Week 12

Yesterday we went to the doctor to hear lots of wonderful news. Both of our babies are looking great with nice strong heart beats, 161 beats per minute and 165 beats per minute. They measured right where they should for their age and we got to see them wiggling around and kicking each other. I will try to post the ultra sound pictures in the near future.

With our twelve week appointment behind us, I finally feel like this pregnancy is real and that everything might actually work out. We have ultrasound/doctor’s appointments scheduled for the first week of November and the first week in December.

This weekend we will be going out to buy some more maternity wear to cover my growing belly. I think we will check out a few second hand stores and will hopefully find some deals. I hate to spend money on a new set of clothes that will only fit for the next six months, but I also cannot go without clothes. That would not be pretty!

My pregnancy symptoms have defiantly settled. My upset stomach seems to be gone for the most part and I am feeling much less fatigued. I have even been able to skip my afternoon nap the last few days, although I am still headed to bed no later than 8:00.
