13 Weeks

13 Weeks Pregnant

After much investigating, the babies aren't getting any cuter, actually, they got a lot uglier so I'm sticking to this one.

I feel my belly getting bigger and harder and my gap in between my 2 stomachs filling in! hahahaha I'll show you an example!

BEFORE: with pants at waist line

AFTER: With pants over my whole belly


See the difference! lol so from now on I'm gonna try to cover both bellies so that it looks like one big one. My nights are starting to get very uncomfortable and I'm barely going into my 2nd trimester. I know it has to do with my belly getting bigger so I have to move all night, the good thing is that I'm still asleep and SLEEPING but I know that'll change soon. I was also getting cramps and had to call my doctor, he said it's my uterus stretching and once I took some tylenol it was gone. I really don't remember any of this from my other pregnancies. weird.

I really need to walk more often, I'm thinking about making a family chart about our walking so that the kids can mark off the days and get excited about completing our walks.

In addition, my face is getting a lot worse, I'm praying that it gets better in the 2nd trimester b/c not only is it ugly it's painful! My face throbs with pain and sometimes I can sleep on my right side of my face cause it pulses all night from the pain. I've been sticking to my benzoyl peroxide but I'm thinking that once I reach the 2nd trimester my doctor can give me something a little stronger, we'll see.

Overall, I'm doing good. The kids are good and Naty is good. We need to go grocery shopping today so I'll be buying all of my diabetic stuff for the week. See you!

It hit me

6 Weeks Pregnant

I am now 6 weeks and 2 days and had my first nausea episode. No barfing but very queasy. Naty went to buy us food case I had no energy and was studying and wrapping presents. Well as soon as I ate I felt a lot better, I haven't been 100% on my diet so I've gotta plan that out cause I am NOT going to gain a lot of weight. I gained a little with Audrey and my stomach was the only thing to expand so I was very happy with that.

I plan on only gaining the 15 lbs. that I should gain, if I gain less I know it wouldn't hurt but nothing over that.

This weekend I ate alot cause we made tamales at MIL's house. I could NOT stop eating so it's all about working hard from this point on. I also don't want to see a gain for my first appt. on Dec. 31st. so no more messing up!

Also, the cramps mostly went away but I felt a couple of flutters that could have been my uterus moving but it made me jump. I know it means the uterus is moving and expanding so that is why it's painful.

A little scared

I was cramping last night and was just thinking, "is this it?" I told Naty to pray that nothing bad would happen and he said he would. I woke up in the morning cramp free and feeling good now. It's a scary feeling because I don't remember cramping from my other pregnancies. I keep reading that it's normal but it had been days since I last cramped. I just kept going to the bathroom thinking I would see blood. I have also been really stressed out with the last of school, I have finals next week and I was told by the nurse to take it easy. That means I've gotta start studying now so that I'm not rushing last minute and trying to cram the night before, now that would make me really stressed.
