!6 Weeks and Counting!

We are officially four months pregnant! The time has flown by, and it is hard to believe in six months or less we will have two bundles of joy to love! This past Thursday I had to be put in the hospital due to having Ketones. They kept me over night and I was released Friday afternoon. This resulted due to dehydration after excessive nausea and vomiting. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't keep fluids down! I am currently seeking out those individuals who told me nausea would officially subside after the first trimester. :) One fhing is for sure, these babies are absolutely worth it. I will experience anything for those two!

So far I haven't had a lot of food cravings, but certainly a lot of food aversions. I thought I would start a list and add to it as I go along, so here we are:

FOOD CRAVINGS:

Anything grape flavored, ranch dressing, pizza, PICKLES (including the juice), squash casserole, spaghetti, regular chips, steak, Junior roast beefs from Arby's, Lemon water

FOOD AVERSIONS:

Chicken fingers (used to be my favorite), french fries, ANYTHING sweet (the twins send it back nearly everytime), certain cheeses, hamburger steak, ice cream, most fish or seafood items

My third doctor's visit went really well! My blood pressure was 110/80 and I had gained 3.5 lbs! I have now gained 9 pounds so far and they have recommended 45-50 lbs for twins. We heard both baby's heartbeats and at this visit they were 154 (Baby B) and 152 (Baby A). I must say that hearing their heartbeats is simply the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced. On August 9th we will get the "long" ultrasound and get to find out their genders (fingers crossed). I am SO ready to be able to refer to them by gender and name. The most important thing is that they are healthy though! I must say I would LOVE any combination of genders. Boys to take care of their mama, girls to rule the house with, or one of each!!!
