Some women LOVE being pregnant. That was not my story. Join me as I candidly share the ups and downs of what I experienced on a daily basis while I awaited the arrival of my twin babies and how things are going now that they have entered the world.

Hobbit Feet and Sausages
We have had a wonderful week this week. Monday we found out that we're having a boy AND a girl! It's so exciting! I'm almost 21 weeks along and my body is getting heavier by the day. It's unreal that I can't just take this tummy off and put it on a shelf for a couple of hours. I'm finding myself to be more and more limited in physical activity. Yesterday I took a walk for ten minutes, sat down for an hour for lunch and then walked another ten back to work, and it totally took me out. My legs looked like sausages, my feet were of the Hobbit kind (wide and puffy) and I had a major headache. Who knew that something so simple would take me out for the rest of the day. Knowing my bodies signals for the most part at this point, I went home and zonked out for two and a half hours. Only to wake up with more of a headache, feeling less rested. So, lesson learned. No more 10 minute walks for me, till the babies come. By then it will be a privilege to exercise and not such a chore.
