Week 26---hmmmm. Sure is crazy that I'm already at week 26. Some days I feel as if I'm 40 weeks pregnant, but I guess that is expected when you're expecting twins. My symptoms are pretty much the same: Nauseous all of the time. I think I'm hungry-try to eat-and than get so sick to my stomach. I get so tired and have actually had to sit on the stairs for a rest while going upstairs. There are days that I just can't get comfortable-I lay on the couch, sit in a chair, stand, lean, you name it-and nothing is comfortable so I just cry. I'm pretty pathetic. A new thing now is if I sit in a car too long (for work) I literally cannot walk. Yesterday it took me 10 minutes to get from the car in the garage to the couch inside the house. It was sooo painful! It feels as if my "girlie part" is breaking----now is that even possible? Sure hope not. I had an ultrasound last week and the girls look great. Both had their heads down and they kept hitting each other during the scan. The radiologist told me that I had a "body for twins". Not sure what that means.... After the ultrasound I met with my doctor where I had gained 4 pounds and my iron is REALLY low- Yippee--iron supplements. At church my neighbor asked how I was feeling because I looked really pale-I told her about my iron and she told me about a liquid iron supplement you can get at a natural herb store. Worth a try. Holy cow! It smells so bad-like rotten butt and I it tastes like I would imagine rotten butt tastes like. SOOOO NAsty! I will mix it into a smoothie which helps cover up the taste and the smell. Haven't noticed a huge change-but it is still early.
