11 weeks

I sit here, eating a pickle, wondering how slow yet fast time has gone. I feel like I've been preggers forever but at the same time it feels like 5 weeks was just yesterday. Weird! This week draws the end of my first trimester (Thank ya Jesus!!) Hopefully the all day sickness senses it's cue to exit as well. This is a big mile stone for us. While we have plenty more, our chances of miscarriage are greatly decreased by the closing of the first tri. Our next goal is 24 weeks, V-day. V-day or viability day is when if our babies are born then they have a fighting chance to survive. I of course will force these children in as long as I can, but V-day is an important day. I think we are starting to settle into the idea of twins. We have been just us for so long it will be weird to have two other breathing humans in our house. G said tonight, while Boston who thinks he can talk was barking away, "I can't wait for the babies to come so we can actually communicate!" I wonder if he knows they don't talk when they come out?

Not much to tell you all this week. Same ol' eat, sleep, try not to puke, belly getting rounder. Same as last week. But I tell ya, these little buggers grow fast. My belly seems more baby than pizza and pickles by the day. Sleeping has become interesting to say the least. My dreams get weirder by the night. G and I were Mr. and Mrs. Smith the other day. I mean I know I'm the spitting image of Angelina Jolie and everything but I couldn't be an assassin.

Here's the what's on the mcnoogets this week
"Starting with this week, the baby is now called a fetus. The most critical part of the baby's development is over. This is a period of rapid growth, and the baby is about an inch or so in length at the beginning of the week and will be about 2 inches by the end of the week. The baby's head is about half its length. The eyelids will fuse shut, and the irises will begin to develop. Sometime during this week or the next week, blood will begin to circulate between the baby and uterus and the placenta starts to function."

And they look a little like this.....

And this my friends is a taste of what is to come (now you know why I'm a little freaked!)

There are only 2 words to describe this .....H-O-L-Y H-E-L-L!!! I fully acknowledge every one's body is different but I swear on my life I haven't seen a "small" or "average" sized twin baby belly. I laughed and I cried at the same time when I googled twin baby bellies. You will find me perched on the couch when this happens. HOLY HELL
