14 Weeks!! Out of 1st Trimester!!

I'm done with the 1st Trimester...YAY!!! I'm so excited to be over that hurdle and I know there are more to come but that was the biggest one for 1st time moms. I've been feeling good and really feel gratefuly on how well I've felt. Through the 1st trimester I only had a few symptoms...little night sickness (never threw up), headaches at night, and minor aches and pains in my sides. Other than that, thats it. Oh I still don't like meats!! Yuck!!

My puppies...Liberty & Ringo still haven't noticed or cared that mommy has 2 babies inside of her and still attempt to sleep on my belly. Its quite funny when I'm pushing them off they look at me like "Don't you love me??" Its so sad :(



I'm trying to stay fit thru the pregnancy so I've recruited my co-worker to drag me with her everyday for a 20 min walk. Its been very refreshing and I think good for me and the babies. I also finally purchased Prenatel Yoga by Shiva Rea...awesome!!! She has herself and 2 other ladies doing the moves and depending on what trimester your in thats the lady you follow. So Shiva is doing the 1st trimester, Bridetta is doing the 2nd trimester, and Poppy is doing the 3rd trimester. I would highly recommend this DVD to other women that are expecting as long as their doctor had ok them for excercising. Which yes mine said it was fine to do.

I started browsing the internet for baby stuff and crib bedding these past few weeks. But now being in the 2nd trimester I hope to get up to my local Babies R Us and look at things hands on. It should be fun... ;)

The babies are roughly 3-1/2" long and 1-1/2 ounces and they are streching out. They are able to move and kick me but I cannot feel it yet. They also will be able to start sucking their thumbs this week too!! So cool!!!

My next OB appt is next Friday, February 5th and I will do another update.

The wait is over here are my latest belly pics...

Here is a pic from Maternity Shopping with the Bump pillow underneath...


Here is how I told work...

1st Ob Appt.

I had my first OB appt last Tuesday. I know I know...I'm bad at this blogging stuff. I'm hoping I'll get better as the months go on...we'll see. So I had my 1st Ob appt last Tuesday and it went really really good!!! My doctor was excited to see me pregnant finally. She gave me a bunch of information and the book "What to Expect When your Expecting" for free, AWESOME!! I also got a U/S and will get one every time I go due to having twins. Its easier to see the heartbeats via U/S then try to hear the heartbeats on the doppler and know which one is which. At 20 weeks I start seeing a high-risk OB for bi-weekly U/S to check the placenta's, umbilical cords, and babies growth. Then at 24 weeks I will start seeing my regular OB also bi-weekly and then at 30 weeks every week. My next appt is Feb. 5th...it seems so far away.

I told work when I got back from the appt. And everyone is very excited and shock that it is twins. Of course they don't know how they were conceived but that doesn't matter let them think and wonder. Don't bother me and it can't either.

Then on Tuesday night mom took me out and we went shopping for maternity clothes. As I was growing out of my pants and my shirts are tight in the belly area. We went to the Huntley Outlets to Motherhood Maternity and there was no one there that night. So it was nice to have my own personal shopper. The sales lady was wonderful and picked out most of the tops. They also had a belly pillow to try on under the clothes to see what you look at 3 months from now...I have a picture on my phone I'll have to upload onto here. I told the sales lady that when the times comes for summer clothes I want to come back when she is there so she can see my process.

That's about it. I'll be 12 weeks this Friday and I can't believe it!
