since I have been here. I had some nausea for a while, but the doc has been tapering me off of the prometrium and Estrace, so I think it is somewhat resolving. I had been on the PIO shots for up to the 7 week mark, IIRC. Then I stopped those and only took Estrace twice daily and Prometrium three times a day. Then it was Estrace once daily and Prometrium three times daily. Right now it is just Prometrium twice daily, and I will call this AM to find out if I can even lower that. I have also been plum exhausted from work, which kind of puts a damper on the blogging. There were definitely some days where it was all I could do to remain vertical.
Things are going well for us these days. I am at 9 weeks as of yesterday. We had a repeat US; Baby 1 had a HR of 179 and Baby 2 had a HR of 187. They also grew in size, and they are measuring on target! Whew! I am loving these two week US appts. Right when I start getting truly paranoid and thinking the worst, I get the reassurance I need. I don't know what I am going to do when it goes to a monthly type of thing.
For a while I really struggled with worrying about the pregnancy. I was always thinking the worst, and I hated myself for not enjoying things more. I have made up my mind to not spend my long-awaited pregnancy like a frazzled worrywart. I am doing everything I can to have a healthy pregnancy (except for eating fish--I just don't like it, so I take Fish Oil) so there is reassurance in that. I decided to celebrate yesterday by purchasing my first maternity shirt (on sale, even! --there is a shop in the building the doc's office is in) and a new bra. My current ones are just not cutting it. They are getting way to snug, and it really hurts to unsnap at the end of the day.
Hope all of you are doing well!

I'm so glad that the twins are doing great, growing and having great heartbeats! I can't even imagine how you're feeling being pregnant with twins. I'm only close to 6 weeks and I can't keep my eyes open at work. Let alone be farther along with two! I'm glad too that you've found a little relaxation with this pregnancy, it sure is hard to let go of the worry, isn't it? Here's to a restful weekend!
Hi girl! I haven't been posting either -- with my new job, I'm just too exhausted. I am so glad to hear everything is okay with you! Keep enjoying this time as much as you can! Thinking of you...
Glad you're back and glad the babies are on target!
You'll be in full maternity before you know it. With twins the growth happens quickly once it gets going.
I had a tough time posting in my 1st trimester, too. It's difficult when you're just trying to eat enough, drink enough, sleep enough, and stay awake enough. Growing twins feels like a full time job in itself!
