15 weeks

I haven't been posting much lately because, well, even I can only whine so much about not feeling well before it gets old. I try to focus on the positive most of the time, but it gets hard sometimes. Not that I'm not thrilled to be pregnant, but just because feeling so poorly for so long really wears you down.

My current state is pretty bad. I'm still taking 2-3 anti-nausea meds per day (a mix of Zofran and Phenergan depending on the situation). I'm still getting frequent headaches. The pelvic pain is pretty bad, although it definitely eases up when I take it easier, so I've been trying to do that. My new thing is lower back pain that travels down my left leg. I wake up to pee 2-3 times per night and then am usually unable to sleep past 7, so I've been extra tired lately. I'm definitely ready and waiting for the second tri energy! Please!

But, it's not all bad. I can feel movement a few times a day most days, which is awesome. I also finally found both babies on the doppler a few days ago. It was so nice to hear their little heartbeats for the first time! It was also comforting to be able to hear that in between u/s. Sometimes, I feel sick more than pregnant so it's nice to have a reminder that there really are two babies in there!

I ordered the cribs and crib mattresses last week on Amazon and, since they were prime-eligible, they came two days later! They are in the nursery right now waiting to be assembled. Robert says that he will put them together tonight, and I can't wait. I know it's super early, but I want to be able to visualize things. After an ethical battle with myself over whether to sell my soul for two cheap, cute cribs from Wal-Mart, I was extra happy to find these cribs! They were a little more expensive, but still very reasonable, and I was able to keep my soul! I want to go much more modern with this room, and I soon found that modern cribs are not cheap. Add in looking for hardwoods, sustainable manufacturing, and non-toxic finishes and I was VERY lucky to find these for well under $500 each. I sucked it up on the crib mattresses and bought two organic mattresses, but I did go with one of the lower end models. It had good reviews, though, which is one of my big requirements. Anyway, I can't wait to get these set up! And, I'm especially hopeful that we'll find out the sexes on Wednesday so that we can buy the bedding and start decorating in earnest!

These are the cribs we got... Babyletto Modo in white/espresso!



Since this will probably be my last post prior to my u/s on Wednesday, I'll go on record with my official guess. Except my guess is sort of a mess. I have been leaning toward one of each for awhile now, but lately I can't shake the idea that maybe it's two girls. We'll find out soon enough!

Lastly, here I was at 14w5d!
