OB Appointment

The whole family went to my OB appointment yesterday because I was going to have an ultrasound. Since Jason missed the first one that knocked my socks off, he wanted to come see the babies.

Even though it's only been three weeks, the babies look totally different. No longer do they resemble lima beans. They are little babies which were moving all around to entertain the children. Jackson told me yesterday that the babies actually looked like turtles in the first set of ultrasound pictures from three weeks ago, but now they look like babies.

They measured the babies from crown to rump and both of them are measuring about a week bigger. I'm 12 weeks today, but yesterday they were measuring 12 w 6 days. I hope they continue down that path, for their sake, not mine.

We will have another ultrasound in about 6-8 weeks to find out the genders.

I cleaned...

I'm definitely feeling better... I actually cleaned the downstairs of my house. Jason has been doing this for the last couple of weeks, which has been really wonderful. Maybe I should have faked it for a few more weeks... hmm-hmm...

I wanted to clean the downstairs because Jason and the children are going to put up the Christmas tree tomorrow. Jason likes things to be in order and clean when he does stuff like that and considering I'm going Christmas shopping all day, it's the least I could do.

However, I will say that Christmas shopping is work too. However, since I will be alone, I will happily 'work' at shopping.

I might have turned a corner...

Today, I actually felt good all day... I might have turned a corner in this pregnancy thing...

Funny thing is that I just spoke with my good friend Amanda (who has ~4 month old twins) and she said that I should be feeling better in the next two weeks. I was looking forward to that, but today was a nice surprise.

I know with my other pregnancies, I felt better by 12 weeks, but I never felt as badly as I have felt this time around, so I didn't know when this was going to improve.
