Cartoon just because...

Especially since I'm still in the first trimester...this could be a long pregnancy :\ 

First Blanket

So I've been trying to keep occupied and focused on positive thoughts while waiting for another ultrasound. So I made the babe or babies a blanket :) Took me two days, totally out of my head. I put the new reborn doll there for reference. She's about the length of a newborn. 

I'm focused on blue, pink and white for some reason this time around. I basically walked down the yarn aisle and this is what I wanted :) So this is what I'm doing. I still have the blankets (most of them) that I made for Em...but I wanted something fresh and new for this wee one or wee ones.

Belly Shot...

Not sure how far along I cam, but I've been bloated like this for two weeks...sucking it in just hurts, so I feel like I'm 40 weeks pregnant already :\ blah

TWINS?

So went and got my HCG levels and have an ultrasound. 

Levels are as follows: 

June 15th - 249

June 18th - 487

June 21 - 1029

So they are climbing like they should be :) 

So then there was the ultrasound today....

Do you see two sacs?

Look again: 

Yup...the tech said...looks like you might be having two! 

So after the spotting yesterday I did NOT expect to walk in with THIS kind of news, lol. But I'm okay with it :) We wanted three kids...so this sort of finishes it up for us :) I will more than likely need to go in for some more ultrasounds so it can verify things, but the other kicker is that we might NOT be as far along as we thought...I might have gotten the BFP literally at like three weeks along...so waiting to hear from the doc...

Light Bleeding

JUST ONCE...it would be nice to be in a first trimester with no bleeding...I guess this baby didn't want to be left out.

I had a major sneezing fit this morning...had some mild cramping after it, sat down for a bit and then went back to filling memory boxes. Went potty later to find some light red spotting. Ofcourse I freaked out. Jason is out of town and so I'm here alone dealing with this. Called the doc. She said to take it easy. Go in for my HCG and then rest. (which is sort of hard since my bed is covered with boxes). But then I go for an ultrasound tomorrow morning. So I will be a bundle of nerves tonight!

An hour after the fact and the bleeding has stopped and even turned more brownish. But this mommy will always worry...once bitten twice shy.

Morning--rather Afternoon sickness

So there really is NOTHING humorous about nausea :\ It seems to be getting worse by the flipping day. What once was just for a little while in the late afternoon is turning into most of the night. And I forgot to get gum today while I went shopping :\ It's now 10 and I still feel sick since like 2 this afternoon...looks like I get blessed with it this pregnancy...which is making me think boy but Em is convinced we are going to have a sister, but she also keeps telling me to bring baby Autumn home...so she doesn't quite get the baby is in ME yet, lol.

On the upside i did purchase what I think might make a really cute outfit for a series of photos for my belly shots :) So stay tuned :) lol.

And how's mom doing?

Choo choo! The same lame symptom train has arrived in Puke Town for up to 80% of pregnant women this week!To lessen your symptoms, buckle down and focus on cleaning up your diet. Skip greasy spicy foods, drink lots of water, eat several small meals throughout the day, take plenty of naps.

If you're like most pregnant women, you'll be feeling the typical oh-so-fun nausea kicking in some time this week. If you don't, then chances are you're in the clear - but don't blame us if we're wrong! There are always a handful of women who are officially morning-sickness late-bloomers with two weeks more to go before the nausea sets in.

You're more likely to end up with morning sickness if you're carrying twins (or more!), or have experienced it in an earlier pregnancy. Also, if you've ever experienced nausea or vomiting with birth control pills, then you can expect to have morning sickness with this pregnancy (and hopefully be pleasantly surprised when you don't!).

To lessen your symptoms, buckle down and focus on cleaning up your diet. Skip greasy spicy foods, drink lots of water, eat several small meals throughout the day, take plenty of naps. For those of you without morning sickness: bask in the fact you're just one of the lucky 20% of pregnant women who never actually experience morning sickness, you lucky non-puker, you!

Numbers Climbing :)

Got the call from the docs office. My HCG levels are going up so thats a great sign :) I go in for another round Thursday and then bloodwork and ultrasound Friday :)
