I've decided that since my body is changing overnight-that I'm going to post photos every two weeks rather than every 4. My feet have already disappeared when I'm standing up straight. I honestly think I'm still in a state of shock since finding out we are expecting twins. Something I teased about but never really thought seriously about it. OOPS!!! The babies are very active and I can already see by belly move--which is crazy since they are like the size of bananas.
On top of being pregnant with twins-I caught the nasty stomach flu that went thru our house and literally thought I wasn't going to survive. It was AWFUL! I couldn't get out of bed, would get extremely hot and than extremely cold, horrible headache, and than would have to waddle as fast as I could to the bathroom to throw up items I had eaten 6 months ago. It was pure HELL! Thank goodness Devin had the day off and he was able to hold down the fort and watch the kids. I was left alone to die in my misery for 24 hours. I can definatetly tell this is a completely different pregnancy. Yesterday I put a load of laundry in the washer-took a load out of the washer and into the dryer, and took a load out of the dryer (not in that order) and it took me 45 minutes of laying on the couch to catch my breath. I get winded walking up the stairs, lose my breath while cooking dinner, and even in the store-I catch myself leaning over the cart to try and catch my breath. I really am a sight to see.
Since I was sick just 2 days ago and lost over 12lbs-I was nervous to see my doctor today. The appointment went alright-weight was ok, blood pressure still low (88/94), and we heard both heartbeats. Unfortunately, since I'm pregnant with twins and am now considered "high risk"-I am unable to travel more than an hour away from the Dr/Hospital. Living in Pocatello and having my doctor in Idaho Falls-doesn't leave me a lot of travel room. I'm a little sad about this since I won't be able to travel to Canada for my sisters wedding or be able to travel to Bear Lake for our family reunion. BUT, I can completely understand. I finally emailed my boss/manager tonight and informed him that I was 1)pregnant and 2)have travel restrictions: not sure how that will go. I have been traveling SO much in so many remote and isolated locations--I guess that is a no,no now----Not sure how he will take that.
