It's all good in (and under) the hood

 I have been doing a lot of blog and message board reading, but I have not been doing a good job of posting on my own blog.  Partly, because I am too lazy and partly because nothing too interesting has been happening.  We just had a 14 week appointment with a maternal fetal medicine (MFM) specialist.  I was referred to the MFM only because I am pregnant with twins.  The babies looked great and measured 4-5 days ahead of their fetal age.  Their side angles are cute.
Their front angles however, look like they are wearing a Lucha Libre mask. Not a good look kids.

My nausea started fading out around week 9.  I get bouts of it now and then, but it is just so much better than it was in the beginning.  I haven't experienced the fatigue like I hear other people talk about (not yet anyway).  I attribute it to a great work schedule, no children to take care of and a wonderful hubby to make his own dinner :)  Don't get me wrong I enjoy a nap here and then, but I am not feeling run down like I hear have been other's experiences.

I have been taking weekly pics of my stomach so far the biggest difference was week 4 to week 8.  My stomach was huge at week 4 from OHSS and then back to normal at week 8. At week 14 some days I have a bump and others I don't!  I am suspecting that I will have a definite bump for my week 15 pic, but I just finished a weekend of eating nachos, pizza, and hot dogs so I may just have a food baby in addition to the other two babies right now.

WARNING:  I'm gonna show bare belly pics.  Don't worry I have a shirt on.  I suspect that I may have been grossed out by bare belly pics the first time I saw them, so I won't be offended if you want to X out of the blog now, but I love looking at these pics now and making comparisons in myself and others.

J likes my 8 Week pic.  He says I look like a female fighter....didn't realize my hubs was into that
