This started as a blog about our journey in trying to conceive, IVF, the loss of our little angel, my pregnancy and birth of our twins, and our little surprise munchkin. Now we are all on a journey with the Army. This has become more of an update of our life but if you read from the beginning you will find info about our IVF experiences.

9 Weeks - including a Belly Shot :-)
Today I am 9 weeks preggo!! I'm so excited because my little tickers have switched over to the 3rd month! My little babies on the right side of the screen there are looking more like human babies now!! SO cool! My Baby-Gaga ticker is on the 3rd block and looks like a baby. I'm excited. LOL I'm still a nervous wreck but I'm excited - we're making progress. We are almost to that wonderful 2nd trimester! I am constantly praying and constantly telling the babies (who I've nicknamed Sweet Pea and Jelly Bean) that we are a team and we're all going to make it through this. We're all going to stay healthy and strong and make it to at least November. Positive thinking and self/babies pep talk is a daily thing for me. I'm still exhausted. I think I'm getting more tired every day. My nausea still comes and goes but it seems the last couple of days I am starving but then I get through a little food and it makes me feel nauseaus so I have to stop. I am not horribly hungry for anything in particular - except Mexican food. I want Mexican food like nothing else. The only problem is - I can only eat it on the weekend because I would never make it through a whole day of work after eating it. My taste buds may be a fan but my intestines are not. ;-) My boobs are less sore than they have been so that kind of freaks me out but I still feel little tingles here and there and they're still big (although I think I'm getting used to them so I am not sure some days LOL). SO I feel positive that everything is good with both babies. I'm hoping to feel like crap through the safety of the beginning of the 2nd trimester. I would like to try and eat more. I don't think I've been eating enough but I truly am trying. I've been drinking a Boost a day but even that gets hard to stomach some days. Anyway - all seems to be good. I'm having some stretching and pulling pains - or growing pains as I call them - today. The last time I had these I woke up the next day with a much bigger tummy. Wondering if I'll find that again tomorrow!! LOL Anyway - here is my 9 week belly shot. Next ultrasound is next Thursday at 10 weeks. We ARE going to make it through that and well beyond. Hopefully to November!!! :-)
