I think choir needs to be on the back burner for a while, you'll be back with a vengance soon. And hard as it is, I think you should try not to second guess the twin situation yet, you'll have much more info in a few weeks. <br /><br />And how can you be surprised your DH is not reading books about twin pgs?? Our boyz are just not wired that way! Maybe if you asked him to plan a special evening (including telling him where to order the food and what movie or activity you want!) I can totally relate - Mr Momma once again FORGOT we were cycling and I had a very PAINFUL scan today...grrr!musicmakermommahttp://musicmakermomma.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223280819287055879.post-17515843780509850292010-01-20T22:49:08.704-05:002010-01-20T22:49:08.704-05:00Just like cycling is a rollercoaster, the first tr...Just like cycling is a rollercoaster, the first trimester is a rollercoaster too. It's on the other side of the park, and the swoops and turns are different, but it takes its toll in its own way. ...That was my rather metaphorical way of saying that the hormones raging inside you and the feelings, tiredness, anxiety and everything else (except that attributable to your back issues) are all normal experiences for a woman in her first trimester. Welcome to pregnancy!<br /><br />The good news is that it will get better. Really. I'm glad you have the kind of job where you can simply announce that you are leaving for the day and will work from home. Take advantage of it as often as possible.<br /><br />I do not know whether losing a twin naturally affects the remaining sibling. I've not heard anyone mention that before, and a few bloggers out there have been through the "lost twin" experience. So I'm hopeful it will be okay for you too. Give the husband some time. Eventually he'll want to know more, I believe.<br /><br />Now rest, listen to your body, and obey!Best When Used Byhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252417951291793892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223280819287055879.post-53352577363556726782010-01-20T22:17:01.978-05:002010-01-20T22:17:01.978-05:00Dear lord, we really are experiencing the exact sa...Dear lord, we really are experiencing the exact same pregnancy situation. I'm officially praying for the 'let nature take its course' route of action for myself, I'll add another prayer for you. Let me know what you find out, regarding danger to twin A.

I hear you on the exhaustion - I'm almost at week 12 and I'm still pretty tired and nauseous. Lately it's been a bit better, but I can't wait for week 14 when I can stay awake for more than a few hours at a time. Sending you lots of love.Kara's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318794767415969151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223280819287055879.post-8173660686316978212010-01-20T15:27:24.601-05:002010-01-20T15:27:24.601-05:00If Baby B is not progressing at same rate and Baby...If Baby B is not progressing at same rate and Baby B decides not to stay then I definitely cannot fathom how that could be as stressful as having to make a definitive decision and take an active role in his/her departure. <br /><br />In either case, continuing to wish you the best in a tough situation.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288560043939554132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223280819287055879.post-33424448973022335512010-01-20T14:19:51.748-05:002010-01-20T14:19:51.748-05:00Oh man EB, the hormones would hit me pretty hard i...Oh man EB, the hormones would hit me pretty hard in weeks 6-8 and I would just fall asleep like an old man on the couch. It's totally normal, it's not the meds, it is the fact that you have two little buggers making lots of hormones. Just roll with it. Take a nap when you can. Go to sleep early. I would sometimes sleep for 10 hours at night, have a 2 hour nap during the day and still want to go to bed at 9pm. I typically went to sleep at 1am or 2am. It was wacky but after about week 12 or 13 it all slipped more into a normal mode. As for the little one who is measuring behind, I would wait it out for a while. Don't get tempted into coffee, try some hot water with lemon and honey. I know it doesn't have caffeine, but sometimes just the hot beverage at the right time of day fools your mind into thinking it is the same.IF Optimist, then...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11634482448223302535noreply@blogger.com
