It's TWINS!!!

So, we went to our ultrasound last week and found out we're having twins!! I went again yesterday and still saw them thriving (just an amazing miracle) so I felt comfortable blogging about them. Whew-hoo, I just have to say how utterly excited Ammon and I are about this!! It's been so long in coming that we're really glad there are 2.
(Sorry the picture is fuzzy- it's hard to take a picture of a picture but you can definitely see 2 egg sacks!!). It's really cool to watch on the ultrasound screen the little hearts beating!! Such miracles. I feel so humble to be carrying them, truly.


Here's my belly blog for 7 weeks (I skipped 6 weeks because I really didn't think I looked any different, although I knew I did). Believe me, things are getting tight. I'm definitely getting bigger faster than I did with Connor. In the books I've been reading it says I'll look like I'm about a month or more ahead of someone having a singleton. And there's just an enormous amount of food I'm supposed to be eating! I haven't hit the recommendations yet- there's a killer amount of protein and dairy and carbs required!! And I have some pretty constant morning sickness that makes me so not interested in food! I just have to close my eyes and eat sometimes!

But, why should I be eating so much and what's the big deal you ask? Why am I trying so hard and find myself fairly preoccupied with it (I'm supposed to eat at least every 2 hours)? Well, so we don't have premature or underweight babies. I'm shooting to go full-term with 6 lb (or more) babies each.

On top of it, I'm very sensitive to smells. I go around like a fish most of the time (you know, mouth open, breathing through my mouth) so I don't smell stuff. But, no matter what the costs, IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
