The latest
Well. . . exhaustion and pretty icky morning sickness has kept me from doing much but sleeping, and lounging on the couch spending way too much time on Facebook and hulu.com and Netflix.
But the big news is that the extra tiredness and morning sickness is because I'm doing double duty. It's twins! I'm almost 10 weeks along. Got a second ultrasound yesterday, and they're beautiful and perfect, with strong little hearts. I've graduated from the fertility clinic and I'm on to a regular OB, who comes highly recommended by someone I trust very much (and a few others who followed her recommendation) and who I feel really good about. Even my fertility doctor expressed emphatic approval at my choice of doctor.
What I'm most excited about at the moment is that in 2 weeks I'll be done with shots. Nine shots a week have taken their toll on my poor hips, which are all bruised and sore and knotted. It's definitely worth it to keep my babies where they are and healthy. . . but I love transitioning into that period where it's a "normal" pregnancy without need of hormonal support.
So the big question is, who will they be? Two more girls? Two sons? One of each (they are definitely fraternal)?
Which brings me to an issue that I'm really glad we haven't had to explore too far before: circumcision. I'm doing lots of reading on the topic lately. All I will say at the moment is that I'd love to find some impartial, scientifically backed literature, for either the pro or con side, that doesn't involve people using words like "barbaric" and "mutilation" and "torture". Histrionics don't appeal to my sensibilities.
