12 Weeks


Our two little aliens are cooking away. This day at the OB they couldn't see sex organs because the umbilical chords are both between the babies legs. Still she thinks they are one boy and one girl. Not that I would be sad if it was two girls, but I'm dying for at least one boy! So I hope we get lucky! 

Apparently first trimester isn't over till the end of your 12th week. So I'm getting extremely close to be being in my second trimester. I'll be glad to be out of the first, but so far not much has changed mood wise, morning sickness is still lingering, headaches are full force so I'm not sure what relief I'll be getting in the next couple weeks. Hopefully some.

So next week I'll be excited to update on here. I have an appointment with my new OB. The people who will actually be delivering the babies. I also will be getting a non invasive ultrasound that tells you the risk of the babies having downs syndrome. But it's pretty unreliable so Ive heard. But I signed up anyway because I can't get enough of seeing my babies! Next week I also have my high risk appointment with a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. Not sure what they do at the first appointment, but my old OB is hoping they do an echo on each of the babies hearts. I was on some medicine in the beginning of my pregnancy that could harm their hearts, so I'm hoping for a good outcome. Which I'm sure it'll be fine since my doctor could see four perfect heart chambers on both babies, so thats a good sign. 

Lastly, I have gained quite a bit of weight already so I need to cut back just a tiny bit. Not doctors orders, but it's still true that I'm gaining too quickly. So I'll just be watching what I eat. (I'm bad and eat big macs on occasion... so maybe no more of those).
