week 11 day 4
My computer died so I haven't been able to write much lately but life is good and I'm feeling good. I haven't been too sick and I'm starting to be able to make it through a whole day without crashing at 3 pm.
Tonight, my friend, Kristin and I are telling all of our friends about our new little additions to our families. I'm really excited. I also picked up the Christmas cards to tell all of the family about our little one and will hopefully get them sent off tomorrow so soon everyone will know. I'm really excited.
I've gained quite the pudge on my stomach. It's nice not feeling like I'm gaining weight anywhere but my stomach but at the same time, it's quite uncomfortable. Right after I eat, I feel like I gain about 20 pounds which is always quite uncomfortable.
But we're 1/4 of the way there! The little kid will be here soon and I'm so excited!

week 10 day 3
Today we went to the doctor's to hear the baby's heart. I've been nervous about it since yesterday - probably earlier if I had let myself but my body (and acne) can only take so much stress. After the usual long wait, we were finally able to see the doctor. His voice was gone which reminded me of some of my first encounters with Mike.
Unfortunately for me, every winter (except for this one) I get sick around September or October and I don't get better until around May. When I met Mike, I was sick and for the first time in many years, I had lost my voice. I've always wanted to lose it for several days but I had never had the chance until that year. By the time I met Mike, I was frustrated because it had been days and I couldn't talk louder than a strained whisper. Mike wasted no time to make fun of me and my voice. He was also the one to tell others in my presence that they didn't need to whisper just because I was.
Well today, I whispered back to my doctor and Mike reminded me that I didn't need to whisper. It was hard not to.
The doctor got out the little sound thing that they use and put it onto my belly. Immediately we heard the thud of the heart beat of the little one. He compared it to my heart beat and let us listen to the little one a little bit more.
And I walked out of the office completely surprised and astounded. Having not had a good experience the last time we were in, this definitely made up for it. I still just can't believe that I have a little one growing inside me. I think, especially since Mike and I didn't plan this, it's even more amazing to me. And since all of my symptoms have gone away except for fatigue, it was nice to know that the little one was doing just fine inside me ... especially after Mike and I were wrestling 2 nights ago, yes, actually wrestling, and I lost my balance and slammed onto the floor. We were worried that we may have just hurt it but now we know that our wrestling match probably just gave him a good jolt, just like the rest of my organs.

week 9 day 5
Today I found out my supervisor is pregnant as well but with twins! Yikes! I think anyone who has twins is truly amazing. I don't know if I could do it.
Yesterday was a very scary day. In the morning, I suddenly got really bad abdominal pains which made me just want to crash on the couch for a few hours. However, I was on campus with Mike and once I got home, I had a bunch of work stuff to do so I couldn't take a nap for very long. Just as I was falling asleep, despite all the pain, I received a phone call and had to take it. But miraculously, all the pain went away and it was no longer a scary day. I'm sure it was just my body working really hard ... thank you body for being able to do this for us!
I have been craving cheeseburgers like nothing since I've been pregnant which is weird because I don't like fast food. In fact, within a few months of dating Mike, I got him off of liking fast food as well. Now we almost always prefer a nice sit-down place that's more expensive over the clogged arteries that a juicy hamburger from McDonald's could cause.
But not anymore. I will take a little cheeseburger from Five Guys with a side of cajun fries any day! Mmmm ...
Speaking of fat, I've gained quite a few pounds in the past couple of months. Last night when I weighed myself, I weighed more than I ever have before which is okay with me because let's be honest, I love food and my body loves the nutrients. I'm just hoping all of this quick weight gain doesn't mean twins. Not that they wouldn't be wonderful but really? Little me with twins? I don't think so.
Oh, and since I haven't been great at writing since the vacation last week, I've been really cranky as anyone who's encountered me probably knows. The biggest problem is that I recognize that this isn't like me. And maybe it's not so much cranky as much as I tell people how I feel and I don't really care how it comes out. Ugh. It's awful.
Not only that but I cry a lot. I cry at the simplest things. But I'm grateful for that. It helps me remember that I do have a soft side.

week 9 day 2
I enjoy talking to my friend, Kristin. By now, most of you know that we have one very similar thing in common right now. It's nice to talk about ups and downs and figure out the future. I can tell Mike all the details I want about pregnancy but in the end, it's just not the same. His worries are school, his business, and work. Oh, and me and the baby. My worry is the baby ... and occasionally I actually remember some things I was supposed to do for work so I stress until I get them done.
I've been craving cheese again. Thank goodness. For a month or so there, I was really worried I would never like cheese again which would just be very non-kim like. I have always loved cheese and hopefully will always love it. Tonight we had pizza and I layered on the parmesan cheese ... and it was fantastic.
