So, a week from today I go in to the doctor again. I've had a week to digest the news that we're going to have two babies instead of one, and I feel like I'm doing a little better. I know I will have my good days and my bad ones, but for right now I'm doing alright. I'm a little nervous about my upcoming appointment. I'll be going in for an early glucose test because on my first pregnancy visit, my blood sugar levels were a tad elevated. My doctor didn't seem too worried about it, even though I am obese. I think because I've had no troubles with gestational diabetes with my last two pregnancies, she figures I'll probably be okay with this one. She just wants to be as cautious as possible with me, which I appreciate.
I am just about 14 weeks this week and I am showing. With the boys, I showed lower than I am with these babies. I am showing very high up, and my tummy is very tight. I have felt babies move, mostly on my left side and low. It felt like both babies were squishing my bladder at one point this weekend. The last two days I've had some pretty extreme nausea early in the day, even with my medicine. Even with the nausea early, my appetite later in the day has increased a lot. I'm trying not to overindulge and only eat when I know I am legitimately hungry to keep my weight gain as little as possible. I feel pretty good about it so far, a lot of twin blogs that I've read talk about weight gain starting even earlier in the pregnancy than I am now. I am still, as of last week, down over 10 pounds.
I will be updating more in a week when I find out the results of my glucose test, and hopefully I'll have some more news about the twins. I'm hoping to get answers to a BUNCH of questions that I have now. :)
