Alana, Thanks for sharing your photo...you're big, I can't believe you didn't notice it. I'm about that big with twins. I'm glad you mentioned the change in time of day because in the morning I feel much smaller and have got that thought that something is wrong in the back of my mind. By evening it seems higher up, but really does seem to fluctuate. PS, your home looks divine!
I am excited to report I did buy some maternity clothes last Friday and can finally feel more comfortable at work. One thing I've been experiencing is fatigue and faintness, esp at work. I work part-time and it's flexible so was able to leave and go in an extra day but after 2 hours I feel so sluggish. Could also be the environment: it's a nursing home and temperature is 80 degrees on the floors and some rooms more. My boss came over to me the other day and I had to interrupt and ask if we could sit down to talk. Also, have felt sad/depressed at times, oddly enough, and not for any reason. I haven't cried yet though, or lashed out at my husband. I was hoping the second trimester would bring that famous energetic time of the pregnancy, because I sure have to get things done in preparation of the babies.
Next week gender scan!!
