Pregnancy Thus Far

I guess I am a little behind, since I'm just starting a blog at 22 weeks along, but better late than never, right? Many friends and family have been wonderful about asking me how I'm feeling and how the babies are doing...not just once in a while, but on a regular basis! It's so nice to know there are so many caring people out there! I hope everyone has as many caring people in their lives.

Anyway, here's a bit about my pregnancy:
1. No, I have never had morning sickness or severe nausea. Tiredness, yes, and sometimes just that overall "yucky" feeling during the first trimester. I consider myself VERY blessed, since sickness can be especially awful in multiple pregnancies.

2. The second trimester started with a sudden burst of energy at week 13, and since then, I have been able to do some bike riding (even a 20 mi and 15 mi ride at the beginning of the 2nd trimester!), walking, and house projects. Although, I've been noticing that I huff and puff more and more even doing things like scrubbing the bathtub or walking up a flight of stairs lately.

3. So far, no one has made any rude comments to me about my size or pregnancy...so I'm thankful for that! This is not to say that the comments won't ever come...

4. I'm finding people are very curious when they find out I'm having twins, and they want to know every detail. And then they often proceed to tell me stories about their friend's cousin who had twins too. I don't find it annoying at all, because people are just excited and want to be a part of it.

5. Having an ultrasound every month has been nothing short of AMAZING. To see them go from a flicker of a beating heart at 7 weeks, to growing arm and leg buds at 13 weeks and finally fully functioning organs at 17 weeks has been a miracle! There is absolutely NO way that human life was an accident!

6. I began feeling the babies move at 17 weeks. The little girl (baby B) seems to be the busy body of the 2 of them. She is much more active, and she even had her butt in her brother's face at the last appointment! Talk about traditional role reversal!

Well, that's it for now. I'm going to try to post a few pictures of myself up to 22 weeks if I can figure it out.
