Our Second Scan

Thursday 16th December

Today was our second scan. I went with my aunty Barb to town to have this one. So we have now confirmed that we are definatley having twins. They both have strong heart beats and are growing at a nice rate! Jon still has not come to grips with the whole "we are having twins" thing. He he! I think when we go for our 12 week scan it will though as he hasn't seen the babies yet.

Other than that I have been feeling much better still really tired but getting there slowly.

I have also been told that I will be able to stay out of hospital for as long as I can, so long as I look after myself. Which is a big relief for everyone.

Will post another note after seeing the obstetrician on friday.

Here comes the all day sickness!

Saturday 20th November - Friday 10th December

So all I have felt since the scan is nausea and tired! I find myself sneaking off into Bella and Holly's room to have a cat nap most days.
My sex drive is totally gone as I always feel like I'm about to chunder and the only thing that fixes it is eating. I have read that I need to keep eating all day so that I don't feel as bad as I do, but I don't want to end up looking like a house either.
On an0ther note I have the most amazing husband in the world! He has been the chef and house cleaner for me the last few weeks and has not complained about it either. (what a guy)
Something else interesting about this pregnancy compared to the last 2 is the food cravings.
One week was carrots then, fantastic instant beef noodles and the latest is frozen coke and cucumbers. (much to the disgust of everyone around me)
I have my first appointment at Flinders on Tuesday so I will do a post when I get home to let you know what the next step in this very scary pregnancy will be.
Hope you are enjoying this experience as much as I am!

Our first scan

Friday 19th November

Today we had our first scan. I joked in the morning that we might have twins!! Little did I know I would be eating my words only hours later.

Jon and I decided to take Bella with us so she could see the baby but when we eventually got into the room (after almost weeing myself) the radiographer had some interesting news. Yes we were in fact having twins! Jon and I just looked at each other and laughed, after all what more could we do? Now to break this news to the family. To cut a long story short no one believed us, we had to show everyone the scan pics for them to realise we were not pulling one of our tricks.

Now the fun stuff starts..... We were only planning on one little bundle of joy now we were totally overwhelmed with the thought of having two on the way!
