Hello lovely readers. I do apologize for being away for so long, and thank you to all of you who still continued to check in. I am really touched by your care and concern. It was just unbearable for me to keep up with blogging while struggling with all the pregnancy nausea. Now that the "morning" sickness* has finally passed (knock on wood), I plan to update you all with what's been happening with my pregnancy over the last (almost) 21 weeks. I can hardly believe that I am actually typing that...21 weeks of pregnancy. But it is becoming more real all the time. I regret that I wasn't able to document my pregnancy as it progressed from the beginning so that I could look back and remember all the details but the awful nausea was far worse to deal with than I ever imagined. Not to mention being completely exhausted all the time.
It's been so long since I've written anything that I hardly know where to start. It's been a little overwhelming, actually. Every time I would think about writing something, it seemed like such a huge, daunting task that I've been avoiding it for the last three and a half weeks since my nausea has passed. But I might as well start where I left off last fall: my hubby and I are expecting fraternal twins! Both embryos decided my uterus would make a nice home for the next 9 months after our transfer back in September. I've been told by a number of people - friends, family, doctors - that my nausea was so terrible because we are expecting two babies instead of one. Since I have nothing to compare it to, I'll just take their word for it. Seems to make sense anyway - double the hormones!
I'll keep this a short post tonight as I get back into the blogging world again. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm back and that the babies and I are doing well. I hope to catch up with you all again too!
*I have come to loathe the term "morning sickness," especially the "morning" part. My nausea lasted 24 hours a day. I have a feeling whoever came up with that term did not have a uterus.
