Trying to stay in it, keeps getting harder. #3

[in_it]

I got to see & hear both heartbeats yesterday! Last week when the doctor discovered it was twins we could only make out one heartbeat. It was awesome. Everything looks good. The doc had told me to hold off on exercise last week. He said yesterday I could continue to exercise as long as I watched my heart rate & we would evaluate at each appt. He is a little concerned about the babies growing big. Twins are typically smaller anyhow & I don't really have a torso, so he doesn't know where they will grow. He told me this when I asked about bed rest.

I had to go on bed rest with both of my girls at the end, so that is also why he said he will probably push for it. I'm not as freaked out about it any more. There is a calmness going on & I like it. I know I just freaked out in the moment last week when finding out I was having twins & in the next breath him saying he puts moms with multiples on bed rest pretty early.

Still haven't told H & for some reason it really isn't bothering me. I'm sure it will consume me again sometime soon & I deal with it when it comes up.

I will say I am extremely exhausted & tired. I guess that's preparing me for the life of busy, busy twins! Papa4life-how old were your twins when they started sleeping through the night? I hope this side effect wears off soon. Other than a little morning sickness (ok, every morning) I'm doing good.

Tallula, thank you so much for your insight. You being able to tell me your feelings & emotions as a pregnant woman is great. Thank you.
