Time Change

As if I'm not already walking around like a zombie, lets lose an hour tonight.  Thank goodness ISTEP was last week.  Everyone is going to be exhausted this week trying to adjust and "spring forward".  I am so proud of Zac.  I know he tried very hard on ISTEP.  He's already talking about how hard he's going to try on IREAD.  Abby has been working very hard as well.  I am so lucky to have such wonderful children!

So, I found another neat website.  You can enter in the babies length in millimeters and it will tell you their gestational age.  I did this with my previous ultrasound results and it matches what the Dr. said.  Even if the babies are still a day behind, I was wrong 2 days ago.  The babies are starting to grow faster than 1 mm a  day according to this: http://www.perinatology.com/calculators/Crown%20Rump%20and%20Nuchal%20Translucency.htm

Measuring a day behind at 10 weeks, they would have been 30 mm or 1.18 inches.  Today at 10 weeks 2 days, but measuring a day behind, they should be around 32-33 mm or 1.26-1.30 inches.  Zac and Abby can't wait to see my belly grow.  They want to feel the babies move.  They are very excited about being an older sibling.  They're always telling me things that they're going to teach the babies.  It's so cute!  We are so lucky!

I feel mostly bloated right now.  I have less than a week left taking progesterone.  I'm hoping some of the bloating and constipation will go away after I'm done with it.  They are the WORST side effects.  I've seriously contemplated buying prune juice like an old person.  I'm rarely nauseous, so that part is great!  I'm exhausted all of the time.  It is so worth it!  I told Shawn that it has taken us so long to get pregnant, that I won't complain about how bad I feel.  I did complain the other night.  He reminded me of what I said.  I told him that I might have some tummy issues, but it was more than worth it.  Progesterone supplements are the worst!

I dreamed about the babies last night.  Actually, it was this morning after Shawn left for work.  I went back to sleep.  I dreamed about being in the hospital with them.  I dreamed about showing Shawn how to properly strap them in car-seats and then leaving the hospital.  The babies were SO CUTE in my dream.  I can't wait until this becomes a reality!

Have a great weekend!
