Michael has returned from Toronto and he was quite astonished by how much my tummy has grown since he left. I am not quite accustomed to how large it is now. Lately my belly button has been in a few accidents involving corners and blunt objects. I believe it's because of my height and where everything corresponds to that. It's very sensitive. I'm hoping I have enough "padding" that it doesn't cause any brain damage to Henrik.
Speaking of names, rather than calling the twins Baby A (left) and Baby B (centre), we've decided to call them Daniel and Henrik according to their positions. They're only nicknames, so don't get too used to calling them that!! We're still deciding on actual names at the moment.
My nausea and vomiting seems to have tapered off some. The last episode was on Sunday, but I'm still continuing to take my Diclectin which actually does help with the hyperemesis gravidarum.
My mood has also changed somewhat lately due to all the hormone fluctuations. There are good days and bad days. An example, Michael found me in the bathroom not too long ago sobbing because I had ran out of shampoo.........
I took and failed my glucose screening test, so on Monday I had to have a glucose tolerance test. Those tests are not fun......trying to hold down the vomit, the cold sweating, and visual impairment. I'll know soon whether or not I have gestational diabetes. But here's my thought. The babies will probably come early and that usually translates to smaller babies. If I don't manage my diabetes then there is a chance the babies will be larger and have a lower chance of being in the NICU.......I'll have to bounce that off with my OB.
