14 weeks!

We've gone from peaches to lemons!  So I guess I am now officially in the fourth "lunar" month of pregnancy, aka the beginning of second trimester, per my new Pregnancy Journal, which has very informative day-to-day information.  The timing is weird, some sites will tell you that sometime in 13 or 14 weeks are the start of 2nd tri.  They will also tell me that I turned over yesterday, today, or tomorrow based on the exact same retrieval/5dt date.  Oh well.  Just thankful as always. :)

Since all the fun of Wednesday, I've been exhausted, but trying to get as much done as I can.  How do I have so much to do and I'm not even working right now?  I apparently have a minor bacterial infection that I get to take antibiotics for the next week to kick.  Oh AB how I love thee?  They mess up my stomach like no other...

I haven't been nauseous in weeks and didn't vomit once in the 1st tri, and even made it completely unscathed through our sailing trip this week, but the latest annoyance is that I gag and lately toss my cookies when brushing my teeth.  Lovely.  I don't want to give up my Sonicare (since obviously not brushing is not a viable option) since it has kept me in tip top cavity free shape for so many years, but after multiple days of cleaning vomit out of the sink, I think I might have to go retro w/a new toothbrush.  Ick.

I am finally up in weight, and a whole six pounds!  I'm not sure where that came from, though my appetite has definitely come roaring back.  I don't have any cravings (a good sign, I think) and pretty much all of my aversions (meat, etc.) are now long gone.

Thankfully we are already very settled in our big family house and I have the big family car, but since we are now expecting twins, the little nursery that's been sitting patiently waiting for its tiny occupant will just be too small for two.  So it will remain guest bedroom #2 for now.  We always planned to convert the current den, across the hall, to a second kid's room/playroom when the time came, but that time is now. :)  My dad is coming down at the end of August to help us finish the wall to close off the room from the living room and add a door in the current doorway opening.  I'll need to have my paint color picked out by then so S can take care of that and we can get moving on starting to put things together.  I can't believe it's only ten weeks until our V-day (my B-day :) ), though obviously we don't plan to be bringing them home until sometime in Dec. at the earliest.

Happy weekend! :)
