Sorry for the delinquency in blogging. Since our last post I have been pretty much useless- constantly exhausted, nauseous, killer headaches and always hungry. Sounds like fun, right? Some days it takes every ounce of energy I have to drag my bum out of bed and get to work on time, only to come home and go right back to bed. Sleep has been my very best source of comfort lately, and I just can't seem to get enough of it. That and grilled cheese sandwiches. Being pregnant with twins has not been as bad as I imagined it would be. No major morning sickness to speak of, just sick (nauseous) all the time, not just in the mornings. I am still able to put in a full weeks work, which some days is a LOT harder than others. I have TRIED to keep up with the housework, but I'll admit, most days it looked like a bomb went off- the laundry gets washed and dried but it stays in a huge pile on the bedroom floor that we just dig through each morning to get clean clothes from. The dishes are a constant force to be reckoned with and most days the dishes win. The cats spend the midnight hours destroying my dried flower arrangement leaving bits of weeds and flowers everywhere, cat food spilled from their bowls, and their water cooler tipped over getting the floor soaked. While my house is destroyed, my husband exhausted from working his usual 60 hour weeks and picking up the slack from my lack of household help, and me barely having the motivation or energy to do my hair or make up each day, we are so blessed, and so happy to have these little wonders growing every day! I cannot wait to meet them next year, and look forward to the wonderful things they will bring to our family. So yes, while I vent and whine about how awful I feel, I can't help but smile when I think of why I feel so gross, and am thankful every day that I have them.

Hey Sarah. Sorry you're feeling like crap. Stinks that it comes with the territory, eh? I hope you feel better soon. I know I felt just like you w/ both pregnancies (not sick, but constantly not feeling good), but both times I started feeling tons better at exactly 13 weeks (beg. 2nd tri). So hopefully yours will too!
The tiredness does get better. I remember the day the doctor told me with Twins you will get double the tiredness and double the morning sickness. I was blessed to not get the morning sickness but man the tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks. After the first trimester you should get a boost of energy and the tiredness doesn't seem so bad. Your still get tired but nothing like what your experiencing. I hope your feel better soon. Once you can feel those sweet babies moving around it makes everything sooo worth it. Keep me posted on how your doing. Your doing a great job little Mommy!
Yup, I've been there. And don't worry about the house...you'll find it's just as messy when they come to. Hope you feel better!
Isn't it fun to get a taste of what life will be like with kids before they even come? As I was reading your post, I was totally relating with everything you were saying . . . in fact I am sitting right next to my own pile of laundry that hasn't been folded! Hope you get feeling better so you can enjoy the pregnancy and get some energy stored up for things to come!
Well, feeling like this feels awful. Its tough having a family. Its a lot of work, but in the end it will be worth it. I hope your hanging in there, good luck with everything and CONGRATS. Twins!! May be miserable now but just think 2 babies, one pregnancy... not too bad of a trade off.
I'm sorry you've been feeling so crummy. But I agree with Cari (did you know she was my cousin, by the way??) two babies, one pregnancy, you lucked out!! Hang in there, it is definitely going to be worth it!
