The first trimester is almost over! Only a week and a bit to go and we’ll be in the much more comfortable second trimester (although I confess that these three months have been so easy – ok, relatively easy – compared to other stories about pregnancy that I’ve heard. But I wasn’t referring to physical comfort anyway; I was referring to the ease of mind of knowing that the longer I stay pregnant, the more chances I have of actually having the twins…)
On Wednesday next week I have the dating scan, and you can’t believe how much I am looking forward to it. My last scan with Mr O’Sullivan now seems like a million years ago, and I want to have another “encounter” with the twins and say hello 🙂 – Plus I want a professional person to tell me finally what’s the expected due date… Although I already know that the chances of it being on June 15th are very very slim. Only a very small percentage of twin pregnancies reach the 40 week term.
And what else… This week I’ve had a few more episodes of both nausea and mood swings. The nausea wasn’t too bad, and only once I thought I was going to actually be sick, but then nothing happened. The mood swings have been legendary, honestly. On Monday I threw a few tantrums in the office, and I was in a terrible mood. I was literally barking at anything or anyone! I had to apologise to a couple of work colleagues the following day… I must try to hold myself back a bit more at work… (and at home!)
My boss told me today that I am starting to show bump. And I think he may be right. Normal pregnancies don’t start showing obvious bump until about week 15, but mustn’t forget that with twins everything is bigger, faster* and sooner! (Don’t think that faster really applies, but the sentence sounds better with it, hehe)
I am really “desperate” to be able to tell people (I have already published the news in my personal blog!), but as I said the other day, we’d rather wait till the scan… Not long to wait now! Only a few more days 🙂
I think I’m going to start doing profile pictures from next week…
I think I need to start wearing make up for these photos… I look ill!
Love this blog…
Enhorabuena María 😉
