The past few weeks have been really exciting because I'm feeling the babies kick me all day long. Jonathan's gotten to feel them too, which is great because it's so much easier to see this as a REAL THING now. It was real before, but now I have constant tangible reminders all day long.
Everyone is healthy and growing perfectly. Even me. I've gained 16 pounds and I don't care about sharing that. I weigh about 150. I'm sure I have a long way to go in that aspect, but that's okay with me. I feel pretty good for being pregnant! I can't complain because I know some women are just miserable all day, everyday, and I can't say that about myself.
I am starting to see the OB every 2 weeks instead of every 4, which is a pain, but also nice. I get to keep updated on how the pregnancy is progressing. I'll also get to see my little ones every two weeks because they do an ultrasound just to find the heartbeats each time. It's too hard to find both heartbeats distinctly with the doppler they use on one baby. Most people don't get an ultrasound every two weeks, and I'm even going to get to go for the longer ones every 4 weeks at the imaging center too. That's where they print the pictures out for you. Saturday we got 11 pictures of each baby. Feet and hands and spines and brains :)
Jonathan and I also registered at Target too. I did most of the picking-out, but it's exciting to think about all the fun stuff that goes in the nursery!
Overall, things are going well. School makes me exhausted, but I have a good husband to take care of me and wait on me when I get home and need to sit down and relax. He feeds me too, and that's been really important!! I've been having back pain and heartburn and all that, but it's nothing I can't handle. I don't sleep all that great, but I do get sleep. I'm feeling pretty good and starting to like being pregnant! I like my maternity clothes and I love getting to talk to people about the babies. It's exciting :)
