The Penrod Page: July 2016

So I haven't posted too much about my pregnancy and I thought I should write down my thoughts and experience so far with my twin pregnancy.

February 2016--I suspected I might be pregnant because of the fertility treatments I had been on in January. Even though there were two eggs on the ultrasound I had on the 1st, my doctor said the chance of twins was only 5%, I didn't think much about it being a possibility and was just excited to see if I would be able to get pregnant. Around the 16th I took a test and it was positive, then another and another and another! We were still scared of the possibility of another miscarriage so we kept pretty quiet.

March 2016--About a week before St. Patrick's day I was having some complications and called my doctor, he had me get some blood work done and told me everything was fine. Three days later I called the office again and told them I was worried, they had me come in for an ultrasound and that's when I saw the TWO LITTLE ONES and was shocked by the news of TWINS! I showed Keith the ultrasound and he didn't see that it was twins right away but after I told him to look again he realized, both Keith and Carson were elated and so were our parents when we called them. I don't think my dad believed me at first (haha), this makes 41 grandkids for my parents and 7 for Keith's parents. This month was full of constant headaches everyday, all day, but no morning sickness.

April 2016--First real appointment and first time starting to show. Headaches still pretty much everyday, no morning sickness. Hungry, hungry, hungry.

May 2016--It was exciting to have another ultrasound (one a month). Headaches are less and less but still there. Still hungry.

June 2016-- On the 2nd we had an ultrasound with a specialist from Denver to find out the genders. We were so excited to announce that a boy and a girl would be joining our family in the Fall. Pretty much over my headaches, gotta make sure I get my rest though. Hungry all the time. We took basically our only trip of the summer to Boise to see my family for a week and Logan, Ut for a few days for Keith's niece's blessing.

July 2017--Getting big fast, I'm almost as big as I was when I had Carson at 38 weeks. It's getting hot out, I probably get Sonic half off drinks too much, and I mostly just want to stay inside with the AC on. I now have two appointments and ultrasounds a month, one with Denver, and one with my doctor.

I've taken a week by week pic so far (don't mind a few of them where my hair and makeup are neglected that week--must of been a bad headache week)
