A bittersweet day

Two posts in two days. Wow. I'm doing well.

Today is my birthday. I am happy that for this birthday I have got the most special gift of all. My beautiful baby who is kicking around as I write.

Unfortunately, my birthday also marks the expected due date for my twins. They would be turning 1.

Today, I am filled with all sorts of emotions. One minute I'm happy, the next minute I'm crying. I suppose it doesn't help that my husband more or less forgot it was my birthday.

Time for a picture

I am now almost 22 weeks pregnant.

The baby has been moving quite a bit and even my husband has felt a kick. I am completely in love.

Here is a pic from when I was 14 weeks.

My husband and I have started looking at and ordering a cot, pram, bassinet, etc. It still feels very surreal and although I am excited, I still get worried.

My OB is treating me high risk. She has called this pregnancy 'extra precious' and will be keeping a closer eye on me.

I have been so vague the last few months. I am so forgetful, have lost interest in house work. Even reading and TV shows don't seem as exciting. Life has been a blur.

Where does the time go?

Sorry about the big gap between posts lately! I feel like life has been busy!

Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has commented on my posts. You have all had such kind and wonderful things to say. It really means a lot to me.

Today, I had my morphology scan. It was incredible seeing the baby again. He/she is SO much bigger! He/she was kicking around, then crouching into a ball, then doing flips! He/she has been moving so much too. It's amazing feeling all of the kicks. How can I be so utterly in love with a little human I have never met?

My husband came to the scan. It was very special for us!

I'm starting to get a big belly now (I will post a picture soon)! I can't believe I'm pretty much half way through my pregnancy!

I'm still worried about things going wrong, but it is wonderful hearing good news today.

Thanks again, everyone, for supporting me through this journey so far. Let me tell you, I've needed it!
