I realized I had forgotten to write my update as I was crawling my tired butt into bed last night, and I'm thankful that I'm motivated enough to even do it tonight! I had a very long day! We had the house painted today, and while it looks terrific and shiny and new, the girls were a pain in the ass all.day.long.
I can't normally complain about taking care of them, I'm usually alone with them from morning until night doing everything by myself (just call me a single mom on the majority of days), but it's like a whole new dynamic when H is home, because the girls KNOW he's here and I KNOW he's not helping me at all. They get all whiny and complain and cry whenever he walks out of the room, or when they see him and he doesn't pick them up and give them attention. And it's not jealousy, they do the exact same thing to me, which is why I've taken to hiding just to get them to play for a little while, cause if they see me all hell breaks lose. H has no concept of this, he's in and out of the house all day long today, and all day long they see him and cry and cry... I didn't leave the play room all freakin' day, and even while I was in there he's walking in and out, in and out (which is a pet peeve of mine in the first place) and they're in there (with me!) crying and freaking out every time! At the end of the day, mommy had herself a good cry too, cause I just could not take it anymore! He wasn't even helpful about it, acted like it was MY fault that they were crying, even though I was doing everything I could to entertain them, which included the pull all of mommy's hair out of her head game, and I'm pretty sure I should have a fat lip and a bunch of scratches all over my face too!
Anyway, they're sleeping now, I'll be sleeping soon... tomorrow is a new day! Only 2 days until I officially reach the 2nd trimester! A pretty big milestone!
I also scheduled a 3D/4D ultrasound for next Friday. They said there is a 96% success rate at predicting the gender at 14 weeks, so I'll be 14 weeks and 2 days with a baby that is measuring at least 5 days ahead... so I'll theoretically be like 15 weeks right? haha I'm excited anyway! It's really cheap, you get 25 minutes of ultrasound in amazing detail, a dvd and a bunch of pictures, and a gender guess! I'm going to walmart right afterwards and buying either a blue or pink outfit and wrapping it up with the pictures and giving it to H, because it's going to be a surprise for him since he told me I couldn't do the ultrasound in the first place haha I'm not going to tell any family or friends what gender they predict until we get a more definitive announcement at the 18-19 week anatomy scan, but at least I'll know!
Symptoms - Most noticeable is that I'm still really tired. I take a nap while the girls nap, because if I don't I'm a zombie for the rest of the night and don't feel well. I also don't feel well if I don't eat, so I'm trying to get better at that. Nausea is a lot better, though I've still had bouts of actual morning sickness and I have to take my zofran still, I feel better! I just wish I wasn't still getting up 3-4 times a night to go pee!
Food cravings - I've noticed that I really want a cherry Icee all the time. It has to be the Icee brand though, cause the cherry icee drink from the gas station isn't the same!
Size of baby - A peach! How sweet :)
