Update & Comparision

I hit 8 weeks yesterday and am happy to report I am feeling pretty well overall. I still have food aversions and some mild nausea but nothing horrible. I keep being warned that with twins nausea is usually worse but luckily I am doing okay on that front. Mostly, I am incredibly tired. I am slowly accepting my limitations and am so happy my job involves sitting down. We were supposed to travel this weekend but I couldn't do it. I had a horrible headache that started Friday night and lasted into Saturday afternoon. I was completely knocked down. I finally was feeling a bit better by Saturday night.

I seem to crave red meat and fatty things. I would say my two strangest "cravings" are wanting cow's milk (which I normally never drink) and grapefruit juice. I am really thirsty all the time. I have some aversions when I think about food, but they will come and go. Overall, it's not been so bad.

I decided to pull out the ultrasound photos from last round, just to see the difference. Week 8 is when we found out the baby hadn't grown and there was no more heartbeat. I am anxious about this week but also feel this good that this time has been different and hopefully will have a different outcome. Even though I feel awful sometimes, it is still hard to believe that I could really be pregnant and end up with a healthy baby.

I also made an appointment with a regular OB for Wednesday, May 8th. I am excited to "graduate" to that stage. We hope for continued good news this Wednesday and hope to have a few more pics to share!
