13 Weeks

My last appointment was very exciting because I got to hear BOTH heartbeats.  The first heartbeat she found was in the 150s.  The second heartbeat was in the 160s.  My OB said I was 13 weeks and 2 days but I thought I wasn't even 13 weeks.  She said that our fertility center faxed her more records and based on my last ultrasound at 8 weeks my due date had changed to March 14th.  I measured 5 days ahead at that ultrasound so maybe that's why they changed it, but only by 2 days?  Oh well!  At least we know our twins are due in March.

I'm feeling great these days!  It's wild how the morning sickness and the exhaustion just disappeared after 12 weeks.  Some days I do not even feel pregnant, and I'm like "Aren't I supposed to be exhausted?  I'm pregnant with twins!"  I'm enjoying these days because I'm sure at some point in the near future I will feel pregnant with twins 24/7.  My doctor reminded at my last appointment that I do not have any restrictions just because I'm pregnant with twins.  I'm assuming that could change in the future though.

I do have one complaint: sleep!  I'm waking A LOT throughout the night to go the bathroom or just turn.  I've have a bump and I'm reminded of it at night because I'm constantly turning from side to side to get comfortable.

My next appointment is 4 weeks away, well, October 3rd!  We will find out the sexes at the end of October.   And then I will not go back for another month.  Appointments will pick up after 24 weeks and I'll start going twice a month, and I'll have an ultrasound once a month.  Yay!
