Mothers Day-- 11 weeks.

Today is my first, "kinda" Mother's Day.

I awoke to DH bringing me breakfast in bed this morning the best way he knows how: Chocolate chip Eggo waffles, OJ and melon serves on a cookie tray. It was accompanied by a pink rose and two giant candy bars. I love that guy :)

We spent the rest of the day cleaning the house to prepare it to sell. The hardest part was going through my entire closet. I decided to pack up all clothes that are now, or in the near future will be too small (or inappropriate) to wear while being preggo with twins. I had to pack up five, count 'em, five boxes of clothes. (Plus the giant trash bag to donate). It was kinda sad to think, one year ago today, pre-IVF and FET I weighed 20 pounds less. Seriously. One year ago. My dress size was also two sizes smaller. *Sigh* Small price to pay compared to everything else I've been through to have these babies, but DAMN. My closet looks like a barren desert!

Today also marks 11 weeks and counting! Our babies are about the size of limes. This most exciting thing this week is going to see the new OBGYN for the first time on Thursday. More updates and 'calming' baby check-ups. I just can't believe it's real until each time I see them on the screen, jumping around like crazies.

Current stats:

Weight Gain: Still down about 5 pounds since the beginning, but slowly gaining it back.

Cravings: Still love pasta and apples are pretty good lately.

Nauseous: Beginning to come and go in waves. Some days I fell it mostly at night, other times I feel it all day.

Belly touches: Good 'ol DH.

Feeling: Still amazed at how quickly I am exhausted. I had heard you gain your energy back after the placentas are finished developing, but I am still pooped. Most days at work, I am fine until I sit down at the end of the day--and then there is no way I can get up!

Boy or girl: DH is beginning to waiver and perhaps for a boy and a girl. But again, we have no clue. It will be interesting to hear what pour families think.

Emotional state: I am still a cry a baby, but it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. I cry when people are happy--and I am really happy too!

OBGYN: Seeing her this Thursday for the first time!

Movement: Can't feel it yet.

Told anyone yet?: Nooope.

Maternity clothes: Now that I have 'cleaned' the closet, I think I will need to make a few new purchases within the next few weeks.

Baby purchases: Nothing new. Trying to sell the house quickly so we don;t have to fill this one up with twice the baby gear.

Nesting: I dream of it daily. . . but still hoping for that big move--so cleaning this one up to sell, I guess, is my way of nesting.
