15 weeks + 6 days: Gender Reveal?!?!

Yesterday I had my 16 week ultrasound. Since it is twins that means twice the number of appointments and twice the amount of times for us to see our babies! Unfortunately the tech was not certain of the genders but thought that maybe baby A is a boy and baby B is a girl! I would be excited no matter the gender outcome but it does help me to feel closer to our babies. Although everyday I feel that bond growing.

HOW HAVE I BEEN FEELING:
This a question that I am realizing I will be asked everyday for the duration of this pregnancy. I know that people care and they too are excited about seeing these babies after they are born. Last week for a couple days I felt...well I felt almost nothing. I was kind of scary since during week 14 I saw my belly grow and was certain that I felt a little flutter. However this week not so much and it was scary. Again I had to relax and put my trust and my thoughts in Gods hands.

ANY CRAVINGS:
Sweet stuff! And I can't have any sweet stuff :( and this is why...

DIABETIC STUFF:
When I went to see the perinatologist a month ago he told me to see the nurse to have her give me the "teach". Basically I was given an extensive list of what I can and can not eat. Then I was taught how to prick my finger to check my blood sugar levels. Which I have to do four times a day. After a week of doing this I was told to take 1.25mg of Glyburide just before bed because my fasting sugars are inconsistent. This whole ordeal sucks big time. But I will do what needs to be done to ensure the well being of these babies.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO:
Holding my babies for the first time!

MY PRAYER:
That they are healthy babies.

Love, love - AUDREY
