11 Weeks...I felt babies moving last night?!!.....July 29, 2009

I'm 11 weeks 2 days and I felt my babies move last night. I felt them in two different places, it was at one side and one was at the other side. It felt different than when I was pregnant with my other two children. I'm pretty sure it saw the babies moving but then again it is a little early, so not for sure.
I want to know if anyone else had migraines at 5 weeks pregnant. About 16 days after conception, I began having migraines. Day after day for almost three weeks I had migraines. Finally they just stopped and I felt so much better. I was still having morning sickness, but no migraines. I still have an occassional headache.
I'm also wondering if there is any relationship between these migraines in early pregnancy and being pregnant with twins. We just knew it had to be twins, at least that's what we felt. But, it was still a surprise to see them on the screen when I had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks.
Now everyone is saying...watch there be another one in there. My three year old daughter was given her own ultrasound picture of the twin babies and the other day she was showing it to my sister-in-law and she told her to look at her babies. This is what she said, "see, there's one, two and one baby in the dark". She was referring to the dark area around the babies. That was a bit spooky. But, I don't feel like there are three, not like I had a gut feeling that I'm having twins. I'm happy with twins, I get more excited every day. I'm a little scared, but I'm happy. When I'm at the store, I'll look at something and say, "I can't believe I have to buy two of everything.

Websites for Twins Pregnancy Information!.....July 23, 2008

I'm looking all over the internet to find any website that will tell me everything I can learn about twins. I can't believe it still. I'm really carrying two babies. I'm so looking forward to my next ultrasound. I can't wait to see those two little babies again. August 6th is when I will have my next ultrasound....yes!...twins! I almost still can't believe I'm carrying two babies!
I'm going to need all the advice about twins as I possibly can get. And I know I will need all the help I can get once they arrive.
I am a bit nervous about possibly having to have a C-section delivery. I really want to have vaginal births.
This pregnancy is going to be so different. I just pray I don't get any more migraines.
Gathering as much information about twins is going to be my mission for the next few months. I need to get all the twin or mulitiple births information as possible.

10 Weeks Ultrasound.....Guess what we saw? Double! That's right....Double as in Twins!!

I went for my first ultrasound today...and to our surprise we saw two babies. That's right we are having twins! What a surprise, kinda since we've been joking about it for the past year and mostly since  5 weeks of gestation when I started getting migraines so soon in this pregnancy. We kept saying, "must be twins or one big baby girl!"
After the shock wears off I know that I will have a lot to think about. Like....two of everything!
I'm so tired already.
I'm wondering if that's why I had migraines so early in my pregnancy. I haven't had migraines lately, thank goodness. I'm hoping I don't have them later on, but it's a real strong possibility.
I am so excited about having twins. I've been looking at as many twin websites as I could today. I want to get as much informaiton as I can.
We kept saying it has to be twins since my migraines started so early (5 weeks) and they were worse with this pregnancy. They hurt a lot more and I had them basically on a daily basis. I am curious to know if the twins are what caused me to have the migraines so strong and so early on. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced this with a twin or multiple pregnancy.

No Migraines for Awhile....July 18, 2008

I'm doing well so far. I haven't had a migraine for a long time now. I have had a few headaches. I've been having morning sickness, but not much.
I hope the rest of my pregnancy will go this well.
I can't wait until Monday afternoon. I'll have my first ultrasound. I'm anxious to see my little baby.

I Can't Wait for My First Ultrasound.....July 15, 2008

Well, I haven't had any migraines lately. I do have headaches and I'm still experiencing some morning sickness. I am extremely tired. I feel like I can just sleep all day and night.
I almost feel like I'm not pregnant at this point. That worries me a little bit. I can't wait until my sonogram so I can see a little heart beat. Once that happens, I will be relieved to know things are going good. I do worry how the pain killers I took will affect my baby's growth. All in all I don't really think I used that much.
I will be over 10 weeks when I have my ultrasound, so I should be able to see a good sized figure in there. I wish that I could see the sex, but I know it's early for that. I'm sure I will get another ultrasound around 20 weeks and then we will see if I'm carrying a boy or a girl. That's always exciting.
I'm hoping the migraines don't come back during my pregnancy. I would like to be able to enjoy the rest of the pregnancy. It would be a first to be able to enjoy most of my pregnancy. The migraines always overshadowed the good parts of my pregnancies.
I'm hopeful this pregnancy.

