Second Pregnant Picture

Not much has changed. Still small enough for people to think I'm just fat :)

14 Weeks and Counting

I figured now would be a good time to share all of my pregnancy symptoms since they're in full swing. I feel like I'm constantly battling sickness & can hardly wait for this period to end.

I have no energy - I'm always taking breaks in between doing anything that requires energy. I can't go from doing dishes, to making lunches, to sweeping, to something else or I make myself sick. I don't feel out of breath, I just get extremely nauseous.

"Evening" Sickness - In pregnancy books they always call the sickness morning sickness, but I always feel the worst at night. I have a hard time making supper, which I need to eat, & nothing sounds good. I'll throw up more at night than in the morning, as well.

Burping - Man oh man! It's like I'm a teenage boy. I feel like I'm constantly burping & if I don't, I'm liable to throw up. I know that when I'm able to burp, things will be okay. Otherwise, it's straight to the toilet.

Throwing up - Something I do not like to do. I started off okay, but now it's gotten worse. I keep praying that it will end soon because it is no fun!

First Pregnant Picture

Since we don't have family around to see the daily changes, I sent my first pregnant picture out :) There wasn't a lot to see, but everyone loved it!!

The Whole World Knows

We decided to share the good news of our twins on Facebook. I never realized how many friends I had :)

Second Appointment

We had originally scheduled our appointment for this coming Friday, but figured that it would be easier if we knocked it out earlier in the week.

Well, we got to the doctors on time & went to check in. The lady at the front desk was a fill-in & checked her roster for my name. Of course it wasn't there! Kurt was like, "No way." We drove a hour & a half to get there, there was no way we were going home without an appointment. The girl said that she was full, but we were having none of it. At first she said she'd ask the doctor when he got in, but then decided to add us anyway. We still had about an hour 15 minute wait & there wasn't really anyone behind us.

The appointment went well & fast. We don't usually have a lot of questions because we're not sure what to ask. Dr. Pichardo told us that everything looks fine & scheduled us for an ultrasound at our next appointment in February. We're both really excited to see what the babies look like! I can't image how much they've already grown. I'm not very big still, but I know it's coming :)

Cravings

Well, I've been having some cravings, but not for anything healthy :) I'm loving all things salty & often feel like Mac n' Cheese for dinner. Of course there's always pop. This is the best right now because the carbonation helps with my burping problems (which I'll talk about later). It's not like I can have a lot of any of these things, but they always seem to go down really easily. I enjoy what I can because it's still really hard to eat in the evenings.
