OB Visit #2

Babies are doing well.  They are still measuring bigger then normal. 

They did see that my cervix is short or small or something like that.  This I guess is bad because this can cause premature labor, blah blah blah.

I'm back on progesterone to help keep the cervix where it's at or hopefully stronger then what it is. 

I feel like the babies are going through a growth spurt.  At 16 weeks I'm finally up a few pounds and I have a definite baby bump.

Otherwise life is good. 

I hope all is good with everyone in blogland.

Small Update

Not a whole lot happening but here's an update anyway.

My wife made the pregnancy "Facebook official". It was very sweet and everyone is very happy for us.

My morning sickness has progressed to actual throwing up daily.

I have a definite baby bump now but thankfully I still fit in most of my clothes. But I'll admit maternity jeans are much more comfortable.

That's about it in my work.

Baby Update

Yesterday was 13weeks 2days. I had my first OB appointment and ultrasound.

The BABIES are doing GREAT! They are active and moving constantly. Their little arms and legs are moving and they are flipping around like little performers.

Twin A is on the left head down. Twin B is on the right head up. They are measuring bigger then normal. Twin A measured at 14weeks and Twin B measured at 13weeks 5days.

I previously posted about my bad experience at my OB office when I went to see them at 5 weeks because of some issues I was having. So, I went into this appointment a bit on edge and cautious. I'm happy to say the Nurse practitioner I saw redeemed some of the ill will I had from that last appointment. She was really good. I left with everything spelled out and my entire treatment plan set.

I really needed this appointment and ultrasound.  I really needed to see the babies, see they are doing well and that all the sick days and exhaustion is actually for something. 

First Trimester is OVER

Today I officially start my 2nd trimester.  I'm officially off all fertility drugs and feeling a little better.

I have an appointment for an ultrasound next week.

Things are good.

Update

Things are going well.  The extreme exhaustion I have been feeling for the last few weeks has been getting better.  The rash I had from all the hormones at weeks 4-6 is gone.  I'm getting bigger but the scale hasn't gone up which is good.  But it's hard to gain weight when your nauseous all the time.

Life is good.  I have the best wife in the world that is taking very good care of me.  I'm very lucky.

Almost all of the family knows about the babies.  There is only one side of K's family that we rarely see that doesn't know but we are seeing them the end of July.  By then I should be showing pretty good.

I've already started buying maternity clothes.  I'm not finding a lot I like but I want to be prepared.  All I keep getting told is with twins I'm getting to get bigger faster and I don't want to be left with nothing that fits because I hate to shop.

My last appointment at the fertility doctor I believe will be next Wednesday.  I should be fully released after that last blood test. 

My first OB appointment (and next ultrasound) is July 8th.

I hope all is well out in blogland.  Until next time.
