Complete Slacker and I'm now 20 Weeks

I've gained total so far 14 lbs. That is more than I gained total in my first pregnancy with my son.

I am finally feeling better and since I'm feeling better I am sooo soo busy trying to catch up on all the things I couldn't do while I was sick. I haven't been keep track of anything I've been eating. I realized that I got out of the habit when I missed a couple days of logging and then it was out the window. I've been trying to be good but I haven't been really good. Although I'm feeling better, I am to the point where all the sudden I NEED to eat or I am going to start throwing up. Since I've been out and about catching up on so many things I find myself running to the nearest fast food place to buy just about anything to solve my problem.
When it comes to craving I'm not doing horrible. I don't have many cravings. This I want to eat all the time are as follows, these things I can always be in the mood to eat.

• Chili Cheese Dogs
• Belgium Waffles
• Any Asian Rice dish (meat, veggies, rice combos)

There are few other things I can stand to eat at any given time. These are all things I wanted to eat all the time while I was pregnant with my son. I don't even like hot dogs. I eat the Belgium Waffles the least of this list but when I do I always use the sugar free syrup (or least that is what I've asked for).

As far as how big my bump is. I didn't get "huge" with my son. In fact I often at the end had people ask when I was due and when I said "any day now" it was obvious they didn't think I looked that far along from their shock and surprise. This time carrying two I am officially larger then I was at delivery time with my son. This scares me on so many levels. All I see in my future is a lot of sleepless nights.

I desperately tried to think of what I could get in town that would be sufficient for me. I decided on a breakfast burrito from one of the small fast food Mexican places. I figured that all the eggs in the breakfast burrito would be enough for me. I ate an apple in the afternoon. For dinner we went to a Mexican restaurant near us. I had lots of chips, 3 slices of the cheese crisp, a toastada, and a cheese enchilada.  I don't know if it was the food, I ate too much, it just wasn't the right food for me, but I started to feel very nauseas and went to bed.

Twins?!?!?

So I've gained 2.5 lbs so far. I was feeling like that was a little too much so far. I had expressed that to my midwife. She said that she didn't think it was too much but that even if it was too much she tried to comfort me by telling me it will even itself out. When I went to the doctor last week she didn't act like she thought I had gained too much. But she did feel that I was measuring a little large, so she ordered an Ultra Sound. She said that there are three reasons I could be measuring large 1-I just measure large, 2- I'm further along than my dates say I am, or 3- Twins. I had figured it was just one- I measure large, especially after the disagreement I had with my doctor I was working with with baby #1 our son. He kept telling me I was 2 weeks ahead of my dates. I knew I was right and I was.
So the Ultra Sound reviled TWINS. I'm still in shock. This changes my perspective a little, how much weight gain, how many calories I need. Mostly I need to adjust my perspective of my weight gain.

Oh my goodness- TWINS
