Just wanted to give a quick update. I'm at 13 weeks and 5 days and everything is looking good. We have ultrasounds every two weeks at this point, so I'm never going to have to go very long without getting reassured that these guys are doing AOK.
Our reduction was successful and complication free and I am happy to talk about it in more detail to anyone who is curious or facing a decision about such things. I now have two healthy looking fetuses growing in there. Today they were waving their tiny little arms all over the place at us! Saw my beloved Dr. Norrell and talked about all the ways the birth of these twins might go, so we're getting ahead of ourselves in a good way!
I lost a lot of weight in the first trimester (which I am technically in for another week or so) - was pretty awful sick all the time, but am finally feeling better and am able to eat. Overnight between Saturday and Sunday my belly suddenly became unfamiliar to me. Basically I look like I have a little beer belly, but it isn't!
Twin pregnancy is definitely different than single pregnancy. I have a LOT of appointments, and am with a doctor more often than a midwife. TWO BABIES WOAHS!
I spent most of the past week in Chicago having one of the most amazing experiences of my life as a member of the 2015 Caldecott Committee and now am back home and getting back to normal.
