Walk of Shame

On Thursday I had an appointment with my OB.  Everything went well, but on my way out I couldn't shake the feeling that something was... well... not quite right. It wasn't until I was about halfway home that I realized what it was...
No underwear.
I had forgotten my underwear in the doctors office!!

I mean seriously, of all the times for pregnancy brain to strike! I was so embarrassed, I called my husband and told him what I had done. His response was to laugh so hysterically that I thought he might be crying! So much for sympathy! Then he asked if I was going to go back for them! Really?? As if I'm going to drive back there (mind you someone else is probably in the room by now) and be like "Hi, I think I forgot my underwear... Do you have a lost and found". Hell no.

My only hope is that they fell behind a chair or somewhere inconspicuous so that by the time they found them they wouldn't know whose they were!

Anyway the good news is that the twins are looking great. I actually had to go in to the hospital for another hour long anatomy scan on Saturday to make sure that both twins were developing at the same pace. They are, and right now that's all that matters :)

Pictures and Stats

My parents are still here visiting (well, my step dad left, but my mom extended her stay until next week), so I've had no time to be on here at all! Even now we're about to head out, so here is an update in pics and stats!

21 weeks


So, I was too lazy to upload a picture this week, so instead, I thought I'd post one of how I feel- in a word, HUGE!

How far along: 21 weeks, 3 days

Symptoms:  Fatigued, sore boobs, short of breath, racing heart, zero appetite, heartburn, constant peeing, can't sleep.

Baby Related Purchases:  We now have 2 cribs in a painted room!!! Complete with bedding that my MIL made for us, and a dresser.

Maternity Clothes:  Entirely!! I have gotten way too huge to even imagine being able to fit into my regular clothes. I have noticed however, that although I love my full panel pants, they make my belly itch like CRAZY! I mean, I literally can't go more than about 15 seconds (even that's pushing it) without clawing at my belly when I wear them.

Sleep:  Ever so slightly better, I'm still up about 3 times a night to pee, and rolling from side to side hurts my belly, so it must be done with extreme care!

Best Moment of the Week:  Seeing my doctor a week after the anatomy scan, having her go through the results with me, and being assured that everything looks perfect and on track :) Of course seeing my babies at the appointment was amazing as always! Also found out  that I'm already measuring 4 weeks ahead of where I am!

Strangest Moment: I know I said it in my last post, but it's still so strange and surreal to me to see our former guest room as a nursery. We are getting the bedding piece by piece in the mail as my MIL makes it, so every few days the room looks a little different as the cribs look more and more "finished".

Movement: Lots!

Cravings: nada

Gender: boy and girl

Belly Button: Flat! It's actually been pretty flat for almost two weeks, although now it seems to be making it's way out!

What I miss: Sleep, energy, a love for food.

What I am looking forward to: My parent's are coming to visit for a week and get in today!
