Sorry I have been MIA lately. Pregnancy was just getting the better of me. I am very happy to say though that, what a difference a few weeks make!!!

Once I hit 12 weeks last Sunday it was like the clouds parted and the sky opened up and all was right with the world! Ok, so not  quite that dramatic, but you get the idea. I am feeling soooooo much better. I actually feel somewhat normal again. YIPPEE!!! You don't know how good it feels to finally be myself again.

I'm still pretty tired and by 7pm I'm usually getting a shower and starting to get ready for bed. But, I have energy again, which is wonderful. I have been cooking meals this week and I even baked homemade bread this week!

I had my doctor appointment this week and I think I've decided to switch doctors. Or at least get a second opinion.  It's a hard decision because going to someone here in town is so much easier than having to drive a hour, but I don't fully trust my doctor and I don't think that makes for a very good relationship, especially when one is having twins.

I had some issues with her when I was pregnant with Lucy, but that was when I was only having one baby. It didn't seem like a huge deal at the time and honestly when it was my  first baby and I'd never been though it all before, I didn't question a lot of things. This time, though, I'm feeling very different about the whole situation.

What I really am hoping for is a consult with an MFM. An MFM is a Maternal-Fetal-Specialist. They are OB's who have an extra 4 years of schooling in high-risk obstetrics and mulitple births.  I would like to hear what they have to say in comparison to my OB. I suppose, if they don't tell me anything differently, then I would not really have to switch doctors...

It just frustrates me that I have to be so stubborn about somethings and insist on certain levels of care.
