Crappy Week

This whole week has been horrible.  I've waking up nauseous and feeling excessively tired... I'm wondering if I'm going through a growth spurt?  My tummy is still 36" wide, but my belly feels heavy. We met with our potential home builder today and signed up for Direct Buy yesterday.  There's so much going on.  I feel like things are such a blur. 

I can't wait until things slow down and return to a semi-normal pace. 

I hate this weird taste that is in my mouth.  I've been chewing a LOT of gum.  I rarely chewed gum before being pregnant. Now I have at least 2 -3 a day.  Hallelujah!  I no longer have to take any more extra meds... just my multi-vitamin and Iron supplements, plus Diclectin.

I'm really hoping all this nausea will go away soon.  Not sure how much longer I can really take this...

11 weeks and 2 days

 I can't wait until all this nausea goes away.  I hate not being able to wear normal clothes.  I have a 36 inch waist now. One of my friends suggested I create a time lapse video of my belly. What a great idea! I did take photos last week but I forgot to include the tape measure... now that I look back at the photos, I don't know how "appropriate" they look since I do look like a whale... =)

I did feel like crap this morning and still went to work... but at least I will take a day to recover tomorrow. I'm going for another ultrasound and NT (Neck Thickness) test next Wednesday. I feel like time seems to pass slowly when you're pregnant... maybe it's because I have feeling so "slow" and crappy...

It was funny when I found out a male staff member asked another female teacher if they had noticed me putting on extra weight.  To which, the female said, "What? You know she's pregnant with twins, don't you?"

My first trimester will be up next Saturday, so I can officially announce to everyone about my pregnancy at the end of this week and I will get to stop all these extra meds... how awesome will that be!

Getting Bigger

Yikes!  I just noticed 2 days ago that my belly button is disappearing!  I have also gained at least 15 pounds. When I went to visit my GP on Friday, she mentioned that I have the belly of 16 week single pregnancy!  I was only 10 weeks when I saw her!

We are settling into our new temporary home. It's not as bad as we had first envisioned it being.  We cut back and have brought the bare bones of what we need.  I guess we really don't need much... =)
Still feeling nauseous and I can't wait until these symptoms go away...
