Week 13 update

Howdy, sorry for the absence. I guess I just have not had a lot to say lately.

The twins still appear to be doing well. Today I start week 13, and am a week into my second trimester. We had an appointment last week with a perinatal specialist (as recommended by my OB for all twin pregnancies), and we saw the babies again on ultrasound. They had gotten bigger, and we heard their heart beats for the first time. That was awesome...whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. We also saw them moved around, open/close their mouths, etc.

I hired a maid who is starting on Monday. I just physically can't do it anymore. The silly part is that I need to clean this weekend to get ready for the maid's visit. I know that makes no sense!

A few weekends ago, I went to Houston to visit my mom. We had a good time shopping for maternity clothes and baby clothes. It was a bit sad to think that will be our last mother/daughter weekend for a very long time.

Mom will be in town for part of next week and the weekend. She will be in town for business, and then staying longer to attend my two doctor appointments with me on Friday and Monday. Hubby will be out-of-town at a conference, and she wants to see the twins for herself on the ultrasound. She is amazed at the technology.

Yesterday, I got a facial and then has a minor breakdown. I cried and vented on hubby about how lonely I have been lately. I am not working. I am bored. I feel like I have be abandoned by friends I have had since junior high. I was upset that I never get to spend much time with hubby. It seems like we just see each other at dinner, and then that's it. Hell, I know my life isn't horrible...it was just the hormones speaking. I feel better today.
