Could it be.....movement?

So, last night about 30 minutes after I sat down to relax, I felt this flutter in my belly. I told Josh that I knew it was crazy, but I thought I felt the babies move. I looked in a book and it said that you can feel movement between 18 to 20 weeks and a little bit earlier for 2nd pregnancy, so I dismissed it. However, tonight, after sitting again for 30 minutes, EXACT SAME FEELING IN THE SAME PLACE!!!! I looked online and read other people's notes about their pregnancies and sure enough other people, especially the ones having twins or multiples said they had felt fetal movement as early as 9 weeks. How cool is that!! Looking forward to when the movement is enough for Josh and Ben to feel it as well.

Pictures of our babies

We got the proofs of Ben's first school pictures today and I think they actually turned out pretty cute. Josh and I were talking about how terrible our school pictures used to be, standing in front of fake library books or something just as cheesy, so I was glad to see these. I am sure in 27 years or so, Ben, too, will think his are horrible, but for now, they are the best school pictures in the world. When we get these back, we will also get a class picture, so I will send that then.

We also had some more pictures of Baby A and Baby B, renamed to Baby Left Lower and Baby Right Higher, taken today unexpectedly. I had been having some cramping, so for peace of mind, we had a little look-see and my how they have grown. They look great and their hearts are just beating away. The doctor saw no problems, so the cramping is probably just from 2 babies growing at a very fast rate. I am 8 weeks and 1 day and they are both measuring at 8 weeks and a few days. Baby LL is measuring in at 19.8 mm and Baby RH is 18.5 mm. So, they are about the size of a pinto bean.

I have a lost a pound (last time I will probably be able to say this), since the last visit. Good to know, that I can eat potatoes everyday and still watch my weight gain. Actually, last week, I had some major food aversions and nausea, but this week, I am back to normal, so expect weight gain in the upcoming months. My belly is getting bigger and I am officially out of my jeans. Maternity clothes here I come at 8 weeks. I have also been exhausted, but I was able to start back at the gym this week and that has helped my energy level. Plus, my wonderful husband has been taking care of a lot of things around the house, which has been giving me time to put my feet up at night. What a doll!

So, the next appointment will not be until June 26th near the end of the first trimester. Gosh, we will be glad to get to that point. That means we are out of the woods and no more shots for me, since I am continuing to have to take shots from in vitro until that time.
