Double the Trouble

We've had a blast this week letting all our family and friends know of our news. Most responses are shock, then disbelief and then big smiles. We are so grateful for all the love ans support!
I didn't think being pregnant was going to hit me as hard as it has. The fatigue is probably the worst. Getting anything done during the day takes massive amounts of will power and then in the evenings I'm sleeping by 10 and dragging myself out of bed in time to get the kids on the bus at 8:50. I've figured out that if I eat every hr to 2 hrs (something substantial, not just a piece of fruit) The nausea is avoided... but if I don't it hits me hard, and then I don't want to eat. The books say that with twin pregnancies, I need to eat an extra 600 calories a day!!! I have yet to reach that goal on top of my regular diet because there isn't much that sounds appetizing.. Sugar definitely is not my friend. No ice cream, candy, chocolate, cake, etc. It's sad. I'm not a fan of chicken, or rice.. potatoes not so much either. So finding the calories I can handle have been difficult. One thing I do like... Burgers! Red meat is always a good thing in my book. :)  But more than one a week is a little much.
So, because the babies are sitting one in front of the other, and I'm still very bloated from all the meds they had me on, plus others I'm still on.. I'm already showing! This is ultra fun, not many would notice, in fact I just look chunky right now, but I have definitely grown out of my regular pants.

My super good friend got me this shirt when I was going through the treatments and said "I'm gonna keep it in my closet until we know your having twins :)" She was super optimistic, and right! I LOVE the shirt! Really the best shirt I've ever owned. Here is a picture of me waring it, with my belly. It says "There's two peas in my pod." Here's to Best friends and my two Peas!
