Yes I realize it's out of focus...blame Jason, my camera's too fancy for him. Not much to update in baby land. I'm slowly getting bigger...none of my pants fit me. I had to take 6 pairs of pants to a tailor last week to get them to move the buttons so I can wear slacks at work. For my jeans, I just hook a pony tail holder around the button and loop it through the hole and back. It works! I also started my new job this week, which is such a change. I don't have to stand most of the day, and having a life outside of work is not only normal, but encouraged. I haven't told anyone yet about the babies, but I will have to soon. The belly is starting to peek through my loose fitting shirts.
Still waiting around biting my nails until Feb. 7th. That's when we find out the sex of the babies and also figure out if there are any major physical abnormalities (like if one of them has a third arm coming out of its head), but I'm concentrating more on the girls/boys/both part of it all.
I haven't felt any movement yet, which I really wish I could. It would put my mind at ease. I thought I felt something the other night, but it was probably the mexican food.
What I have been feeling is something called "Round Ligament Pain". It basically feels like a hernia. If you change positions too quick, or stand up too fast, you get this sharp stabbing (crippling) pain that shoots down the sides of your stomach. It's not very fun, but hey, a lot of stuff is growing and stretching out down there.
I need to start making lists of what equipment we're going to need when the babies get here, but I have no idea where to start. I don't want to be an eager beaver when it comes to all things baby.

Hey Congrats!!!! Twins?!?!?!? ( I didn't read twins but you said more than one...) That's awesome! I am 18 weeks tomorrow and just today I went out and bought be first pair of maternity pants. I've done the ponytail thing about as long as I can now. How are you feeling? I was sick as a dog during the first 3 months and am still tired now and then but overall am feeling a lot better. One book that you need to get is "Baby Bargains" by Denis and Alan Fields. It will tell you want to buy and it rates the best ones out there for you. I am so happy for you! Congrats on the new job too!
