Med Free November!

I know it's been a while since my last blogpost. I suck at blogging. I'm aware. ;) I started to write a couple of posts over the last couple weeks and everything I would type was just depressing, so I would delete it. It was a dark October for the most part as far as the pregnancy goes. I was sick to the point of laying in a dark room and emptying the contents of my stomach about every half hour. It was not pretty. After I could deal with it no longer, I called the doc and was prescribed Zofran, which has helped tremendously with the nausea. Of course then I started having terrible heartburn so I started taking Zantac, which then caused awful constipation, so I started taking fiber pills. I tell ya, I feel like my mother with the small pharmaceutical counter she has going on at her house with all of her ailments and the prescriptions that help her with the side effects of every other prescription she takes. LOL But, I'm happy to report that things are improving!

Last Thursday was my last day for shots! Did you hear me yell Hooray?!?! Cause I yelled it pretty damn loud! It was a glorius day. Then yesterday was my last day for progesterone suppositories. I know what you're thinking - those sound like so much fun! - well, I'm happy to say Adios to those lovely things as well! I felt better today than I have felt in a long time. I have been on hormone overload for the last few months, literally! I'm starting to get my energy back a little too. Not so much feeling like a koala anymore. :) 

The babies have made an appearance, and the baby bump is visible. I'm entering week 12 of the pregnancy now, so the first trimester is ending. This is a picture from the October 23rd doctor visit. The top pic is Baby A and the bottom pic is Baby B. 

They are growing well and measuring right on track for where they are supposed to be. Although the due date is May 16th, Dr. Lepi will schedule the babies for delivery at 36 or 37 weeks, which will be sometime mid-April. 

So, we are off to the second trimester! Marc and Michael are anxiously awaiting the December ultrasound, when they will be able to find out the sex of the babies. :)
