We had a big scare today....the scariest day of my life this far ( yes scarier than when i was in the hospital in 08... because i was out for most of it lol)

I had a bleeding incident around 130pm, and rushed to the dr's office. The babies look good! heart rates are awesome!!! (THANK GOD)......We got to hear the heartbeats for the first time today! I cried my eyes out! it was awesome....my dr was even crying!!!

I go back tomorrow for another US and to make sure everything looks good!

Baby A's heartrate is 154 and baby B's is 167!!!! can't wait to find out what the sexes are!!!

Today is my 3rd Ultrasound! I can't wait to see how my beans are growing! Dave cannot go with me today, as he went back to work after 3 rocky weeks.....Hopefully we will get his paycheck this week from 2 weeks ago.....

I am very tired this am, but feel great! no sickness as of yet, just a little nausea here and there....I guess i am lucky.......for now.......

Happy St. Patty's day everyone!!!! hope you all are enjoying your green beer and cabbage!!!

I felt ok today, it was a long day, i didn't sleep well last night...the crazy pregnancy dreams keep waking me up.

I have to say that i am very surprised that i am not feeling any worse...(knock on wood)...my dr said that usually with Twins you get sick X2....so lets hope this doesn't get any worse.....

My cousin found out she is having another boy today!!! that makes 7 boys on my mom's side of the family from cousins.....hmmm i wonder if that means i am bound to have boys??? I will be happy with either girls or boys!!! Dave said yesterday that he wants boys...he says they are easier.....

only 8 more weeks until we find out the sexes of our babies!!! maybe sooner!!!!

Today i am having a rough day.....The drs upped my insulin AGAIN!...i just started it last night and its not making me feel very well....and then i met with the Diabetic counselor yesterday again and i feel like i cant eat anything. I am starving all the time because i can only have so many "carb servings"....but everything has soo many carbs in it. Its so overwhelming , and depressing, and every time i think about food i cry.

for example..like tonight...i made spaghetti...and according to my paperwork for my "carb restrictions" i can only have 2 ozs of cooked noodles..

2 friggen ounces.....what is that going to do for me...NOTHING...it didnt even put a dent in my hunger

And thats not even with the sauce on there...i could only have 2 tablespoons or something like that of the sauce.

I told the lady that i am starving....and she said that i am not eating enough.....UGH...its a friggen catch 22...i eat something, and it goes over my "carb serving" but then i dont eat enough?? she told me just to read labels....well i am reading labels and i am still so confused. I dont get it. I dont understand....maybe i am dumb...i dont know...I am crying right now just talking about it.

I had my second ultrasound today!!!

TWINS!!!!!!!! i couldn't be happier than i am at this very moment!!!! 2nd baby is already stubborn and didnt want to be found!!!! Saw both heartbeats today!!!

Baby A 100 BPM, Measuring 5 wks 6 days at 3.1mm

Baby B 114 BPM, measuring 6 wks 1 day at 3.4mm

What an amazing experience getting to see their heartbeats!!!! i bawled my eyes out especially when i saw there were 2 in there!!!!!

Today i had my 4th Beta test. at 27dp5dt my numbers are 21,764. Right on track!!! The nurse said that i should be able to hear the fetal tones on Thursday at my ultrasound!! I can't Wait

On a somewhat negative note.....I feel crappy today...very nauseous. Tired, and i layed down but woke up feeling worse. I am happy to be nauseous though!!!! :)

Tomorrow needs to go by fast!!! i can't wait until Thursday!

I also had my consultation with the Diabetic counselor today...i have to start testing my blood....and watching my carbs!. I was freaking out about a little tiny poke in the finger...funny cause i have to inject myself with a 1 1/2 in needle 2x a day, but the little poke scared me lol.... It didn't hurt though! I have to record all my blood levels and everything that i eat!

Tonight my mom is taking me shopping for some new work clothes....mine are all ratty......not going to buy alot though cause idk how big i am going to get!

Today was an ok day, i am super tired.....i just got home from work around 7, and am sitting here with a stomach ache...its kinda like my stomach muscles hurt!!!

But yet...i am happy!!!! and will take each pain, or wave of nausea with a sorta smile on my face!!! i just hope that this is the worst that it gets!!!

Can't wait until Thursday when i can see my little bean again!!!!! And hopefully hear the heartbeat!

3/4/10 ultrasound pic.....5 weeks 1 day

they found one baby for sure....POSSIBLY 2...i am sooo ecstatic... They said that the second one looks like there is a sac growing in there....YIPEE!!!...

My next US is scheduled for next thursday!!!!!

I also have to see a diabetic therapist on Tuesday, because i am borderline diabetic. I have to start pricking my finger! fun stuff!!! I also have to see a hematologist! So.....a perinatologist, hematologist, OB, and a diabetic counselor...UGH!! thank god for good insurance!. They also said that they might classify me as a gestational diabetic right away which means even more appts....but it will all be worth it!!!

I am feeling quite nauseous today.....chocolate milk isnt helping for some reason....it usually always makes me feel better......Can't wait until tomorrow when i go for my first Ultrasound!!!! hopefully they can tell me how many beans are in there!!!! and then my worrying will hopefully go down a bit!

I have a work meeting tonight after my shift, and i am not looking forward to it....hopefully being tired and hormones do not cause me to say anything i will regret!!!

March 1, 2010

We got home around 6pm, and i was exhausted! SO...around 7pm i went to bed, and actually slept through the night without waking up to go to the bathroom!
