I was very sick in the first trimester and pretty much didn't do anything productive. That is kind of why I haven't posted much, I just didn't have much to post nor did I have any energy to post. Matt was amazing and took care of the house and Carter and so much other stuff that I owe him big time.
Now that I am finally feeling better I am ready to show some pics and give some updates. I am now 18 weeks and two days. As far as weight gain goes well I am actually negative two (once again I was very sick until a week or so ago) but the babies are both doing great and measuring normal. I am feeling much better these days which is nice. I have more energy and am not getting sick nearly as often. I still have some bad days but I figure I'll be that way throughout my entire pregnancy.
I haven't had any weird cravings although I am drinking iced tea more often than I did before. I am having some bouts of pregnancy brain and in the words of my husband "are those babies kicking you in the brain?" (haha). A perfect example is the other day I wanted to put some music on while we ate dinner and I put it on the channel titled 'Romantic". It took me halfway through dinner to realize it was in Spanish....nice! My husband of course said nothing and just waited for me to realize...thanks dear. I am well into maternity clothes and I have felt the babies move a few times. Nothing major yet but those will come closer to 20 weeks.
As far as getting things ready we have bought two car seats, another swing, and a few clothes. I am pretty sure I know the bedding I want but we haven't made any purchases yet. We will probably start looking at those items in the next several weeks. I have had some wonderful people who have offered to throw me a shower so I am hoping we'll get some of that stuff at those.
We did make a HUGE purchase this past weekend. A minivan! I can't believe I am now an official minivan mom but it was a necessity with three car seats and honestly I really like it so far.
Below is a picture of me at 18 weeks. I feel like I look pretty big in this picture but I am right on schedule and the babies are both doing great. All the blood work, tests and measurements so far have been normal which is very great to hear. Being that I am having twins I have to go to the doctor every 4 weeks so my next appointment is in two weeks. I will share more updates and pictures as the come.

You look beautiful! Congrats! Twin girls sounds like so much fun (a crazy ride, but still fun).
You look great! Glad that everything is going well. Glad you are feeling better! I was sickly with my last pregnancy and it's miserable!
