I know I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been trying to keep myself together. With the nausea finally subsiding slightly (not completely) and after several trips to the hospital I can finally put my fingers to the keyboard.
So it appears I have that extreme form of nausea that Princess Kate had. Awesome. After three days of a migraine where I couldn’t eat or drink anything I finally went in to the hospital and got an IV which seriously put life back into my body. The doctors had confirmed at that point that my body was starving and dipping in to my calorie reserve…aka…eating my own fat. I didn’t realize it was that severe but again..with twins…I gotta eat more, which is so not easy. The great news about always going to the hospital is the weekly or every other day ultrasound. Get to see those sweet alien faces 🙂
After that lovely visit I started gulping down Ensure shakes that most old people drink but are packed with calories and protein. I eat donuts, eggs, anything I can get my hands on to push calories in. I’m finally putting a little bit of weight on and trying to regulate myself a bit better. The only one who can help me, is me…right?!
On another note…that DAMN blood clot is still bothering me. After weeks of no spotting I started bleeding again. Terrifying enough. This pregnancy has not been easy. And why should it be? Over 7 years of TTC, $40k down the hatch, and a plethora of injections for this needle-phobia girl…why should anything be easy at this point? And people wonder why I’m not religious….
My belly has been growing quite a bit. Granted, I have two babies but man oh man! I look like I’m 5 months! (I’m only 4 now…or 16 weeks in the pregnancy world.)
In other news, my neighbor who has 2yr old twin girls gave us a bunch of her old stuff. Car seats, 4 car seat bases, swings, jumpers, stroller things…I mean she just saved us so much money by doing that. Incredible! I’ve been slowly going through everything and getting the baby room in order and read for furniture. It’s just all so expensive and when you have to buy two of everything…yikes!
Anyways, life is going on and I’m traveling out of the country this weekend until the second week in October to visit my husband’s family. I hope I can survive a 9 hour plane ride! Here’s hoping!!
