I seriously think I am allergic to pregnancy! LOL When I was pregnant with my daughter, I sneezed basically from the time that she was conceived until the moment she was delivered! With these babies, the sneezing didn't start until around week 5 of pregnancy. Now, I am sneezing and itching like crazy. I think I am allergic to pregnancy!!! LOL I love these babies so much but this sneezing and runny nose is getting on my NERVES...plus the itching!!! The itching did stop for a couple of days, but it has started back for some reason!
About the morning sickness, I haven't had it again since the other day. I have been nauseated, but haven't gotten sick. I have been having some weird cravings lately though. The other day I wanted a bean burrito from a convenient store so bad...ya know that kind that is greasy, crusty, and hard? LOL That is the kind that I wanted! Yummmm....YUCK! I did eat one and it made my stomach hurt so bad afterwards. I never eat fried foods, so I don't know why I was craving one of those burritos. I have also been craving sushi, which I know I shouldn't eat while I am pregnant. I never even liked sushi before I got pregnant. LOL These babies are something else! I wonder what my next cravings will be!!! Well, I gotta get going. I will add more later on...

Ahhh, the dreaded Morning Sickness This morning I woke up to the dreaded morning sickness! UGH! I was laying in bed this morning, not wanting to get up, and I was thinking that it would be wonderful for me not to have morning sickness this time around. When I was 8 wks along with my daughter, I had HORRIBLE all-day sickness. Everything I ate or smelled made me sick. I got up and made a few phone calls and then called my mother back and I felt it coming...It was horrible. I do NOT like this part of pregnancy. I could completely live without it. I hope I don't get sick anymore today. I just ate a bowl of cereal, so I hope it stays down. I am supposed to bring my mom out of town today to get a new stove. Tomorrow is my daughter's E.N.T. appointment, I hope he figures out why she has had tonsilitis 5 times since October. I think she may have something going on with her ear also. Well, my little princess just woke up and came in here wanting breakfast. I will add more later...

Itching like crazy!!!!
I started itching really bad a couple days ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with the palms of my hands and the bottom of my feet itching horribly bad. It kept me awake for about 2 hours. I have been itching worse and worse from day to day. My OB told me at first to take a Benedryl (which didnt help) and then she said it was due to hormones. I am about to claw myself to death!!!!! This is so aggravating! My hands, feet, legs, arms, chest, breasts, armpits, scalp all itch like crazy! I need to go to where I just quit working to sign some paperwork and pick up my last paycheck and I am embarassed to go there because I am itching so bad. My husband even asked me last night if I had fleas. HAHA I have heard of women getting this in their last trimester of pregnancy, but not their FIRST! UGH! I hope this goes away soon!

Doctor Appt. Yesterday I went to see my OB for my official first prenatal visit. I have lost 4 pounds and I no longer have a UTI & kidney infection like I did last week when I went to my family doctor. I guess the Macrobid worked! The nurse practitioner wasn't going to do an ultrasound at first, but then decided at the last minute that she would. She let us see the babies move around. We saw their little arm buds and leg buds. They were moving all around in there. My mom went with me to help keep an eye on Madyson while I was being checked by the doctor. She was so excited when she saw the twins on the ultrasound. She kept saying, "Oh, my God! I see their little arms and legs and heads!" LOL The appointment went well. I am planning on changing OBs though, to one closer to home, but if I don't like the new one (have an appt set up for July 24), then I will see a couple other OBs, and if I don't like them, then I will stay with the OB I am with now. He is who delivered our daughter and I have been seeing him for over 3 years now. I feel like family there...they all know me and are so excited we are having twins. When I was getting my blood drawn yesterday, just about the whole staff was in the lab talking to me and then they went to the room where Madyson was singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." It is so sweet that she can sing it all by herself. She sings, "Tinkle, Tinkle, Wittle Staw" LOL. I just love her so much. She has become pretty protective of me lately, well, of my stomach actually. LOL She doesn't want anyone near it or touching it. She says it is her babies. Well, I am going to hop off of here and go take a shower. We are going grocery shopping and going to look at a house that is for sale that I looked at last week when my husband was working. We are really interested in it. Hopefully we can get the loan for it. I will add more later.
