What a night....

technically it is still night time.  It is 4:45 as I begin to type this.  I have been awake for the past 3+ hours tossing and turning.  First my soar throat woke me up and I had to get a cough drop, while I was awake I went ahead and used the opportunity to pee & blow my nose.  Well, when I got back and bed and hoped to fall right back asleep that was a joke.  My soar throat has gotten worse, my head began to have another head ache from blowing my nose and now the worst case of heartburn has come on IN MY LIFE!!!  The burning starts right below where my raw throat hurts and goes down into my stomach.  But that not all, my back and shoulder muscles have tightened up and no position is comfortable.  So, I took some tums and kept trying to get comfy.  I even tried the couch.  After that didn't' work I woke Chris up and got him to massage my shoulders, which did help for the 10 minutes he did it, the then scratched my back and went back to sleep.  I think I may have dosed off for a few minutes but then the heartburn and muscle cramping in my back hit me like a brick wall and I was wide awake again.  So, here I am at now almost 5am awake squinting at the PC screen b/c I didn't put my contacts in and every few minutes I have to blow my nose e or take a break to massage my aching shoulders.

I know I asked for this pregnancy and  Iam not complaining, but yes I am complaining.  Why did this heartburn attack have to happen when I am trying to get over this horrible head cold.  I hope I am not gong to make this heart bun wost but I am hungy so I am gong to SLOWLY eat a 1/2 bagel with just a little butter, can I get any more bland?  You shouold have seen all the typos before I fixed them and if this post doesnt't make any sense, I appoligize.  if you got this far reading tgis thanks for listening to a crazy sick lady on the middle of the night.

15 weeks

How far along: 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 10 pounds, weighed in this morning we are right on track for twins!
Maternity clothes: yup
Stretch marks: nope, but did buy some coco butter/shea butter lotion this morning on the way to work.
Sleep:  still getting up to use the restroom 4 plus times a night, I did make myself a pillow out of extra memory foam from our mattress pad.  We named it the square sponge bob pillow.   
Best moment this week:   relief of switching doctors 
Gender: to early to know still, but thinking they are boys hoping at our next DR apt on the 17th they will do an U/S and we might find out!
Belly button in or out?: In, but it is wider and not as deep
Craving: not much this week, most food doesn't sound very appetizing.  
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach
What I am looking forward to:  Feeling them move, I may have felt a few little flutters/popcorn popping sensations but until they are more frequent I can't be sure. Finding out the sex of these little ones!  I can't wait and I am NOT a patient person......urgh!

baby center dot com: Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")  The picture is of twins at 16 weeks, hey close enough for me!! Wanted to post it while I saw it! 

Belly pic hopefully to be taken tomorrow, poor husband was so sleepy and sick this morning I couldn't ask him to get out of bed.  

blood type

So, I called my "old" dr office that I am switching away from to ask my blood type.  In the computer, they have me switching to another dr office, but then when she retrieved my file she realized she didn't have the consent form to release my file (therefore it was not sent as I was informed).  After some consulting with another lady (which I could hear EVERYTHING-they were very confused and some shuffling of papers) she found the release form that I faxed last week and was going to make sure to send my file today to my "new" dr office. 

I was going to call the "new" office to find out my blood type, but then decided just to call the "old" office and I am glad I did!!  This way at our DR apt on the 17th they will have all my information.

Anyway, I am O positive.  Just thought it would be good to know.  Now, I wonder what blood type Chris is.....

cool twin article

http://www.newsweek.com/id/225492

This is about Chinese twins separated at birth and then how they found each other and their adopted families, a really sweet article-worth the read. 

who wants to buy me these?

I need these....though I don't know where I found this picture.....

announcement

I have officially divorced under-wire bras until further notice. 

i've offically switched DR's

I have been having some reservations about my doctors office for a while.  Mostly, it seems there is a serious disorganization there and several other friends that are patients have had some "bad" experiences.  The last thing I want at the end of this pregnancy is stress and regret about not switching doctors. 

I feel so much better about switching back to my old doctors office, even though they are going to make me repeat the health education with the nurse and it is going to cost us some extra money, but in the long run it will be worth it.  I haven't had anything but great experiences with this doctors office. 

Today I had to:

1. call my old "new" dr office and set up appointments
2. call the other dr to get my file transfered
3. fax in the release to transfer my file
   
4. call the money department to get a credit for services paid for that I haven't used

I am hoping at the apointment on the 17th they will do an ultrasound and we might find out the sex of these 2 beans that I am cookin!
