Update

I guess I never updated this after my Dr's appointments on Tuesday. The Docter was positive. She gave me the go ahead to fly to NB at the end of May barring any unforseen complications, I'm excited about that but trying not to get my hopes up (like that ever works). My 'fundus', the top of the uterus, is now about an inch above my belly button, a fact of which I was well aware, but I found out that it is usually about an inch or so below the belly button in most pregnancies at this point, so I guess the twins are making thier presence known. Being the size I am doesn't seem that odd to me having no idea what I should look like! My Dad seems to think I will be huge and have to be on bedrest. I sure hope that is not the case! Overall the appointment went well. Then I was off to the nutritionist. Unfortunately for me I forgot to take my pills Monday night and so was feeling very sick by that time but I struggled through (and then kept a hair appointment I should've cancelled!! I sure felt sick after that!). That was also positive. (The nutritionist not the hair cut although that was also fine.) She said overall I am doing well. I guess eating cereals and fruit is not so bad. I have been eating more 'normal' food since I've been sick less as well and have been very concious of the types of foods I eat. Thankfully I've been craving fruit sugars much more than regular, although I still have to watch that. The biggest change I have to make is to get more protein, which is hard when meat kind of grosses me out. I've been eating more fish which is good, also for the iron. Today I bought some beef and salmon jerky so I didn't have to cook meat, although I also bought a bit of pork. It's the one meat I have no idea how I will react to so I will try cooking that up this weekend. I also was bad and bought a pie. A whole pie. I 'm sure it will be gone by the end of the weekend thought. It's in the oven at the moment. Mmmm.

I got a funny reaction from my self photo up now. Chris informed me that it is kind of 'creepy'. I thought that was amusing, I'm aware it's not a great picture but I didn't think it was creepy!! :) I told him when he gets home he can take a better one to replace it. I'm finding it harder to adjust with him gone this time and am finding I am having rather wild mood swings, I'm defiantely surly and grumpier with him away. He poked fun and asked how that was any different from when he is here! I guess I never realized how much support he has offered me though all these strange pregnant happenings. I will have to remember to thank him.

I am growing quite fast now and experienceing some of the stranger aspects of pregnancy such as joint loosening. My hips are loosening and the lower back pain can be quite extreme at times but I am not that new to back pain. The funny part is my clumsiness. I didn't expect that, also I didn't realize how much having a big belly would change how I move. My ribs are already digging into things, or a baby will lodge him/herself up there making it quite uncomfortable if I am slouching. I find it odd trying to put my socks (and everything else lower body for that matter) on in the morning. Gotta kinda move around the bulge. Lots of funny little changes you never think about. I'm afraid I idealized pregnacy quite a bit in the past. There's no floating through with my big belly all blissful and beautiful! It's funny really.

Well, That's long enough. There are likely countless spelling errors and such but I can't be bothered checking at the moment. Maybe later. Feel free to point them out! :)
