Disappearing weekends...

9weeks2days

It might just be me, but I feel like weekends just disappear with the blink of an eye when you're pregnant! Perhaps it's because I spend so much of my time in bed trying to catch up on rest during the weekend.

I'm actually quite proud of myself as this weekend I did quite a bit.  First, the (wonderful) husband took me to breakfast at one of my favorite local diners since I could finally stomach the idea of food for once!  It scares me a bit that my nausea has disappeared, but I'm trying not to focus on it, and get in as much food/nutrients as I can while it lasts.  After breakfast he agreed to walk around stores with me looking at baby stuff.  We ended up getting two more books for the twin's library - it's the only thing right now that I feel comfortable buying as it's not related to gender at all.  These two are going to have one heck of a library early on!

After our little buy for the twins I talked the husband into going to the mall with me so I could look at some maternity clothing...yeah, yeah, I'm only 9 weeks - I couldn't possibly be showing, right? Well, when's the last time you carried twins?!  Just as the doctor told me - I've started to "pop" a bit earlier than others would and my clothes just don't fit anymore.  Anyway!! Thankfully the ladies at Motherhood were amazing and I was able to find some clothes that fit and were somewhat stylish (Hey, Jessica Simpson - your clothes are adorbs - but really, $70 for a sweater!? Not happening!) and well priced.  Unfortunately, I'm pretty much building a whole new wardrobe - so I was in receipt shock for a good part of the afternoon - as I said, the husband is amazing and didn't even blink an eye!! Love him!!

After that I was spent.  I'm trying to keep myself on a 2-3 hour eating schedule but that shopping trip took it out of me and my blood sugar dropped quickly after swiping the debit card (coincidence?!).  Off to Panera for a quick juice and cookie...disaster avoided!  Later we went to dinner at HuHot, which just opened in town, and then to a friend's house for a movie.  See - it was a busy day!!! So, needless to say, the second I got home I crashed for the night.

Today has been spent much more low-key.  A quick jaunt to the store for lunch & dinner stuff (we're having chicken, stuffing, cranberry sauce & broccoli!! Yum!) skype/facetime with family and I've spent the rest of the afternoon doing laundry and watching TV.  Amazingly enough - I'm spent - again! I could take a nap right now but I know I'd never get to sleep tonight and it'd make for a miserable day tomorrow - so here I am blogging.

I only have about 1 more week to go until I see the twins again - I cannot wait!  I've thought about ordering a fetal doppler online so I can hear their heartbeats at home - but know I'd be using it ever 5 minutes and it'd cause more anxiety than it'd be helpful.  I just worry - which I guess is a natural part of becoming a mom...I just can't wait to see them again!!
