Babies are: about 3.5 inches long.
Weight gain: 5 lbs! well. i lost 4 lbs and now have gained 5. so i'm 1 lb over my pre-pregnancy weight.
Maternity clothes: no. but i wore jeans for the first time a couple days ago and they were way too tight. ha.
Sleep: i sleep well until about 2-3 am and then i wake up to pee and can't fall asleep for the next 2 hours and then scarlett wakes up at 630 and i'm exhausted.
Favorite moment this week: first would be on thursday when we found out at least one of our babies is a BOY! ahhhhh. we're so excited. and then monday when i had my first really, really good day of feeling decent and getting out of the house with some quality time with scarlett and having our house cleaned thanks to a dear friend....that was all so good for my mental health. and then yesterday when we got to see our babies wiggle around! i'm still in awe that there are two babies in there. scarlett was so happy to see them...she especially loved hearing their heartbeats! she kept asking to listen again. (baby A's HB was at 167bpm and baby B's at 153...also the tech guessed that baby A was a boy but couldn't get a look at baby B so we will see). they are measuring well...growing. and my cervix is also measuring well so the perinatoligist was happy with everything. he also gave me the run down of what to expect....lots of appts in our future.
tonight is also my last dose of progesterone! no more shots in the butt for me! and stopping that should also help these sucky symptoms let up. i'm so excited about this.
Worst moment this week: i think it was friday that i had the worst headache ever and threw up multiple times because of it. and also cried all day because of it. and also got mad and fought with alex about something silly because of it. or maybe that was just me. it was a miserable day.
but the good far outweighed any bad this week :)
Miss anything? not really this week.
Cravings: salad. salad almost always sounds good.
Symptoms: i've been getting more headaches. usually really mild except for that one. i have only thrown up a few times this week! nausea has been very mild. if i don't sleep a solid 8-9 hours at night i am completely exhausted the next day....so that's most days lol. peeing more. some constipation. all fun stuff.
Looking forward to: feeling these little ones move! i cannot wait. it's my favorite.
scarlett sometimes rests her hand on my belly and says "i'm holdin the babies". i'm really looking forward to her being able to feel and see them move.
