Blueberries!

I think it’s finally sinking in that we’re going to have two babies around here in less than a year! We’re getting much more comfortable with the idea which also allows us to be much more excited. Our main concerns are the late stages of pregnancy/delivery and what we’re going to do when I have to go back to work. I wish I didn’t have to worry about that. I know that all working moms have to worry about it and it’s such a difficult added stressor that new moms have to deal with.  Hopefully, something will come up and work itself out and we’ll be comfortable with whatever we have to do at that time.

The shots are still a nightmare. I think this is 40 consecutive days now. The pain is really bad sometimes, but I have found that the more active I am throughout the day, the more I use the heating pad, the better it is at night. Our second ultrasound is on Friday so only two more days of waiting! My anxiousness is getting a little stronger, but I’m not really worried. The only thing that stays in the back of my mind is when the doctor said, “sometimes one of the twins disappears”. I don’t think that’ll be what I hear, but the sooner this ultrasound shows me two beating hearts, the better.

The babies are the size of blueberries this week! How cute! My little blueberries are developing brain cells at a rate of 100 cells per minute! I definitely think they are taking some of mine, though. I’ve heard people talk about “pregnancy brain” before and I didn’t know how real it was until now. I’m seriously a ditz lately. That could also be due to the fact that I really haven’t been sleeping, though. Anyway, I can’t wait to see them on Friday and update all of you on how perfectly they’re developing!
