15 Weeks and 2 Days

I used to post on the daily, then weekly, but now it's whenever I have enough energy!  Ha!  I had a couple relatives asking for updates and telling me this was how they kept up with the pregnancy so I figured I better check in and make it semi-interesting!

I'm currently listening to my mom teach piano lessons to two cute girls.  Yes, that means I'm back in California!  It's so nice being around my parents.  I just feel happy and comfortable around them.

I arrived yesterday morning and was feeling okay until about 3:00.  My mom got to experience my nausea to vomiting right before dinner at 5:00.  My poor dad walked in right at the end.  He had come home early to visit, but I was way too miserable.  That's one unappetizing way to get ready for dinner.  Whenever I throw-up it lasts forever and is so painful.  Food tastes pretty gross too, but I always try to eat something after though so the twins get nutrition.  

I ended up going to bed around 7:30 PM and woke up at 7:45 AM.  I was exhausted, but still woke up to pee 5x (literally).  My parents use night lights so I didn't need my phone light like I do at home.  Seth and I normally sleep in a very dark room and I use the flashlight on my phone so I don't trip.

I would love a reprieve from the vomiting and nausea.  It seems that won't be happening any time soon.  I'm just lucky I'm not working full-time too.  Just knowing how exhausted I am after unloading the dishwasher or going to the grocery store, thinking about being with little 3rd graders all day seems undoable.  I obviously miss being in the classroom and seeing the same kids every day, but preparing for the twins and making sure I stay healthy is the priority right now.

My current main complaints are vomiting, nausea, exhaustion, headaches, and low back pain (it goes into my upper thighs and makes it hard/hurt to walk).  The positive of all this is that I feel like the pregnancy is real and the babies are coming.  I actually shared a photo on Instagram of Seth and me as babies and it made me really excited to see what these little ones will look like! 

My mom and I are working on my baby shower invitations.  My sister and her mother-in-law are kind enough to host it in Utah!  I was actually stressed about my baby shower.  Being newer to an area (Houston) and having babies with no family around is not really ideal.  When my sister told me she wanted to host in Utah I was so relieved because now family and friends could attend and I get one now!  We've had a lot of love and support from people the past year and I'm happy we get to celebrate with everyone (if you would like an invite and didn't see my mom's email/post or my posts let me know so we can get you one).  It will be in November and Seth even gets to come!
