We are approaching our 16 week mark and at this point I’m ready
to celebrate absolutely anything that gets me away from the 1st
trimester nausea. Although I’ve been fortunate enough not to miss any work, I
have been dealing with incredible food aversions and heart burn. The nausea is mostly gone now, but the heartburn rages on.
On top of the symptoms, I started a new job at the end of
January (I still work for the Church…just a different department). I wasn’t
able to continue classes this semester due to all of pregnancy woes (I think
Ben thought I was being dramatic, but he’s on board now and realizes that
pregnancy is REALLY hard)! J
These babies are growing, as is my waistline, plus my heart—thank
goodness! I love them and worry about them all of the time. We’ve been really
lucky to see them on ultrasound at least 5 times now and each time I cry,
almost like I am still in disbelief they are there, happy and thriving. But
they are!
A few weeks ago I met with the team at Maternal Fetal Medicine
at LDS Hospital. We did a lot of screenings and genetic testing since I am
considered “high risk”. Again, absolutely healthy little babes! We got the
blood test results a few days later and they confirmed one more time their good
health and then asked me if I wanted to know any gender information…OF COURSE I
DID!!! So…they gave me a little insight and I called Ben and we did Facetime so
I could tell him and SEE his face, since we were both at work. He couldn’t decide if I should
tell him, but he REALLY wanted me to. Once I did, we were both so darn happy and a little in shock. It was
such a sweet moment for me to see his reaction J
I know you want me to reveal what we found out, but we don’t
have both baby genders confirmed yet. What??? I know….haha. Hopefully we’ll
find out SOON though! I promise I’ll post a lot quicker than I did last time.
Until then, just know I’m fat, happy and healthy over here!
