Easing up on Mom?

We are back for our weekly installment of what's going on with us little jelly beans (although we are bigger than jelly beans by now) and mommy. We have finished week 9 and are headed into week 10. Mommy had another doctor appointment this Thursday. She's nervous, AGAIN! Mommy stays nervous, we think. She always stresses out each time another doctor's appointment approaches. Last time we were able to ease her mind by letting her hear not one, but two, heartbeats! You would think after that she would be a little calmer, but no. Mommy says she will probably always find something to worry about. She's especially concerned since the past few days we have stopped making her so sick. It has been about 4 days since we woke her up and made her rush to the bathroom. She expected another couple of weeks of sickness. People keep telling her to stop reading so much on the Internet because everyone is different. However, until Thursday afternoon arrives there will probably be no easing of her mind.

Mommy started teaching this week. This was the first week back with her kids. Monday morning mommy was worried we would make her sick all day. We did make her sick when she woke up and didn't ease up on the queasy feeling until mid morning. However, we never made mommy leave her room in a mad dash to get sick. We do make her eat all day long. Mommy had to explain to her students that she had to feed her 2 babies in her belly all the time because we are always hungry. She also made the point that if they make her happy  they make us happy, too. So now mommy's students are constantly asking her if the babies are happy. Mommy had a pretty good week. She woke up early, but she was able to stay awake and do her job throughout the day. When she got home, that was a different story. Mommy would come home and fall into her chair exhausted. Daddy has really been good to us. He cooks for us. Mommy is so thankful for daddy. We think daddy is going to be even better when we arrive.

What's new this week? Well, mommy still wants the occasional cheeseburger from McDonald's. There really hasn't been any late night cravings. Mommy has been trying to eat dinner later so she doesn't get sick early in the morning. Mommy feels that she is leaving the sick phase and entering the "I'm so hungry all the time" phase. We still make mommy sleepy, but most of all we have been causing her back pain. Apparently, we kept daddy awake most of last night because mommy kept tossing and turning due to lack of comfort while sleeping. Mommy admitted to daddy this morning that it is very difficult to find a comfortable position, and the constant night time bathroom breaks don't help either. We ate at the Olive Garden last night with daddy's aunt, grandma, and cousin (who is also having a baby soon). The never ending pasta bowl sounded like a good idea to most everyone, especially the two mommy's to be. Now, mommy's appetite hasn't been that great lately. She eats a little bit of food several times a day. Well last night mommy had a bowl of salad, 2 bread sticks, and 2 bowls of pasta! Hence, mommy wondering if she is entering the "I'm so hungry all the time" phase. As mommy sits typing this, she is wanted to eat again, and she just ate breakfast an hour ago! Also new this week, mommy and daddy trying out different gender predictors to find out if we are boys, girls, or one of each. After reading different gender predictors, mommy has signs of both genders. Then, mommy and daddy performed the wedding ring on a string test. The results showed back and forth and circular motions. So, could we be one of each? Our last picture showed us possible being identical....could something have changed? Guess we will find out Thursday....


This week we are currently the size of a gummy bear, but our home inside mommy is the size of a grapefruit! We are growing, growing, growing!!! What will our picture on Thursday reveal? Stay tuned for next week's installment and our newest picture! We leave you with mommy 10 weeks preggo with us:
