How Far Along: 12 weeks
Size of Babies: A large plum (they measured within 2 days of each other on Wednesday...with baby A being the bigger of the 2)
Wt. Gain/Loss: I've lot 20 pounds so far...hopefully I won't lose anymore!
Clothes: Shirts and dresses I am still wearing my regular clothes, but am wearing maternity pants (except in my scrubs). I don't want ANYTHING touching my stomach right now...
Gender: Don't know yet...maybe we'll find out in 3 weeks when I go for my in depth sono.
Movement: Haven't felt them moving yet, but I can tell that my bladder is most definitely being used as a trampoline!!!
What I Miss: Crystal Light and Diet Citrus Green Tea
Sleep: Seems like it's all I do if I'm not at work.
Symptoms: Nausea 24/7 (but not actually sick, thank goodness!), Tired, and having to pee all the time.
Cravings/Dislikes: I've been really craving fruit this last week and the thought of eating meat or hummus turn my stomach, although I have been choking down meat and am hoping hummus sounds good again soon b/c I absolutely love it most days.
Best Moment of the Week: Watching/Hearing/Reading everyone else go through their own version of shock just like we did on Wednesday at the doctor finding out that it was twins and getting to see both babies and their precious little heart beats on Wednesday.
Baby A (the one on the left)
Baby B (the one on the right)
I think that some of the shock is starting to wear off...maybe! It still seems surreal anytime I am talking about the babies and say "they or their". We were comparing bellies at work the other night between myself and several other girls and I just had to laugh that I am already as big or bigger than the girls who are 8 weeks further along than I am! We started re-thinking the nursery this weekend and I started cleaning out the office which will become the nursery over Christmas. Thankfully we have great family members who are passing down cribs, so we already have 2 cribs and don't have to worry about that. Now to just pick the right shade of lime green for the walls. The bedding will be different black and white patterns, lime green, and then for a girl pink and for a boy turquoise/orange. If we have 2 girls we will probably do one pink and one purple and then one turquoise and one orange for 2 boys.
I still need to do a post about football season so far, so I am going to end this here and hopefully I'll get Billy trained a little better before next week, so that my weekly picture looks a little better!!

We have an appointment next Wednesday with a specialist to find out the gender, then my regular Dr. right after that. 9:30 a.m.!
Have you tried Unisom for your nausea? Both of my sister's swore by it...and my Dr. recommended it to me, but I couldn't keep it down long enough for it to work! Maybe it would help since you're not actually throwing up! He also told me B6 would help too...I didn't keep it down either! I'm still throwing up in the mornings, but doing much better throughout the day! It's nothing I can't handle...so I'm okay with it!
I bet you could pretty much positively tell the sex around 16 or 17 weeks...my Dr. just sends you to a specialist so they wait until 20 for other reasons. You're going to need as much time as possible, knowing what they are (with twins)
