Bump Watch: 7 Weeks


I think I am having twins. This is me currently. Seven weeks. I'm not even two months along. Other clues that lead me to think there are two is that tonight as Athaliah and I were dancing together, I leaked Colostrum. I've never heard of that except in the last trimester. The only way that could happen would be if there are A LOT of hormones surging through my body. Also, as queasy as I feel sometimes, I am SO hungry. All I can think about is food. Different kinds of food, how to make it, what I would eat if I could eat it. I'm currently craving Crepes. Mmmm, with lemon and icing sugar. See? I can't stop. I'm not complaining though, food is great. On the other hand...I think I am already gaining more weight than I normally would...which is another indicator. And look at my picture. Does that say anything?? And here is the big one, last night as I was trying for the millionth time to sleep, I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach. At first I was like, "Hmmm, that's an interesting feeling of gas...kind of pleasant actually." and then...it didn't stop. And all day at random times I felt this flutter that goes from light to really strong! I don't understand though because according to all the medical thingy's, the baby is not supposed to start moving until 8 weeks or so. AND, currently the baby is supposed to be the size of a grain of rice. (I wonder...cooked or uncooked)? Mmmm, rice with butter and salt...
Sooo, IF there is possibly two, they have started sumo wrestling...cause I can seriously feel it!! I have never heard of this!! With Athaliah, I felt her move at around 10 weeks but I didn't know until someone told me. But I have a hard time believing I could feel anything this early. Who knows? I talked to my mom who has exerience in carrying twins (she's done it twice. My sister was a twin but her twin was miscarried, and then there is me and my brother). Mom said she was in maternity clothes at two months and the doctor knew something was up. So after explaining my symptoms to mom, she agreed that it is very likely and I need to get an early ultrasound. I've already been told by some people who suggest that perhaps my "dates" are wrong. The answer to that is, No they're not. I marked down on a calendar every month when my "friend" came to visit and I knew when I was ovulating...and Damien KNEW what HE was doing when I told him...and when my next period was due, I KNEW I was pregnant. So no, my dates are exact.
I am still trying to get a hold of my doctor who seems to be closed every time I call. Tomorrow I am going to try in the morning. I am dying for an ultrasound now!
My nose is still stuffy. It's getting worse. I heard that stuffy and bloody noses are common in pregnancy. Already I've had three nosebleeds brought on by Athaliah squeezing my nose while I "BEEP"ed at her. and of course my stuffy nose has been keeping me awake for the past two weeks.
Things are looking up though. I tried an experement that includes taking two Diclectin (nausea medicine) three times a day. It takes three hours for the medicine to start working so I take them at ten so that by one in the morning I am tired and relaxed and sleep better. Then I wake up and take them right away, which is usually at 10 in the morning, so that by one in the afternoon (around the time of Athaliah and I's nap) I sleep well, and then I take them at five in the evening so that I can get through my evening...and then again at 10 pm. So far it is working which means I feel well enough to keep eating and the more I eat, the less queasy I feel. Isn't it fantastic?
Alright, well, I've been hit with a creative idea for my Sims 2 game so I'm gonna go get it done.
Lemme know what you think! TWINS??? EH??
