during pregnancy

Monday, January 19, 2009

So, it's been a few weeks since my last blog so I should probably update everyone. The "morning" sickness has officially kicked in and I feel like poop all day. The rare glimpses of energy that I get in a day are spent on trying to keep my house in order. I'm beginning to realize that this is a lost cause. Those of you who know me, know that I really pride myself on being a multi-tasker and keeping my house and family in order. So, let's just say, that this has been a little rough on me. I'm already feeling like a failure and it's kind of depressing me a little. Okay, okay, I'll stop whining now. On a happy note, I got to see the babies again on Friday! They still look like little aliens, but oh are they cute little aliens! They were both bunched up against the left wall of their sacs. Just so content and so happy. They're both growing appropriately for their ages and their heartbeats were again, very healthy and very strong. Do you know that they already have fingers and toes and even eyelids!? Their hearts have already formed 4 chambers and their sex organs are even beginning to form. Amazing what can grow in just 9 weeks! Speaking of 9 weeks, I'm due to be off of my injections in 3 weeks and boy am I counting the days! It will be such a relief to be finished with the 1st trimester. I'm hoping the Intended Parents and I can start to relax a little bit more. On that note, I think I'll head back to my new favorite place...the couch. Nighty, night!
