Pregnancy at 11 weeks....

Well I am at 11 weeks and I am starting to feel better! Not 100%, but a lot better than before. We have our 12 week sonogram next Thursday (Oct 16) and our next Dr. Apt the following Thursday (Oct 23). We are so ready to see our babies again!

Although I have been super sick and I have a belly bigger than some who are already close to 20 weeks, It still seems unreal that I have two babies in there! I told Chad I am just ready to see them again so I can reassure myself everything is OK...I worry constantly that I am not doing enough, or doing something wrong. I just need to see them and hear their sweet heart beats and I will breathe a HUGE sigh of relief! At least for a little bit, then I will be waiting for the next sonogram!

Poor Chad. He has to put up with so much. My random moods, my emotional cry fests, my random taste in food, never knowing if I want to eat it until I see and smell it, sickness, headaches, sleepless nights, back pain, cravings, pickle snow cones, clam chowder, pickles cookies and many many other random not attractive pregnancy issues! He has been wonderful! Never complains, gets me anything and everything. He takes care of me everyday and constantly worries about me and the babies all day long.

I am so very lucky to have him and our babies are so lucky to have him as their father!!


Just a thought: If you ever meet a pregnant lady, and this is her very first pregnancy..PLEASE refrain from awful scary stories! All you do is freak them out and cause them to stress.


EXAMPLE:

I was minding my own business when a lady I once worked with walks up to me to congratulate me on my pregnancy. We started talking and this is how the conversation went:

Her: How far along are you?

Me: 10 weeks

Her: When is your next sonogram?

Me: At 12 weeks, so excited.

Her: Oh. Well you know I was pregnant?

Me: um no I didn't

Her: Yes. had a DNC a few days ago.

Me: oh my goodness, so sorry.

Her: Yeah, went in for my 12 week sonogram and there was no heartbeat.

Me: (a dirty look) wow.

Her: yeah, so be prepared., It happens a lot is what my Dr said.

Me: ( a really bad look) OK.



Moral of the story is...don't be that girl!
