Pregnant with twins after IVF.

Saturday, January 23, 2010

18 weeks today! This is really starting to move along for me now. The first 12 weeks went so slowly I was afraid the rest of this pregnancy would be the same. It helps that we are so busy at work right now that I'm putting in full days on the weekends as well as overtime during the week.

I am hoping going the extra mile now will grease my boss for when I suggest going down to four days a week after our Feb. 28 deadline. I don't think he will mind, everyone here has been really great. 

I felt the babies kick (from the outside) again last night. I was waiting in my van in the rec centre parking lot, killing time (napping) until Ms. O finished swimming when I felt those pokes again. I put my hand on my belly and sure enough one of the babies kicked hard enough to move my hand. I'm such a glutton for baby kicks now. I can't get enough! Unfortunately they seem to be few and far between. I'm hope in a month I'll be on the other side of the fence wondering when they are going to let me get some rest!

I'm having trouble telling them apart by their movements right now, Baby A (on the top bunk) seems a lot higher than last week and Baby B (bottom bunk) still seems really low still but most of the kicks and nudges I feel are right in the middle. I can tell who is who when they are rolling around but they seem to be pretty shy about letting me know who the kick culprit is. I guess the ultrasound on Friday will put their positions back into perspective for me.

Well, back to work for me...at least the extra money will come in handy when we start buying baby stuff (at this rate it won't be until the babies are born).

  1. Wow. That's awesome! I haven't felt anyone from the outside yet. I've felt the occasional roll and flip on the inside, but like you, I'm definitely looking forward to it being more regular.

    And yes, working seems to make the time fly past.

    I also have my anatomy ultrasound this week and I'm SO looking forward to it. Here's hoping the babies are cooperative!
