The Kiblet(s) are hungry.....

The Kiblet(s)are hungry....all the time....and all they want are vegetables. Specifically, cucumbers, green peppers, and tomatos. I've been craving veggies -- which completely goes against my all-carbs-and-cheese-diet -- for about a week now, but last night on my 45-minute drive home from work I was so hungry and the craving for said veggies was so bad that I had to stop at the grocery store to get some. So that's what I had for dinner, and now I'm eating the rest for lunch. Come on summer, 'cause we're going to need to plant a garden if this keeps up. At least I'm craving healthy stuff. We'll see how long it lasts.

The Kiblet(s) do NOT want oranges, however. This I figured out this morning. I didn't throw up, but it was a close one.

I had more blood drawn this morning to make sure my HCG levels are doubling every 48 hours. My level on Monday was 503, and today it was 1,378 or something close to that. So I'd say things are going just peachy in there. I have an ultrasound scheduled for March 20th, and found a new OB doctor who I'm going to see on April 6th. I bought some maternity clothes online today -- I *heart* Old Navy -- so things are moving right along! This is all so exciting. And a little scary. But mostly exciting.

Yesterday or Monday (I can't remember) I posted on my Facebook status "Cort is PREGNANT. It only took four years!" To which my husband responded, "It didn't take four years, it only took two weeks. The last four years were how NOT to get pregnant."

He cracks me up.

With twins cooking I imagine your hormone levels are going to skyrocket. I hope your pending morning sickness isn't too rough.

Pretty soon your body's #1 craving will be SLEEP, and if it hasn't hit already, you should feel fatigued in another week or two.

Nap whenever you can. If oranges turn you off (not surprising with all that acid), strawberries are a good folate source as well, and thankfully they're in season in our southern states.

My first two kids, all I wanted were tomatoes in whatever form was available (juice, raw, pizza sauce, whatever). This baby had me goofy for tomatoes AND tacos. Tacos?

I'm hoping this means she'll be my Mexican food buddy, since The Oracle won't touch the stuff.
