Week 11

11 weeks, that is apparently how long you can keep a twin pregnancy secrete from a group of observant 8th grade students. Today during my 3rd period the cat came out of the bag when one of my students raised his hand in the middle of my lesson on multiplying integers to ask if the rumors are true… That I am pregnant with twins. So the pregnancy thing I understand, but for my students to come up with twins too ! Anyways, it was the talk of the day as I shared my news with all of my afternoon classes. I really wanted to wait until after our doctor’s appointment next week, but what is done is done.

I have to apologize that I didn’t get a posting created last week, I have received calls and emails from concerned readers wondering if something was wrong because I didn’t write. Everything is fine; I just had a really rough week. For the last two weeks I have been so tried. Last Thursday I became REALLY stuffed up and had trouble sleeping. I called the doctor on Friday and was told that I could take Suda.fed for my stuffy nose so that I could get some sleep. I am still struggling with my stuffy nose, but I am avoiding taking anything because even though the doctor said it was a safe, I still worry. I have officially gained 6 lbs, all in my belly. My all day sickness seems to have gone away, which is exciting, but also makes me nervous… At least when I felt sick, I was confident that things were still going well in my belly !

I am excited to go and see the doctor next week and passing the 12 week mark. I will probably wait and create a posting next Thursday, after our doctor’s appointment.
