My first trimester progressed nicely. I was incredibly blessed to have no throwing up, just an ample amount of nausea to be reassuring. The only other difference I noticed from my first pregnancy was the fatigue. There were times I just go so wiped out I would fall asleep sitting up. I would have trouble keeping my eyes open in the afternoon sometimes even when I was working. The patrons I was helping probably thought I was on something since I literally had to fight to keep my eyelids from drooping. Needless to say, Mt. Dew became my lunchtime buddy!
After what seemed like an eternity, it was time for our second ultrasound. The babies were measuring exactly right at our first ultrasound and had normal heartbeats (for teeny beans) so we went to the appointment very hopeful. Unfortunately we knew the risk of vanishing twin syndrome so early on was not insignificant, and in fact in the waiting room we met another couple (who had an appointment the same day as our first ultrasound...small world!) who had lost their second baby. So with that we went in, and this is what we saw:
2 beautiful babies, two perfect heartbeats, and as the doctor put it "appropriate interval growth!" I think this is the first time we allowed ourselves to think it might all be OK, we might actually be having twins! (And someday they'd grow into their heads!)
