Almost to 20 wks!!!

So I have been thinking that I shoould explain somethings I have been going through so some of you can get an understanding of why I have subjected myself to stay inside the house for days on in. I'm not trying to sound rude, I'm just explaining myself because I feel I am the one being rude.

So when I first moved back to M-town I was still in severe morning-sickness mode. Day night, night day, smells, the sight of food, the mentioning of food, the thought of getting into a car made me hurl. And on a good day I didn't need any of that to puke my guts up. Surprisingly I was on Zofran that entire time so if you have been on Zofran, you know I was miserable. It took every last bone in my body to make it to the grocery store, or I had promised to go to a party for the wedding party of my friend getting married so as much as I wanted to not make the 35 mile trip I sucked it up and made it there for the good part and left.

Since the week before Halloween I can tell that my pukyness has subsided alot. So I am more free to move around and know that I don't need to carry a huge amoount of cleanie-wipes, and wal mart bags! I still get nausea just thinking about riding to two near by towns which are both about 30 minutes away, but again if I don't get in the car every day, then I am more apt to make it to either town without mishap.

At some point though, I started having serious hip pain. I can wake up several times a night and my legs are so asleep that they actually hurt to touch, move, exc. I spoke with my doctor about it but all she could tell me was to sleep in a recliner (which we convinently put in the BACK of the POD when moving) and take tylenol. But I have news for those who have the same problem I have. Two things, Memory Foam bed topper and a heating blanket. I have looked on line at different women's ways for helping this but never did anyone mention a heating blanket!!! Use it people!! It works! Though I still wake up a lil stiff and sore, it is a BIG difference from last friday where I actually contemplated asking David to carry me to the bathroom because it hurt to much to even sit up.

I know it sounds aweful but everytime I turn around something new happens. So I keep myself near home, venturing out only when necessary or when I just can't stand it. So I am sorry if I offended anyone by not coming and hanging out or traveling down to austin like I had promised (because at the time I was actually believing the rule about the second trimester being the best lol) But things are starting to smooth out. So hopefully I will be able to travel a little more then I have limited myself to but until then home is where Cari will be most of the time...lol I love you guys!!

19wks Today!!!

Hey everyone! David and I went to the doctor this past Monday to finally see what our lil bubbles are! After what seemed like forever (they were running 30 minutes late and I was the first sono of the day!!!) we finally got taken back. The tech was super sweet!! Instead of doing that nice nice talk some of them do, she got straight to the point of finding out what they were!!

Drum Roll Please......

TWIN GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!! Callie Rene' and Katherine Elizabeth are their choosen names!!! It was sooo exiting to finally say instead of Twin A or B, its Callie or Katie!!! WOOT!!!

Then was the easy part, laying back and letting the tech take measurements of everything. Callie made this part especially difficult for Chrissy (tech). She had her back facing outwards and put her lil hands over her face as if to say no pictures thank you!!! But after a persistant 45 minutes Chrissy was able to get all of Callie's measurements and moved onto Katie!!

Katie was fantastic, she was spread eagle and Chrissy was able to get measurements in under 20 minutes. Which was great cause by time she was half way done with Callie my legs had fallen asleep and were starting to hurt.

They measured out fine! The look like lil alien children! and they are OURS!!! =] ahhhh!!! Girls!!! I cannot believe but then I totally can!!! Check out my facebook or myspace for the sono pictures!!! So cute!!!
