Double Digits!

How far along:  10 weeks 

Babies are the size of:  Prunes.  Their body length will almost double in the next three weeks - crazy!
What's happening: Baby has working arm joints, cartilage and bones are forming.  The vital organs are fully developed and they're starting to function.  Fingernails and hair are starting to appear, too.  Plus, they're swallowing and kicking in there already.  If you could, you'd be able to see the clear outline of the spine. Spinal nerves stretch out from the spinal cord. 

Weight change: +2lbs already...
Maternity Clothes Nope, just whatever is comfortable, as in my sweats, all the time.
Stretch Marks: Nope
Sleep:  Exhausted and not sleeping well many nights.
Symptoms: More of the same - exhausted, bloated, sore boobs (especially getting up from lying down), easily short of breath, some bouts of nausea but (knock on wood) it hasn't been too bad. And irritable, really irritable.
Best Moment of the Week:  It hasn't been a great week....having KD for dinner last night??
Miss Anything: Uninterrupted sleep and after a stressful freaking week, I want a wine spritzer, or three.
Cravings/Aversions:  The aforementioned KD and candy, like 5 cent candy from 7-11.
Showing Yet: The bloat is real, but it is getting harder to suck it in.  I mostly just look pudgy, flowy tops are my friend.
Mood: Seriously stressed the fuck out.  I was already stressing about finances with having no mat leave compensation and two babies coming, but this week my work situation is basically imploding and I am honestly not sure if I will have a job to come back to.  I am terrified about the prospect of being a new mom of twins, exhausted and dealing with all of that while putting together a resume and job hunting.  

On a separate but also stressful note, Abby is neurotic and crazy and not at all in a funny, haha, way.  Ever since the May long weekend's fireworks, she has been progressively getting more and more nuts.  We are at the point right now where she's nervous and skiddish with any kind of loud, especially high pitched noises and especially if she's outside.  She refuses to go on walks, from our house.  It has only got this bad in the last week, we used to walk every day at lunch around the complex and now she just won't have any of it.  She sits down, refuses to move forward and starts pulling like mad to go back home.  We are taking her on Monday to the trainer we did puppy classes with and hopefully we can start to make some progress, or figure out how to, because this is getting crazy and really frustrating.

Part three - told you it's been a week.  I have had a few family members really pressuring me to share our news with an aunt here and an uncle there.  I don't understand why they don't seem to be hearing me when I say I'm not ready yet.  They all knew much sooner than they normally would because of our extenuating (read: IVF) circumstances.  I will tell them when they can share the news, until then, please stop trying to convince me to tell more people when I'm not ready.
What I am Looking Forward to:  Any little bit of this stress not feeling so overwhelming.  

10 Weeks!