9 Weeks Pregnant.....July 12, 2008

Nine weeks today. But I can't wait to get to my second trimester.
No migraines for over a week now! I am so happy about that. I've been having morning sickness and I've felt like sleeping a lot though. I can enjoy spending time with my family a little bit more now. I'm hoping I won't develop more migraines in this or the next two trimesters. I think I can handle that.
We are going to take the fairy across the bay into San Francisco this afternoon. I sure hope the water isn't too rough. I should have taken something just in case. We'll see how it goes.

Morning Sickness Sucks

I'm still feeling very exhausted, mostly from morning sickness. No migraines again. I can get used to this. But, I can't just assume I won't get anymore during my pregnancy. One day at a time.

These headaches hurt....July 8, 2008

I felt very tired today, but no migraines. How nice. I'm praying they have stopped for now.
Possibly the nephedipine is working. I still have headaches and don't feel good. I think the not feeling good is mostly from morning sickness.

8 Weeks Pregnant...July 6, 2008

Today I'm 8 weeks along. Seven more months to go....it seems so far away.
Two more weeks until my first appointment. This appointment is usually when the first ultrasound is performed. I'm looking forward to this day. I sure hope I don't have a migraine that day.
I felt mostly nauseated today and very weak. I hate it when I feel like I have to throw up and nothing happens.
I want to enjoy my pregnancy, but I can't with morning sickness and migraines happening on a daily basis. One doctor told me that when something like migraines happen during pregnancy, that it doesn't usually happen for the whole pregnancy. So, I have hope that the migraines will stop by my next trimester. I only have 4 more weeks until I'm in my second trimester.
I can't wait until these migraines are gone.

I am so exhausted....July 4, 2008

I woke up around 6 a.m. with a migraine. I sure hope they stop soon, I am so exhausted. I took a vicodin and went to back to bed.
I felt well enough to go out and light fireworks with my family. I wore my sunglasses for added protection and I didn't look directly at the bright fireworks. I hope those things will help me in preventing a migraine.
I've noticed lately if I don't eat small meals throughout the day, I feel really sick and weak. I'm trying to eat, but it doesn't want to stay down all the time. I felt nauseated most of the day.
By bed time I hadn't had another migraine.

Migraines while I sleep

I woke up this morning feeling like I had a migraine while I was sleeping. My arm was numb and my head hurt, but I didn't feel all the same things I usually feel when I have a migraine. I feel like I'm getting over them faster or at least I can stand them a bit more than usual. I wonder if it's the nephedipine that I'm taking.
I'm trying not to focus on my next migraine, but to focus more on each migraine free day that comes along.
We went to the fair last night for a few hours and they had fireworks when they closed. I'm just hoping the lights don't bring on a migraine.
I'm taking my kids to see fireworks on the 4th of July and I'm hoping they don't bother me. I'm going to wear my sunglasses anyway, I hope it helps.
I'm still getting some morning sickness throughout the day. I can't wait until that stops.
I'm still hoping for more migraine free days.

No Migraine Today...July 3, 2008

Another day and no migraine. I am having some headaches though. I'm just happy they aren't migraines.
I'm starting to get more morning sickness now. It helps to drink ginger ale and have saltine crackers on hand, they are lifesavers. I'm tired all day long it seems. I can't wait until this trimester ends.
I'm hoping that the migraines stay away for the rest of my pregnancy so I don't have to take any more painkillers.
I'm almost 8 weeks along now and I can't wait until I get to have my first ultrasound. It should be in a couple more weeks or so.

Another Migraine Free Day....July 2, 2008

Ahh, another day with no migraine so far. I'm beginning to feel like I might have a normal pregnancy.
I can finally start to feel excited about the baby on the way. I've even been able to take some time to look online at baby items and stories. I've even added a baby ticker on this blog. I'm optimistic now.
I wonder if anyone has checked out the chinese gender chart. I've looked at a few different ones and they are conflicting. Some say boy and some say girl. I wonder if they are different years or what. I know you are suppose to add 2 years to the mother's age, but some of the charts don't tell you when you're suppose to do that or not.
I haven't decide if I want to find out the sex of the baby/babies or not. I knew with my other two, but I may want to be surprised this time. I may change my mind when I have a sonogram around 18 weeks or so.

Happy to have no migraine today...July 1, 2008

Another day without a migraine. I woke up around 7 a.m. and about an hour later I developed a headache. I'm just happy it wasn't a migraine.
I was able to function today and have a relatively good day.
Today was the first time I could actually drive without worrying about my sight.
I hope I can finish my pregnancy without having a migraine. I've been able to go through the past few days without taking any kind of medication except my daily dose of nephedipine. Maybe it's the nephedipine that is keeping me from getting migraines or maybe not. Whatever the case, I am happy to be migraine free, for now.
