Pregnant With Twins- First Trimester Update

How Far Along?

We will be 11 weeks on Tuesday! So crazy I am already showing so much, but I can’t even tell you how happy it makes me!!

Current Symptoms?

I am so grateful I have felt so good this entire pregnancy so far. It might be because we have wanted these babies so bad that I don’t notice if I am not feeling good, but I genuinely think my body is the happiest it has ever been.

In the afternoons I get pretty tired and usually take a nap! I am not much of a nap person but if I get tired I try to rest! It’s hard for me to relax and take a nap, but I want these babies to grow healthy and strong so if they need a nap, I go for it!

If there has been any symptom I have had, it’s some serious bloating. A lot of that though could be from the progesterone medications I have been taking 3 times a day! Progesterone causes bloating, and by the end of each night my tummy looked liked it was 9 months pregnant! It hasn’t been uncomfortable at all but just giving me a heads up for what I’ll look like down the road 🙂 The exciting news, I just finished up my last round of progesterone this week! Wahoo! I am so excited to no longer be on any more IVF medications.

Funny Pregnancy Moment?

Does peeing your pants count?! Jake and I were at a meeting and after I realized I needed to go to the bathroom. By the time I got to the bathroom I had already gone! hahaha So I went to the bathroom and cleaned up and had a good laugh! We were out of town, and hadn’t had dinner out, so we went out to dinner and I just wore my jacket around my waist! After dinner I realized I had peeded my pants again! When I was on progesterone I seemed to be peeing my pants all the time and for some reason I thought it was pretty funny every time! I hear after you have a baby it doesn’t get any better?! haha

Sleep?

I have been sleeping sooo good! The first few weeks I wasn’t sleeping super well so I ordered a pregnancy pillow! The reviews about them were so good but I ended up not loving it. I found I like just a regular pillow between my legs when I sleep to help balance out. In the middle of the night I need to go to the bathroom a ton, but it’s nice because now I fall right asleep after going to the restroom. In the beginning I wasn’t used to waking up in the middle of the night and it would keep me up but so grateful to be sleeping like a baby now!

Genders?

We can’t wait to find this out! As of now we do not know the babies genders! It won’t be for around 7 more weeks till we find out! I have no clue what we are having! This is going to be TMI but my leg hair has been growing so fast and I need to shave them every other day vs weekly. My grandma said she was more hairy when she had boys than girls, so I am wondering if we are having boys?

Something We Are Looking Forward To?

Finding out the babies genders and having a party to celebrate! Jake and I have been planning a gender reveal party and are so excited to celebrate with our loved ones!

Best Pregnancy Moment So Far?

The bump! Literally it makes me so happy! Every time I get dressed and see the bump I just can’t help but dance around the room! Something about it just makes me want to dance! It makes me happy to know the babies are growing and making themselves at home!
