Now that I got my work issues off of my chest I can talk about the things that make me happy in life. I felt that this needed its own post because I do not want any of my negativity towards my job to rub off on my beautiful babies! I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and happy to report that I feel awesome. I had headaches every day for about a month straight but (knock on wood) none in last few days. Besides the headaches, I'm exhausted. But that is it!!!! I do not feel nauseous (sp?) at all. The doctor says that all is well and at our appointment the babies were definitely growing and moving! I guess I am just one of those lucky pregnant people. (Before any of you who were sick a lot get annoyed at that comment, think about what I went through to get here - it is similar to the people who told me that "they weren't even trying to get pregnant" or "it was an oops baby") I deserve one easy part of reproduction! If it makes you feel better I have had to get up to pee in the middle of the night every night since before I even knew I was pregnant.
My stomach is definitely sticking out more, but until my belly button pops out I just kind of feel fat. Wes picked me up two of the tummy tubes, or bella bands, that hold up your "normal" pants. That was a god send. Today was my first day that I didn't have to rush home to change into my jammies because I was so uncomfortable. I can just leave my pants unbuttoned and the band holds them up! Amazing! Wes also got me a really cute shirt that says "Baby makes the belly go round". I love my husband more than anything!
We go to our regular OB on Friday for our first appointment with them. We are actually only meeting with the nurse to go over medical history and all that jazz. Our first appointment with the doctor will be on the 25th. I cannot believe how fast this is all going. At that point I will be 11 weeks! Time flies when you're having fun.
My only negative experience so far during this pregnancy came when we were down visiting Wes' family. One of his step-mom's family members decided I would probably want to hear about all of the sets of twins that she knew where one or both of the babies died. She rattled off three different stories to me about this. Common sense should have told her to shut her mouth and think before she said something really thoughtless. I didn't know what to say and she had me backed into a corner. I just kind of nodded and walked away as soon as I could. Looking back I would now have asked her how she could possibly think I would want to hear that. But I didn't so now I just know that I will be staying away from her at all family functions and not speaking to her about my pregnancy. If you don't have enough common sense to realize that would be a really stupid story to tell a person who is carrying twins, then I have nothing to say to you. Thank you very much! Look at me go I'm all nerved up again. Time to relax and unwind so that I can enjoy what is left of my evening.
