones? In the back of my mind I'm scared of what could be...but I hope that's not the predominant thought thats running through my head. Though my dreams would say that it is.



We've bought stuff for our little ones (at the yard sale)...but I still feel like I can't run into the store and buy something....and I haven't told everyone at work (though everyone has pretty much figured it out)...I feel like I can't tell until I'm 12 weeks...but maybe I should just spill the beans...that way I can feel like a "normal" pregnant girl...instead of one waiting for something horrible to happen and not telling just in case.

Not sure where all this negativity is coming from...maybe because I'm exhausted...and getting over being sick. I'm too tired to do anything fun...so I just sit around the house mainly. Maybe I need to try to get out and have some fun. I wanted to go to church this morning...but the nausea was too bad...I couldn't get in the shower. I don't know what to eat or what to do to make it better...and I'm tired of "suffering through it" to get to work...seriously...its bad when you're trying to teach and your throat is open and ready to projectile vomit at any second...or at least it feels that way.

Okay okay...I'm complaining way too much. I've always wanted to be preggo...and I'm blessed with being doubly preggo...but I am hoping that the second tri gives some relief...and that I can enjoy feeling actually pregnant instead of feeling like I have a sickness that I just can't kick!

Maybe I'll go buy myself some comfy maternity pants...I think its about that time. Its so uncomfortable now...and the belly band is ok sometimes...but I want to be completely comfy!! And I need some new pj/lounge pants...all mine are getting too tight in the waist...and they're elastic!! yikes!

Here I am at 10 weeks...I think I'm rounding out a bit more....the little bump is almost as far out as the big bloat one...lol.

Oh! And only one more day of INSERTS!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYYAYY!!!! I'm so over those nasty things!!!!!!!!! Yuck yuck yuck!!! I know I was so blessed to not have to do the shots...but the inserts are definitely nasty!!

DH asked me the other day if it was wonderful not having a period...and I told him that I didn't miss the pain I was in, but now I just feel sick ALL THE TIME....and I'm pretty much shoving a "tampon" in twice a day...and wearing pantiliners 24/7 so I may as well be on my period!!

Once again...yay for a three day weekend!

First OB appointment!

Here are my little nuggets!! They are doin' just fine! I was quite surprised that they did the sono...I was expecting to just hear the heartbeats...I was so excited!! And my lil sis was in town for the appointment so it was fun for her to see as well!

Now I'm nursing a cold...and its AWFUL...I've never not had medicine and this whole not being able to breathe out of your nose thing day and night is totally STINKING. I'm going to lay down!!

JACKPOT!!!!!!!

We went to that Moms of Multiples yard sale today...can we say JACKPOT???!! I probably bought way too much...but I got it all for about $150....so what can I say??? I had to go for it!!! I also got a maternity black pea coat that I didn't take a picture of. Here's the goods!

Nice Double Stroller Skeleton thing...that you clip the car seats into....nice and lightweight.

Pac-N-Play!

Swing/Cradle and a bathtub plastic thingy...I really don't know what all this stuff is called!! :o)

Matching twinners little mini swings...easy to transport...maybe will be useful when mommy is trying to put her makeup on and decide what to wear??

Okay this was a freebie...from a gal I babysit for...she also gave me a breast pump! My children will not be lacking seating!!!!! ;o)

A cute Eric Ca.rle onesie...the hungry little caterpillar. I had no idea they made things like this!! I need to find its twin so the kiddos can rock it when I visit work!!

Oh...and I also got a belly band supporter "thingy" (I'm using that word a lot here...) just in case my belly is just WAY too big...I dunno...better to be prepared I guess. And we're going into the winter months which means NO YARD SALES....I hate that!! Had way too much fun today...after I got over the morning sickness of course...the past two mornings have been horrendous. Not sure what to do about that...but vomiting never felt so good. Ew. At least I feel better afterwards!

First OB appointment on Tuesday....YYAYAYAYYAYAY!!!!!!!!! Belly is still growing...under the big bloat bump...that's a little encouraging that hopefully they're doin' ok in there...as long as they're getting bigger I'm happy!!
