Ultrasounds

I wish I could have an ultrasound every week. I know they do them weekly in the last month or so, but it sure would be reassuring if we could start now. My old ultrasound person at the fertility clinic said that I might begin to feel the babies at 16 weeks since there are two of them, but I'm not sure if I'm feeling anything. Between the nausea and the gas I think that's all I've been feeling. I've spent a lot of time attempting to differentiate where the feelings are coming from, my stomach or my uterus. Oh well, I'm just going to have to be patient and hang in there until the 26th.

I can't wait to find out who these little people are going to be...what will their favorite color be? Will they love cheesecake as much as Jason and I do (although right now my guess is no)? Will they enjoy sports, art, music, reading????????? What will make them cry, laugh and smile? I want to say that I can't wait to meet them, but I know the longer they stay put the better. February will come soon enough. Remind me that I said that when I'm throwing up 7 times a day :)

17 weeks

and counting. I can't believe it. Apparently the dynamic duo don't like solid foods. Are these really my kids???????????? Who doesn't like food? First it was sweets.... now it's all solids. I'm a little over soup and popsicles. The babies don't like jello so that went the way of solids. Basically I haven't kept down solids since last Sunday (a week from today). I am impatiently waiting for my ultrasound on the 26th so we can find out how well they're doing. I'm so worried about my lack of nutrition/their lack of nutrition. Something bit me today and I freaked thinking it would poison the babies. I took Benadryl hoping that all of a sudden it would have magical powers that will erridicate the poison out of my system. Oy vey.
