Weeks 11 and 12

I can't believe 8 weeks ago today Jake and I found out we were pregnant. And 7 weeks ago today we found out there was two babies not just one. These past few weeks have absolutely flown by. It seems like there isn't even enough time in a week to get a picture of the ever growing belly.

Jake has started summer basketball and is busy most days of the week. By the time he gets home from games in La Conner, Everett or where ever else they play, the sun has gone down and we cant get a picture for the week. I have decided I need to have someone just volunteer to take a picture of me in front of our house every week...any takers???

I found the picture above on babycenter.com. I love seeing the difference between a singleton pregnancy and twins. I know they grow at pretty much the same rate but seeing a picture with two little ones is very cool. This week each baby is about the size of a lime and growing very quickly.

Over the past 2 weeks it feels like there have been so many changes and new things in our world.

**Like I mentioned before, Jake's team started their summer league and he has been really busy with that. I do miss him being around every night but at the same time I love the time to just relax, watch my shows and sleep if I want to. It has made it really hard to get in a picture. We are going to get better at getting weekly pictures, even if Jake thinks they are silly. I want to have a picture for each week to keep in a scrap book along with all our ultra sound pictures. I have had fun going to the games on the weekend though. It was so cute the first week when the mom's would come up to me and tell me their sons to them we were having twins. I love that the boys thought this was some thing their moms' would want to know and that they are talking to their parents. I know at that age, not every child talks to their parents. It gave me some hope.

**On Thursday of last week heartburn did make its first appearance of the pregnancy. That is not 100% correct, I have heartburn once in a blue moon over the last 8 weeks or so. But Thursday was just stupid. I really hope this doesn't keep up and become an every day thing. Speak of the devil, here we go again. Ugh. This momma is so not a fan of heartburn. Although, I am willing to bet that no pregnant woman is.

**I can feel...pulling I guess is the best word for it. Not really a fan of this feeling but from what I understand it is some thing I will just have to live with. Some times it feels like pulling. Other times it feels like...I don't even know how to explain it. But it means they are growing so I am ok with it :O)

**I still haven't really had any morning-sickness or cravings. I have found that some foods I like today I will probably not be able to stand in a week or two. Milk has become one of my favorite things to drink. We, haha that's funny. Let me rephrase that. I have started to go through almost a gallon in 2 days. From what I hear the milk drinking will only grow just like my belly.

**And that brings me to my belly. My belly, as you can tell, is growing very quickly. Much quicker then I thought it would actually. But I guess with the two babies being about the size of a lime each this week and, depending on where you get your information, about the size of a peach next week the belly has to grow quickly.
**This is my last week of shots! Thursday will be the last day of the progesterone shots I hopefully ever have to have. And its a good thing too because every place Jake tries to use is already sore and recovering from a previous shot. I will have had over 90 shots of progesterone when all is said and done. I am sooooo very excited for the part of our journey to be over.

**I really miss the ladies in Dr. B's office. I have seen them at least twice a month for almost the past year. They are amazing ladies and I miss seeing them. That reminds me, I really need to make a card and send it up to them. That is just how the ladies are. They are people you want to keep in touch with. Oh how I miss them. Nina, Karen and Jenn!

It is not even 8 o'clock and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I better end this post, put in a girly movie, and try to get some sleep. Between the allergies and having to get up at least 3 times a night, I am absolutely exhausted. I will leave you all with one more belly picture. It was also taken today but this shirt doesn't make it as easy to get a true belly picture. Have a great week all!
