16 Weeks With Twins!

I found out when I was 7 weeks. I had some spotting so I think that is why they had an early ultrasound. When I went to the doc after the 16 week photo, I measured 22 weeks. I know I cant go by measurements, but that makes me feel HUGE!!

I get to find out 10/25/10, if they cooperate, if they are boys, girls or a boy or girl! They heart rates are 136 & 146! A friend of mine is saying one of each!! As long as they are healthy I don't care!

I am a first time Mommy with double the bundles of joy!! My due date is 3/18/11, but I expect towards the end of February or beginning of March. I want them to stay in the oven as long as they can so then can come home with me when I get to go!

So far, I haven't been sick that much at all. At first, I had a lot of spotting but after week 7, it stopped. I have had some headaches and they are evil. Why take 2 tylenol when they wont work right?

My main concern is my eating. I eat a 1/4 of what I used to and I haven't gained at all. I think what I have lost, the babies are showing on the scale as maintaining my weight. I think it has something to do with all my vitamins, but my main doc loves the fact that I am on all of the vitamins. I am a bigger girl too so I am wondering if that doesn't have something to do with it too! I watch "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" and how many of those chicks didn't gain any weight??

I am trying to relax and enjoy the ride as much as I can. I have waited to be a mommy for a really long time and now my chance has arrived!
