15.5 weeks

Not too much new since my last update a few days ago - but the most exciting is David and I almost have our room done. We are moving into the basement and the carpet was installed yesterday - and David painted the room. For those of you who have seen it - it's a HUGE improvement from the sea foam green carpet that was in here! hahaha As I'm sitting here typing this, David is bringing down our bed (sorry can't lift anything - oh its great to be pregnant and actually have a legitimate excuse!) :-) Once we are done with this room - we will then start putting stuff in the babies room.

15 weeks

I've really "grown" I'm starting to feel much better with a few occasions of getting sick – but for the most part, I'm holding down my food. I had my 15 week check up on Friday and the Doctor said everything looks great! I've only gained 2 lbs since my last apt. 4 weeks ago – so I'm at a total of 8lbs and its all belly! He did say that my stomach is the size of someone who is 20 weeks pregnant (5 months) but that's due to me having twins. Lucky me!!! David and I were able to hear 2 separate heartbeats and it was really neat! The babies moved and are no longer sitting on top of each other. I have 1 on the left side and one on the right side.
The most exciting news is…We find out boys or girls at 2:30 on 10/23!!! I can't wait!!!

14 weeks

I'll be 14 weeks along tomorrow and I'm finally starting to feel like myself again!!! After being really sick for 3.5 weeks of non-stop vomiting, the doctor put me on some medicine and I'm calling it the "miracle" drug. So far so good and I'm starting to have more energy and feel like me again! My belly really popped the last few days and I'm fully in maternity clothes! UGH! We registered for some of our stuff on Saturday at Babies R Us & Target – and we had Dominic help us with that. He had a lot of fun and we even let him pick out a few toys for the babies. He's been giving us suggestions for names and he seems pretty excited. It was very overwhelming and somewhat confusing – but it is all starting to feel real now! I felt my first "flutter" in my stomach on Saturday – which I think is early – but since there are 2 in there – who knows! It was a very strange feeling and I haven't felt it since – so as David says…it was probably gas! hahaha Our biggest purchase so far is our new vehicle – we sucked it up and traded in my SUV for a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Yep – I'm now a mini-van soccer mom! With the double stroller and all of the "double" paraphernalia we'll need – plus Dominic's stuff – we figured that's the best option. It seats 7 people - has automatic hands free doors & trunk, plus a few other bells and whistles (sunroof, navigation system, DVD player)! We picked it up yesterday and so far I love it! It's navy blue with grey leather interior
