13 Weeks!

Last week of the first trimester...crazy!

Changes this week:  My jeans are too tight.  No bump yet to justify my overly tight pants, so I'm just feeling extra pudgy.  Time to go maternity clothes shopping, some of those maternity jeans look really cute and comfortable! No other specific changes this week, although the fatigue may be lessening, sometimes it's hard to tell if it's still fatigue or me just staying up too late. 

Looking forward to:  My first appointment with the doctor I hope to see for the duration of the pregnancy.  I've heard such amazing things about him, I've seriously never been so excited to go to a doctor appointment!  Tom and I are also anxiously awaiting these little twins to get big enough so we can find out if we're having boys or girls!

Frustrations:  I know this isn't such a big deal all said and done but I'm getting a little irritated with all the people asking if Tom and I did fertility treatments since we're having twins.  I guess this question makes me prickly because I really don't feel like it's anyone's business how a baby is conceived, whether it was the "old fashioned way" or if technology lends a hand.  I know people are curious since twins (especially identicals) are pretty uncommon.  So sorry if you're reading this and you're one of the people that asked me.  Maybe it's just the constant bombardment with this question that's starting to get on my nerves.  I guess I should get used to it, I'm sure people's comments (both positive and negative) will continue to bombard us after their born.  Is it bad I'm already thinking of smart-ass remarks to comments like "better you than me!" or "wow, twins! So glad that isn't me!" Yes, so am I, you're clearly not up to the task to handle it.  I'll be honest, I was overwhelmed at the thought at first and still am a little, but we've been chosen to parent these babies for a reason.  So please, keep the negative comments to yourself.
