110 pills (that consisted of birth control, antibiotics,
steroids, and baby aspirin), 54 injections, 119 patches, and 141 vaginal
suppositories over 102 days, BUT we've made it to 14 weeks. I can't believe I'm
1/3 of the way finished with this pregnancy. Some days I feel like it's
creeping by, but in the blink of an eye these babies are going to be
here!!! Right HERE!!!
December was bittersweet for my intended parents and I. On
December 18th I officially weaned off all medications and graduated from Colorado
Center of Reproductive Medicine to my regular OB/GYN. We developed such a
wonderful bond with our nurse and a sense of security being in their care that
it’s sad to let them go. On the bright side, this means the boys are growing
and my body is doing what it should to help these little guys meet their
parents!!!
I have definitely been hit with more "morning"
sickness than I had with the girls. My evenings were down right miserable and
usually landed me in bed by 7 most nights. I am starting to feel much better
this week and my energy is slowly coming back!!! I've had cravings for fresh
fruit and vegetables, anything spicy, and pancakes so far.
For now I see my doctor every 4 weeks and both boys have
sounded fantastic at each appointment to this point!!! I've gained 14 lbs from the start of meds to
now. Not too shabby considering fertility drugs can take a toll on your weight.
We will have our 20 week anatomy scan in just SIX short weeks. I am really excited
to see how much they have grown and for mom and dad to see more than little
blobs on the screen. Prayers that we keep trucking right along.
