Baby has arrived!

Moving along now

Well I made it to 21 weeks.  I'm still feeling sick most of the time but I'm so glad I have made it past the half way point. I'm on the downward slide now. Such a great feeling.  My belly feels tighter now and my whole body feels tired all the time.  My arms are aching just typing this!

Yesterday I had a great talk with another mother of twins. She was great and very helpful. I feel heaps better about a lot of things that were bothering me.  Or at least worrying me.  I also watched a twin caesarean on TV yesterday which went wrong but turned out OK so I'm feeling better about the possibility of that option. 

I am feeling them move alot more now.  I really like the sensation.  I could just lie and feel it all day.  They are still sitting really far back so I'm still not out very much  which is annoying since my pants dont fit but I still dont really look pregnant!  I'm getting some pins and needles in my fingers quite a bit now but the doctor said that was normal carpal tunnel syndrome and happens alot.

I was at the doctor the other day and I asked him a question abut something to see if it was normal.  He replied "I don't know I've never been pregnant."  Such helpful advice!

But I'm feeling better about everything and I have Monday off because I broke down on Thursday and worried my boss a bit because I couldn't stop crying.  So I'm going to spend monday lying on the couch and enjoying it very much.

Ultrasound

Had my ultrasound today.  However despite how much I poked, prodded and coughed (until I wet myself) they refused to cooperate. It took over an hour but the radiographer has asked me to come back next week to see if we can finish it then.  She couldn't even give me a photo as they were all so hard to distinguish.

It was great to see them up there moving and all.  They look fine.  All the bits she could measure were right on target.  She also told me what the sex of each baby is.  At the moment I am going to keep it as my secret.  But it is exactly what I wanted.  I'm really happy tonight.

Tomorrow I get my bedroom carpet - finally.  I am so looking forward to setting up the nursery.  Everything is worked out in my mind.  I hope it ends up looking that good.  I'm sure it will. Especially when I add the finishing touches - two beautiful babies!

I've decided that I will tell my class about the babies on Monday.  I'm getting a bit fatter and they need to know not to run up to me and smash into my stomach for a hug.  One of my boys got very upset yesterday. He found out that the other pregnant teacher was having a baby and was concerned that she had swallowed it!

Its definite

Yes that was definitely movement I felt.  I felt it again later last night and again today. It kind of feels like muscle flutters.  Today's was up kind of high - higher than I thought really. I think Huey was standing on his head to kick.

Its weird. I thought I'd be extatic when I first felt them move but I still feel sad a lot of the time.  I wish I felt better about the whole pregnancy.  I dont want them to think that I dont want them because I really do.  But sometimes I feel so sick I just wish it would hurry up and be over.  I'm so tired all the time and I just want to tell people to go jump most of the time.  And I have now entered the extremely fun world of haemmorhoids.  I'm still in the middle of renovations and that is bumming me out alot too. 

And today the Salvation Army lady came to get some furniture I didn't want and she couldn't believe I was 4 months pregnant with twins. I still dont look pregnant. Just fat.  Fatter.

I think I felt movement

It was a weird feeling and I'm not 100% sure but I think I felt them move. 

I hope so. Cant feel it anymore. It was very quick.  But I think that's what it was.

Thay moved!!
