12 Weeks

I am doing this entry more than a week late. My apologies. Basically, on Thursday of this week I began vomiting and was not able to stop.  At about 5:30a.m., Jeff finally took me in to Labor and Delivery to get checked out.  They hooked me up to an I.V., pumped me full of fluids and anti-nausea medication and then determined that I most likely had a virus, although they doubted it was the flu.  My mom was in town, so she was able to spend most of the morning with me while Jeff went to work.  There's just something comforting about having Mom with me.  We went home a little after noon.  I found that I had I fever of 101 degrees when I got home, so we then moved into "operation: decrease fever".  

Long story short, it was a long recovery.  I am just now starting to feel more like myself...over a week later.  I had already filled out my data sheet, so I am including that.  This picture, however, was taken today.  I know, I am cheating.  We got another ultrasound the day after I was in the hospital, and I really wanted to do a photo with the two babies.  I finally got around to it this morning.
