18 weeks, 1 day

WE ARE HAVING TWO GIRLS! I was so excited! I knew all along. It is weird how I had some sort of mother's intuition. Our two little babies look perfect. I was a little worried...



Yesterday, starting at around 8 A.M. I was having some pretty bad cramps. I chalked it up to being one of the babies must have been pushing down on the bottom of my tummy. At around 1 P.M. I went to the bathroom and saw a lil' bit of blood. I was so worried. I called my husband and he automatically freaked out. He wanted me to call the doctor right away and call him right back. I called the nurse and after being on wait for 30 minutes; they scheduled an appointment for me. I went in but the doctor did not see anything wrong. She listened to both of the heartbeats and they were perfect. She did a check done there and that looked fine as well. She told me since my ultrasound was going to be for the next day, we would just wait and see. I was a little scared but for some reason I just knew that everything was fine.

The next morning was really hard. I was so excited for the ultrasound that I woke up at around 3:30 in the morning and could not really go back to sleep. Also, I was going to be getting my blood drawn for a fasting gluclose test so I was starving! Finally aroun 7:00 I rolled out of bed. I got my husband and daughter up and suprisely the morning went by pretty quickly. I went and got my blood drawn ( I have to add that I love Kaiser for the type of needles they use; it doesn't hurt at all) and then my appointment for the ultrasound was at 9:00. They were running late so the nurse didn't actually call us back until 9:15. By that time I was shaking with excitement. We hadn't seen our babies since our 12 week appointment so the second that I saw them together was wonderful. They were perfect. They were kicking, moving and punching each other! The tech checked everything and they seem healthy in every way. They are 9 ozs each and 8 inches long each. I have so much baby inside of me already. Crazy! She checked my cervix and both placentas and has no clue why I bled a bit. She said that I am doing perfectly. And of course, we are having two girls. This makes me estactic. Even though I kind of wanted a boy just because I don't have a son yet, I have known since the beginning of the pregnancy that I was going to have two girls.

So I am going to be the mother of 3 girls! It is amazing and scary all at the same time. I was thinking yesterday what it will be like when they are all teenagers. Scary! I am just so happy and relieved that everything is ok and everybody is healthy!



This morning, although I was a bit nervous, I was so excited. I just felt that everything was going to be ok. My daughter got to come to the appointment with my husband and I.

13 weeks, 5 days

I had such a great weekend, spending time with my family. My grandparents came up from California for my brother's high school graduation. It is always so fun when my papa and grandma are here. I spent the whole weekend with them and had a blast.

As for my week in pregnancy, it has been different than lately. I haven't really been feeling sick just EXHAUSTED! I feel like I want to sleep constantly. Earlier last week I was feeling like the morning sickness came back but it has settled again. I just want to sleep. Give me a bed and a pillow and I am good. My tummy is getting gigantic. I can't wait until I can really feel the little ones. The biggest change is that my colustrum came in this week. I didn't expect that so early. With my daughter I don't think it came in until I was 5 or so months along. My husband and I noticed the other day. I have also noticed that I am extremely cranky. I feel like biting people's heads off. Haha! My appetite has come back and I am afraid that the weight that I kept off for the first 3 months has come! UGH!

Anyways, here's looking to week 14!
