Cravings and a bump and a check up!!

I went in for a checkup yesterday and was so happy when the midwife did an ultra sound. I thought we were only going to be able to hear the heart beat but she told me with two it sometimes it difficult so she would rather do an ultra sound. Fine by me!! We heard two strong heartbeats. I am just so in love with these two little ones growing inside of me. They were so close together the nurse said all look they love each other already. (Cue water works) They are cuddled up nice and tight right below my belly button. I think this is adding to the intense vaginal pain I have been experiencing. It looks like the Dr. wants me to start wearing a maternity band. I think this is a good idea because this weekend I went to the mall for all of about a half hour before the pain in my legs and vagina were so intense I could have cried. I think I may have waddled to the car. The midwife said with two often times the stretching happens so rapidly it causes a lot of pain. Hopefully this will help because I was really hoping not to waddle for a few more months!

On to my cravings that I didn’t think I was having. I was feeling out my baby journal when I came to the question about craving I told DH I haven’t really had any cravings. He looked at me like I was crazy. I was like what?? He said how about the other day when you called me asking me to pick up watermelon, mangos, lemon and chili powder? Oh yeah I forgot about that. I had this dire need for watermelon and lemon and chili the other day and the urge hasn’t really gone away. So I guess I was wrong, I have had a few craving but, I’m still not going to count me baking cinnamon rolls at 9:00 last night.

 Here is a picture of the bump…..

To date I have gained 3 pounds which I guess has gone all to my belly!

I dont think I can keep it a secret much longer

Guess who popped out over the weekend!! This girl!! Seriously I went to bed on Saturday night felling bloated and just plan fat and literally woke up pregnant! Well I was already pregnant but you know what I mean. It was the craziest thing I was really uncomfortable in my body all day on Saturday and Sunday bam there was a pregnant belly. I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth Sunday morning and DH walked in and said and I quote “what’s that” haha I wasn’t sure what he was talking about than I looked at my stomach. I turned to the side and I think I asked myself the same question. It is crazy how quickly it happened. When I laid down on Sunday night DH said it’s not going down haha I told him I don’t think it’s going down for at least 6 months.

Update and a question?

I will be 12 weeks tomorrow. It’s still hard to believe IM PREGNANT. I went in for our NET scan yesterday they said everything was good and both measured perfectly. Baby A was pretty stubborn and refusing to stretch out for the ultrasound tech. I could tell the ultrasound tech was getting frustrated. She said Baby A was nice and comfy. After about a half hour or her pushing that probe into my stomach, repeatedly! Baby A finally stretched out. I could see the relief on the techs face. She said I really didn’t think we were going to get the measurement I thought you were going to half to come back. All the pushing freaked me out I know the babies are safe in there but she was really pushing. I asked her if that was normal and she said “YES, when babies are comfy they don’t want to move and sometimes we have to really work at it.” My parents called to see how the appointment went and my dad told me Baby A is a girl and stubborn just like her mom!

 It has been so amazing to watch the transformation of our babies the last few months, yesterday I actually seen fingers! I am in awe of what is going on inside my body. It’s still crazy to think that I have these two little babies growing inside of me and I don’t feel them. I can’t wait until I feel that first kick!

I have a question for you ladies. What do you say if someone asked if you’re pregnant and you really not ready to talk about it? For the record if someone has not told you there pregnant it’s because there not or they don’t want you to know! I was asked the other day if I was pregnant. I was sitting in my office with my door shut having lunch when my co-worker walked in. She asked how I was doing and if I was sick. I told her, no I’m not sick just a little tired. She stared at me and said are you pregnant? I got a little flustered I had no idea where this was coming from and just said I’m not sick. She looked at me and her word “I want to know, are you pregnant?” I was a little taken back and then said, yes. She said “Oh yeah, you can tell in your face.” This is not a co-worker I am close with and we don’t even work in the same building. I kindly asked her not to tell anybody, she said why aren’t you excited? I explained to her that I was very excited but we are still early on and I wasn’t ready for everyone to know. The whole conversation was just really uncomfortable, I felt cornered. This isn’t the first time I’ve been asked “Aren’t you excited.”  It really makes me feel bad of course I’m excited!!
