Friday – September 30, 2005 – Almost 17 Weeks
Not a very exciting week this time. Lots of stretching and I’m getting huge. I’m a source of much enjoyment (amusement?) to those around me. I’m definitely a bit self-conscious about my size. I’m finding it awkward already to go out in public and I’m not even halfway through. I’m roughly the size of someone at 22 weeks. I definitely try to wear things that minimize my appearance (if that’s possible). I’m not ashamed to be pregnant with twins (it’s fun and different), I simply want to look as small as I can while I can.
I do get overwhelmed easily and emotional at unexpected times. I think these things are very normal for the amount of hormones involved in a twin pregnancy though.
I feel Baby “A” a lot! He’s very busy. I don’t feel Baby “B” much at all though. I think it might be because of his position. If he’s facing my back I won’t feel all of the moves and jabe from hands, feet, knees and elbows if they are all going into my organs.
I realized today that reality hasn’t truly set in yet, which shocks me a bit, but it will come (hopefully slowly) as I get further along I’m sure.
I have a doctor appointment next Thursday, so till then . . .
