Our Hands Are Full With Hearts To Match

Man, I am paranoid...

and I hope it's for nothing. Jeff and I began talking about the ob/gyn appointment last night (our schedules and whether they would do an ultrasound or not). I worry that they won't. I am still worried about the babies and wonder if my stomach bug did them any harm. I have talked to Jeff about it and the fact I worry that one or both won't have a heartbeat now. He thinks that I am paranoid and he is good natured about reminding me that I am getting pudgier (I don't really think so for twins) and that just because I'm not puking, exhausted or starving doesn't mean anything is wrong (giving me examples of my mom, who apparently wasn't sick with any of us, and my friend Brooke who was not sick with either of her sets of twins either).

But the paranoia must have rubbed off because I had at least a couple of dreams last night where we went to the ob/gyn appointment and they did an ultrasound and in one dream there were nothing but empty sacks (no babies) and the other there were no heartbeats. Needless to say not the most restful of nights.

Only a few more days and I can hopefully find I have nothing to worry about. If Dr L doesn't give me an ultrasound I believe I'll express my concerns over lack of morning sickness and early on stomach bug and see if I can sway her otherwise. Hopefully they will just plan on doing one though. Crossing fingers until then.

PS As to a 9 week update...nothing is new really. I feel bloated sometimes which I guess is good. The nectarine(s) that I so looked forward to eating made me throw up...so I gave the rest to Jeff and he said they didn't taste right either and we threw them away :P

I know it's difficult not to worry...I felt the same with our daughter. However, I do look back on it and wish I could have relaxed a little more during my pregnancy. Be healthy and treat your body right--that's all you can do now. When those little peanuts are born, you'll wish you didn't worry so much! :) So no worries (easier said than done, I know!)
