I’ve wanted to take a yoga class for quite a while. I have a million excuse why I haven’t actually STARTED but decided now was the perfect time to start. I did a quick search for some pre-natal yoga classes and saw that there was an open house for a place in Oakwood that was starting a pre-natal yoga class soon.
Even though I was really tired and just wanted to lie on the couch, I drug myself to the open house last night. I kept telling myself I’d regret it if I didn’t go. So I walk through the door and there is Sean’s SIL Denise! We just looked at each other and laughed. We’re always finding out that we have common interests. I don’t know about her but I wasn’t surprised to see her there.
The instructor was really cool and I’m definitely looking forward to the classes. She is very knowledgeable in many different areas so I expect to learn a lot from her.
I had no more than gotten home and mom called. I don’t really remember why she called but I do remember her dire warnings to “always wash my hands” and “stay away from large crowds.” Doesn’t she realize the biggest crowd I’m ever around is at Kroger? As much as I hate to give in to this swine flu paranoia, it’s definitely getting to me. I’ll guess I just use the neti pot more often.

What was that?!
Monday night I was lying there awake in the middle of the night with my hand on my stomach...and I felt something move! I wouldn't have felt it if my hand hadn't been on my stomach - it was so subtle. I know I'm only 11 weeks but I know it wasn't anything that normally goes on in my body.
The next day I told Kate about my middle of the night experience and she thought I might’ve been feeling GAS. I told her I’ve never felt gas on the outside with my HAND. This was her response:
I was just discussing this with n8 and he said sure she can feel it, its like 2 tadpoles swimming around...LOL and then he said he has felt poop smaller than that. LMAO
After some research I did find out that many twin moms feel movement even before 16 weeks. Craziness!

Week 10
The food aversions seem to waning which is a very good thing. Especially since the only things I did want to eat were junk food, junk food and more junk food. A lover of vegetables, it was very weird for me to be repulsed by them. And all the other foods I love for that matter. Today, I actually thought about things to have for dinner next week and didn’t start to feel nauseous. We’ll see what happens as the afternoon progresses. Afternoons and evenings seem to be the worst for my aversions and nausea.
Today is a super tired day. Fridays are especially tough. After a week of work, I’m ready to crash. And we need to find a gift for a one-year old tonight. I’d also like to squeeze in some bra shopping but unless I get an energy rush between now and then, I don’t see that happening.
I’m going to vent about it here because I don’t think many people read this blog, and I guess I don’t really care if people do read it. I want to say it. I really wish people would think before they speak. I don’t want to hear things like, “Oh, just wait and see (what it’ll be like).” Or, “Better you than me. I could only handle one baby.” I’m not speaking for Sean (although I know he was just as shocked as I was to find out there were TWO babies in there), but I was mentally, emotionally and financially prepared for ONE baby. Never in a million years did I think I would have TWO. But as freaked out as I was or as scared as I sometimes feel, I’ve decided to look at this as a blessing and focus on the positives. So if you can’t think of anything nice to stay, just don’t say anything at all. I won’t be offended.
On a lighter note, I got a new, much longer belly button ring. Two inches to be exact. I’m not really sure what I was thinking when I ordered it because two inches is really long! I put it in last night and it sticks out on both ends and you can see it through my clothes. I’m sure I’ll eventually need something like that but not just yet! I’ve since ordered a shorter one that should work much better!

I feel like I’ve been run over by a train today. The nausea continues to get worse every day and today I’m super tired. Despite having eaten steadily all day, I haven’t been able to shake the nausea. I know I still shouldn’t complain because at least I haven't gotten sick. Yet.
I’ve now told everyone at work. It was hard enough not telling people before but now it’s even harder. It’s fun freaking everyone out. EVERYONE responds to the word “twins.” Actually, most people think we’re kidding. Why would I kid about that?

We went for our first ultrasound on Thursday (4/9). I don’t know about Sean but I went in there just wanting to know that everything was ok and see the heartbeat. The tech got the wand where she needed it and there were two spots on the screen. I just thought they had it on “double image” or something. But then she said, “Looks like there are two.” My first thought was, “this can’t be” but was quickly pushed out by a flurry of other thoughts. I felt my heartbeat rise and I started laughing and crying – I just couldn’t stop. I finally managed to ask, “Are you sure?” She calmly answered, “Yes.”
She asked if twins ran in the family. I told her, “My great-grandma had 9 kids and there weren’t any twins!” Sean was dressed for work and had to get up and take his long-sleeved shirt off.
- I have since found out that my great great aunt on my dad's side had twins.

I can’t really think straight or focus and just feel so tired I thought I’d type a blog in hopes of staying awake. I’m really just tired all the time. I don’t really fall asleep unless its bedtime but I barely have energy to do anything. Which makes life one big challenge right now because I have a lot I should be doing.
This weekend is my sorority 50th Anniversary. I’m putting together a photo Montage for the event and it’s not finished. Once it is, I need to burn 50 copies. Not to mention, I really need new shoes to wear.
Yesterday, I felt a little queasy in the evening but it wasn’t anything awful. The lack of ANY energy is worse to deal with.

Even though I’m able to go back to sleep fairly shortly after waking up in the middle of the night to pee, I’m still unbelievably tired. Like barely able to function tired. I rested for half of my lunch hour but the relief didn’t last long. I’ve chewed gum, walked around the building, drank ice water and even ate some Kashi Go Lean Crunch (it’s super crunchy) in hopes of it helping me feel more awake.
We visted the Benedek’s over the weekend. Despite my excitement about being pregnant, I couldn’t bring myself to tell them out loud. Sean had to do it. I can’t explain why. I think Nancy suspected but she said she wasn’t there yet…
I’m so glad I finally go to the doctor this week. Only two more days.
