It has been awhile since I have posted a recent update so here goes...I had my 15 week check up last Wednesday which was uneventful after sitting in the waiting room an hour before heading back to the exam room. Ah the joys of quality healthcare :) I have officially gained 2 pounds although I definitely don't look like it. I look like I have swallowed a pony keg that unfortunately I am unable to tap at the moment. I also found out that instead of having our BIG ultrasound at 20 weeks like the rest of the pregnant women out there we get to wait until 23 weeks...yup June 22nd is our BIG day to finally find out what we have cookin' in the oven. Rob and I have to wait to see the specialist which wanted us to come back at that time to check for malformation which can happen with IVF pregnancies apparently...so hopefully that malformation dosen't involve the gender?!?! I picked out some color swatches this weekend for the nursery but I really want to know what we are having before I go hog wild. And I bit the bullet....
I broke down and ventured the mall scene this weekend in hopes of finding materniy clothing...I did finally find a pair of Jeans and some capri's...This nice lady helped my figure out what the hectic to do with this strange clothing and then looked at me...How far along are you anyway..me in the RED FACE oh 16 weeks but it's with twins if that makes sense of the belly :) Anywho I might stick to online shopping for awhile and send back what I hate ...our visit my friend Ali to beg for her collection of maternity wear...She was always better at the shopping scene than me....Ok so the doctor recommended us taking this birthing course this summer but everyone I have talked to said that it is unneccessary...I don't want to get freaked out by some nasty birthing video's and practice breathing methods...so I am trying to decide if I should just forgo the class and hope that I have a FABULOUS nurse to walk me through..I mean hopefully by the time I regret that I didn't take the birthing class the epidural will kick in right? hmm just a thought...
