14 weeks!

Happy 14weeks!

Well to me and the twins anyway :)

I'm officially in 2nd trimester! WOOT WOOT!

I'm feeling a bit better. Still got medicine in case I get sick. Still taking naps.

The bump has set in too! It's not too big, but it's enough for me to not fit in other clothes anymore.

Currently I'm working with 4 dresses. Perhaps I need to shop?

I got a little doppler to hear their heartbeats when I want. Little did I know they are SOOOO deep and hard to get to!  I've heard one here and there. I think they move around too much. I think I can hear it maybe 10 seconds and then off they go.

I'm starting to have a little tailbone pain when I sit too long... perhaps where the are at right now is affecting my tailbone? I'm not sure yet.

But I'll be into the doc on Monday for a check up to see whats going on with them.

No ultrasound- that's coming up in a couple weeks! We get to see what they are :)

Yep, that's right- we plan to find out!

I managed to start registration. I got the cribs, and dressers picked out. The Carseats and Stroller (S)

YAH I need 2!  The 1st couple months I'll need a frame piece to help me with carrying 2 car seats so the Double Snap N Go has to go on the list! However I am trying to do some consignment shopping for it, so I can get it used.  I seriously will be done with it within 2-4 months!

After Strollers, CarSeats, and Cribs I needed a nap.  I'll go back to work on more later. Niki is going to help me figure a lot out. THANK GOD! Buy Buy Baby is one overwhelming place!

We're heading out to Arizona next week for a week! Should be nice. I'm looking forward to the change of pace. The 1st trimester was very groundhog day style for me.  Wake up, sick, tired, fight the sick, not wanna eat, but eat, eating crap because healthy food makes me gag, so did the crap though!!! Then going back to sleep. AHHHH the joys of the 1st trimester!  Seriously though, I started to feel guilty because I want to have the littles here so bad and this is part of the process!

Now I'm embracing 2nd trimester, starting to enjoy everything, getting excited for the upcoming months!  I love Fall, and the holidays are always great!!!

We're expected to be moved into our new home by November!  Thank God because I imagine with twins I might start nesting early on!!  Lord knows they're going to arrive early on!

Here's a picture of me- 14 wks right before I got my hair done! AHHH to be human again! Fresh Color, Fresh Cut! I feel MUCH better!!!

More updates to come on the Weise Twins growth soon!

11.5 Weeks

I dont want to say the first trimester has been a blur.... but... i can't lie. It kinda has.

I get sick fairly often. If it's not hugging the toilet then it's sitting in my chest and I'm fighting it to stay down.  Sorry for the details but that is how I feel like 24/7.

When I could not keep water down anymore I got my hands on zolfran the med that is amazing!!!
It like instantly cures your sickness!

When you're sick- you dont take down water or food and well we need to hydrate especially in this summer heat.

Chicago has been god awful this year for weather. According to the news it has been the worst summer in 5 years. I've never so badly ever wanted fall here so fast!  I CANNOT WAIT!

Chili, Pumpkins goods, Cornbread, Soup!  YUM YUM!

I'd say my main craving at this time is Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I hit up Panera A LOT!
Sometimes I add in a salad with it. But Soup has been amazing for me! Yes that's right HOT soup in July!!!

So we've seen the babies a couple times now.  This past week was great- they were sitting breech and putting on a show for us! Baby B was a lot more active than Baby A- so naturally Baby B takes after me right?!?! hehe!

Their heartrates are at 156 & 160 and they're size was 11w2d and 11w3d. Which was a couple days ahead- no complaints there! Bigger is better :)

I've been told I'll delivery early- I'll be interested to see if that happens. I was also told my delivering/labor options.  My gut says I'll end up with a C but perhaps natural will happen. Depends on how they are faced!

It's cool- everything has been great news!  We finally told everyone and with social media being the way to get news- sooner than your own channel 5- Facebook Official and the word is out!

I'm grateful to have a stay at home job- although I've struggled the past couple weeks because of my exhaustion and sickness. It's nice to have that luxury so I can work when I need to and when I dont need to.

I'm not sure what my plan is once they arrive. It'll be a busy time is all I know. I dont want to pressure myself to get work done, but I also have goals I'd like to meet!  I'm sure I'll find a balance with time. Thank God I can work from my cell phone :)

Our house looks to be selling now- looks like we have a couple more weeks until we have to move. Our next house isn't ready yet- so we are looking at moving downtown with MK for a little while until our house is ready.  I believe in November.  I'd just like to be settled before they arrive!! It could be super early or later on...  of course I've heard a million stories- 28wks, 30 wks, 34 wks, 36 wks, 38 wks.... that basically puts me on Dec 2012- Jan or Feb 2013!

I'm just taking it one day at a time and praying for the best- 2 healthy-safely delivered babies on the right date!

I'll leave you with some pictures from the last ultrasound!
