15 weeks

How far along? We are 15 weeks! That means that the twins can now sense light and their eyes are starting to move from the sides to the center of their heads and are looking less and less alien like. 

How big are the twins? They are the size of an orange/apple and 4 inches and approximately 2.5 oz. 

Total weight gain/loss? It honestly depends on the day... I was doing so well and thought I had finally put a pound on when these last few days I got so sick I lost about 7. So I'll be able to answer this better farther into the second trimester ;) 

Maternity clothes? I had to go buy a new bra (fits way better) but I have a lot of flowy clothes so I'm ok for now. My work pants are definitely going to be the first things that need to be replaced though. 

Wedding ring on or off? On for the time being, but I know it'll eventually have to come off - my fingers swell often without being pregnant. 

Sleep? I am quite nocturnal. I go to bed around 10pm with Matt but lie awake researching the heck out of twins. Then around midnight I fall asleep, wake up at 3 and 6 for the bathroom, and then up for the day at 9. And then if I'm not working that day I get at least 3 hours worth of naps squeezed in somewhere. 

Best moment this week? When I locked myself out of my house and my mom had to come rescue me! Hah it doesn't sound all that amazing but I ended up having a lot of fun with her and got to spend some much needed time at my family's house.

Symptoms? Besides the TMI it would mainly be an increase in appetite, which is so nice for a change. 

Food cravings? No cravings necessarily but I got to eat sushi (nothing raw) on Saturday and was literally doing the happy dance in my chair after every single bite. 

Food aversions or anything making you sick? Meat, especially red meat. Fish and salmon sound good but it's really hard for me to get excited about eating chicken or beef. Blehhh. 

Genders? We find out (I believe) at our 20 week appointment. Most twin pregnancies have another ultrasound at 16 weeks and find out then but I'm not betting on it. I haven't had a single doctor's appointment since we found out about the twins (long story, looking for a new OB) so we will see what happens next week at my checkup. 

Labor signs? No but I do think I have felt Braxton hicks or at least abdominal stretching going on. If I get up too quickly from a crouched position my uterus will almost kind of grab me. 

Belly button in or out? Very much in. I would be shocked if it ever popped out. 

Stretch marks? No but they will be here. Don't you worry.

Movement? Yes! I have felt their flutters quite consistently actually! I am definitely excited for when that turns into movements Matt can feel. 

What I miss? I miss my energy levels and not being tired all the time! I didn't realize how much more rested you are when you sleep through the night and don't need to pee all the time. 

What I'm looking forward to? Not being sick! The weekend was amazing because I only got sick once, and then Monday and Tuesday rolled around and I couldn't keep even water down for the life of me. So keep me in your prayers that the hormones will start to calm down soon and I can eat pizza again. 

Happy or moody most of the time?

I would like the think I am happy most of the time... But maybe Matt would say I am a tad more moody? I did blow something way out of proportion last night now that I think about it... But hey if it only happens once in a while we'll be ok, right?
