| June 16, 2001 Still not much going on. My spotting is gone again and I'm hoping it doesn't come back. I'm just waiting for my ultrasound on July 3rd. I'm very excited about that. I wish we could tell the sexes this early, but I know that's impossible. I've been trying to find a good book on twin pregnancy, but nothing really looks good. Most of the books I've seen have a couple of chapters on the pregnancy and the rest is about the first year. I obviously won't be raising these guys so I would like to find one that deals with the pregnancy only. My tummy is getting big now. I have not gained any weight yet (which is normal for me at this point). I was a little surprised this time though because it seems like I eat all the time. I'm always hungry. But I guess I'm eating healthy things and small snacks so maybe that's why I'm not gaining yet. I'm 11 weeks 1 day pregnant June 17, 2001 It's nice not feeling so tired anymore. I'm not filled with energy or anything, just not needing a nap 2 or 3 times a day!! Yesterday was the first time I forgot to take some of my vitamins. I've got to say I'm a little surprised I haven't forgotten before. I've got what I call "pregnancy brain" where I forget EVERYTHING and I can't seem to figure the tiniest things out. And with the vitamins I have to take the calcium one seperately from the prenatal because they can't be absorbed together, so it's 2 things I have to remember instead of just one. Half the time I'm surprised when I remember to put my shoes on before I leave the house! lol But I think I drank enought milk yesterday to make up for the missed vitamin anyway. I'm 11 weeks 2 days pregnant June 21, 2001 I'm going away for the weekend tomorrow. Jason has an armwrestling tournament (provincials) up north so I decided to go with him to have a little break from the kiddos. The only problem is that it is outdoors and my seasonal allergies are acting up. Dr. L says I'm not allowed to take anything for it at all during my pregnancy so I just have to tough it out. So it looks like I'll be carrying my little box of kleenex around with me for the whole weekend---how attractive! My cravings are now for rare steak. I never used to like it with even the slightest bit of pink, but now the rarer the better. I was worried it wasn't safe to eat during pregnancy, but as long as the outside is cooked properly, it's fine. This just applies to steak, not to things like hamburger or chicken---ewwwww! I ordered a twins book today. I finally found one that seemed okay, but the stores here don't have it. So it'll arrive in a couple weeks. I can't even remember what the exact name of it is--it's something like "when you are expecting twins, triplets, or quads" Boy am I glad I'm not carrying quads! Still no morning sickness! Wooohooo! I'm 11 weeks 6 days pregnant. |
