Sorry
I haven’t written for 3 weeks! I have been tired, sleepy, more nauseous than
ever before, and just uncomfortable in general. I had a week-long business trip
to Chicago at 10 weeks and spilled my beans (literally) to my co-workers and my
boss. Everyone was so nice and offered to do things for me, like moving my
chair across the room. One of my co-workers, Michael, even got you guys a baby
book of tongue twisters about the Fox in The Sox. It was so sweet! During that
trip, I also shoveled food onto my plate every chance I got and ate it all. I
also supplemented with protein shakes all day since it’s easier to drink your
calories than to eat them when you’re trying to gain weight.
But
here we are at almost 12 weeks and I have a visible bump now, but still weigh
113 pounds! I just don’t get it – every day I eat SOOO much more than I used to
eat pre-pregnancy and I don’t burn my
calories during intense exercise anymore. It’s pretty much down to walks in the
park with Chaser at this point. I guess gaining weight is much harder than I
thought! According to my twin book, I
should have gained close to 15 pounds by now, but I just don’t see how that
would be possible. I can only hope my appetite revs up as I get into 2nd
trimester and I can actually gain some fat. So far, everything I am eating
seems to go straight to my 2 little beans.
Technically,
each of you is the size of a lime this week. But you’ll always be my little
beans. J We can’t wait for our first trimester
screening and the next ultrasounds – both in 2 days! They might even be able to guess your genders
then!
