First trimester complete

I have officially hit 13 and weeks and made it to the second trimester.  Always been a good feeling!  I thought a good summary of what this first trimester of twins would be a good idea.

 This is the day or the day after I realized I was pregnant.  Visiting Nebraska a life-long friend, Taylor and I went swimming.  On the way to the pool an incredible, ravishing hunger for savory food hit me--I've met this hunger before only twice.  I knew pregnancy had hit once again.

We came home to MN a day later and the hunger and fatigue set in.  I had brief moments of wondering if this was worse than the first 2 times, but figured it was the same.  I do believe that a tender mercy of heaven is forgetting what the worst parts of pregnancy/labor/delivery are like...because then you want to do it again ;)

This is the set of pictures we mailed to my family members to break the pregnancy news.  They all received this on Saturday, March 14th.

There began to be a lot of laying down/eating simultaneously...like this Sunday afternoon where Perris joined me for pizza in bed followed by a nap.  Naps became necessary--and I really do not like napping.  My stomach felt bigger fast!

 March 17th we got the twin news.  I realized I surely was much more tired than the first 2 pregnancies.

This is me at around 11 weeks.  Buttoning my regular jeans did not feel good, and my brother in law found this particularly entertaining.  That's his caption, too.  He's a real sweetheart ;)

12 weeks I put my jeans away and accepted that many parts of me were growing!!  I'm somewhere in-between regular clothes and maternity clothes and its always the most uncomfortable place to be.  

...Except when you're 42 weeks pregnant...that's the most uncomfortable place to be!

They say 37 weeks is about the limit with my mono/di (same placenta/separate sacs) twins...I imagine I'll feel about 42 weeks pregnant at 37 weeks (if not more!!!), so that's nice to know I've been this place before.  ON to the second trimester & not feeling nauseous!
