12 Week update

Monday marked 12 weeks (based on my calendar not my OB's). It was also the day of the ultrasound that would measure the back of the babies' necks to see if they had any physical signs of down syndrome.

The ultrasound was done at a different facility than where I usually go and the ultrasound tech was kinda harsh. Baby A (on my left side) wasn't very active and facing away a lot of the time so the tech kept jabbing my stomach to get the baby to rotate, it was very uncomfortable. Both of the babies were active and looked surprisingly like babies. Baby B (on my right side) looked like it had a big nose but it wasn't until two days later when I watched the DVD with my parents that we realized that we were looking at baby b's fist in front of it's face not it's nose. Then my mom pointed out that it looked like baby B was sucking on it's thumb, SO CUTE!

Yesterday was my second prenatal appointment. I decided to not ask the long list of questions that I had written down because most of them had more to do with the end of the pregnancy and about delivery so I didn't want to sound like a crazy bitch when i have about four more months before I should even worry about any of that. The ultrasound yesterday on the little portable machine was really crappy quality so nothing all that exciting was seen or discussed other than the fact that they both looked like they have nice strong heartbeats. I got a nice and uncomfortable pap and that was the end of the visit.

I signed up for a prenatal nutrition course that is on July 2nd and then there is the big ultrasound to look forward to on July 17th! So far it sound like my mom and Chester will be joining us for that. I hope it goes well since I will only be a little over 16 weeks at that point and most people talk about getting it done at 20 weeks. I hope they know what they are doing scheduling it so early.

Man I hope I stop feeling like crap and get my energy back soon. At least I have another month before I have to worry about getting the house ready for Chester's arrival.
