19 weeks + 6 days: GET IT TOGETHER AUDREY!

So these two babies will be here in May/June! That means I am halfway thru this pregnancy! And I am excited to the max. I love our babies and can't wait to have two healthy infants in my arms in May/June.

But I am slacking in the planning department. Big time! And I need to get it together for real. So I am going to put into practice something we do at my job called at WIG. This stands for Wildly Incredible Goal. This is something I need to do in my life but keeps getting pushed back for various reasons. So this week I will make a list of potential pediatrician a to interview in a couple of weeks.

I think one reason I am stuck even though my anticipation level is high is because I have to make decisions. Definite ones. Being a mother I will have to assume my position on a lot of issues and hold true to them.

God help my decision making and my planning process.

17 weeks + 6 days: For Sure I Felt Them!

As these weeks go by the developments are more amazing with each day. Certain somedays I do get a little freaked cause I my belly feels a little deflated in the mornings or I just feel uneasiness for no particular reason at all. But at some point I say a small prayer for peace and sound mind during this pregnancy and God, the merciful, calms my mind.

WEIGHT GAIN
So far it's been a big goose egg for me. Yes I'm practically 18 weeks pregnant with twins and I've gained nothing. Mainly it's cause of my restricted eating cause I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes early on. But even though I have not gained weight both of my doctors say my babies are perfectly heathy and fine and that I should not be concerned at this point.

MEDS AND VITAMINS...UGH!
Between my low insulin production, my low vitamin D, and my low iron in addition to my prenatal vitamin I take two extra vitamins and a medication. Why so much? Well as my best friend put it "those babies need a lot from you and they are getting it" And you know what she is right. They do take every bit of what they need and for that I say take whatever babies! Cause I want them to be healthy and strong. So the deficiencies are a result of this and I just need to make sure I'm replenished.

MY PRAYER
Thank you God for everything. I continue to be in awe of you. I am grateful.
