6 weeks

Went to the doctor yesterday and she finally prescribed me some zofran! I saw the doctor I usually saw with my last pregnancy and she remembers how miserable I was with all the morning sickness. Love her! We also scheduled another u/s on April 1st! Here's hoping to see TWO heartbeats and little beans!!

OMG, it's twins!

So I went for my u/s yesterday, just to make sure the pregnancy wasn't ectopic since I was having a lot of cramping, and the instant the vag cam was put in, I thought I saw two sacs. I turned to the tech, and said, "Um, did I just see two?" She replied with, "Yes, I think so, thats what I am going to check now."

It was the most surreal moment of my life. I am sad that my husband was not there to share it with me, but we never thought he'd need to come to this appt. The tech was the sweetest, nicest woman and was so happy for me. She definitely made me feel better about not having my husband there.

I then had to go upstairs and talk to my doctor's office and schedule another u/s for next week so we can hopefully see two heartbeats.

After I left all the phone calls began... I promptly called my husband, who did not believe me, but then finally responded with, "Uh what are we going to do!" I then saw MIL since she had picked up Abby from daycare. She was ecstatic. Then I sent my mom a pic of the u/s and sent a text with it that said, "We love you Grandma". She called me not believing me! So by the end of the night, not only did my whole family know I was pregnant, but knew it was twins. My uncle, who has 3 boys (8 yr old and 5 yr old twins) reminded me that it's very early and something could happen. I am very well aware of the whole vanishing twin. So for now we are very excited, nervous, panicking, but we are cautiously optimistic that come November (or late October) we will have two healthy babies.

Dr. Meanie became Dr. Nice

So today I had an appt with the doctor I disliked the most! I saw him twice during my last pregnancy. Here is the background... It was an appt during my second trimester, almost into the third. It was also my first appt while back at work (after being off for the summer). All my previous appts were first thing in the morning before I ate, but this one was at about 5pm. Not to mention I had transitioned back into fall clothes so I was no longer wearing skirts, tshirt and flip flops.. I was wearing cords and a cardigan. Anyway, I ended up "gaining" 12 lbs in one month. I later weighed myself with no clothes and it was only up 4lbs, but thats besides the point. So he totally gives me the weight lecture, blah blah, blah. He was so mean about it and duh buddy by looking at me, you can tell I've had weight issues! So I made sure to not see him again until the end of my pregnancy when I had no choice. He was fine then.

This pregnancy I vowed to not see him. Of course I made my first appt and it wasnt until April 20th. I have had really bad m/s and new I wouldn't make it another 5-6 weeks without some zofran. I called and they got me an appt with Dr. Meanie. I sucked it up and thought okay, I just need the medicine. Anyway, fast forward to today's appt. He was so incredibly nice!! Of course I totally threw it out there that I am concerned about gaining weight as I am starting this pregnancy higher than the last one. He was very encouraging and told me about some patients who were very careful and gained little to nothing. He also wants to see me back in a week to check my weight (since I lost 6lbs last week from not eating). Then because I mentioned I've had cramping, he scheduled an u/s for Thursday! I left today feeling like I probably misjudged him! I am glad he changed my mind and now have no problems seeing him during this pregnancy! Just had to share my joy of no longer disliking this doctor and getting an u/s later this week!

So excited for baby #2!!

I didn't do such a good job of keeping track during my first pregnancy, so I decided to keep track better this time!!
