First trimester is officially over! This week has been slower and I like it! We had a great appointment with one of the OBs in our practice on Monday and are so glad/thankful/blessed that our twins are doing wonderfully! I have been amazed this week at the outpouring of love Jay and I and the babies have received from friends and family. The other day a really nice giant stuffed teddy bear arrived in my classroom from one of my cheer parents. Another sent me a picture of her glider and offered to give it to us. A teacher at school gave us a brand new pack and play and a friend of my mom's (much younger than my mom) gave me a huge bin of maternity clothes! I am so thankful to have all of these giving people in my life! With two babies on the way we certainly appreciate all the help!
I printed our gender reveal invitations today and am so excited to get them in the mail tomorrow. Here's a peak at what they look like! (I blacked out all of our personal information) I love the classic/vintage look and can't wait to print out the rest of the party items!
We also made a decision about our cribs today! A 15% off coupon floating across the pottery barn kids website was the little push we needed to pull the trigger! We're heading over to the store this evening to purchase our cribs. I'm so excited to buy something for the babies besides white onesies! Here's another picture of the crib we decided on.
I also desperately need to start taking bump pictures (fully clothed!). Hopefully Jay will take one or two tonight and I'll be able to post them later.
Pregnancy Highlights:
Today's Date: Wednesday, January 11th, 2012
How Far Along: 13 weeks
Size of babies: Babies are the size of peaches.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Down 3 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight (same as ast week but down a pound from the last time I was at the doctor)
Maternity Clothes: Yes! I told my kids (specifically the girls) not to make fun of me if I wear the same thing over and over again!
Gender: After Monday's heartbeat slow downs I'm convinced they are both boys.
Movement: Still can't feel the babies move. Hopefully in the next month or so!
Sleep: I'm having CRAZY dreams that are waking me up! Last night I dreamt my parents got divorced because my Dad was joining the army, yet they were still living together and acting like no big deal?! Crazy! I woke up crying and went back to sleep and the dream continued!
What I miss: Cooking and energy. I'd love to be able to start working out but this rain has put a damper on my plans.
Cravings: Nothing really this week. I actually got a coke icee and didn't finish it.
Symptoms: The morning sickness is starting to go away! I didn't have to take medicine two days this week. The dreams and hard tummy are becoming my new symptoms.
Best Moment this week: All of them! Learning the babies are healthy, planning this party, ordering cribs :)
