The final results of my 1st trimester nuchal scan came back normal - which means both kiddos have only a 1 in 10,000 chance of what they tested for. I like those odds!
Now that we are past the 12 week mark, I told three more people...
I sent an e-mail to my good friend's Mom (who took the pictures for our adoption book and said she couldn't wait to be a "surrogate" grandma). I told a woman at work who I know will keep the secret because I spoke to her extensively about the adoption process (she has a little girl from China), and I spoke to another good friend over the phone. Both the woman from my office and my friend I spoke to over the phone broke out in tears of happiness. It was so much fun!!!
Tonight I am going to try to reschedule a massage appointment and make it to book club. If I can adjust my schedule, I'll share my secret there too!
Believe it or not, my husband still hasn't told his family yet! I don't understand how he could keep it a secret from them, but I respect his decision. He says he'll tell them in June (but didn't tell me if that means early June or late June).
I haven't told any of my extended family, but it appears Mom took care of that already on her side. An extended family member called me today with other news, and he mentioned he talked to my Mom and wished me "Mazel Tov" on the twins. So much for me getting to have the fun of sharing the news...oh well.
Didn't think I did too much on Saturday - ran a couple errands in the morning, had lunch with my DH, got my nails done in the afternoon and attended a benefit dinner in the evening (but was home by 9:30). On Sunday, I could hardly get out of bed - so after going to brunch, I treated myself staying there with long naps, surfing the Internet and reading most of a good book (The Book Thief).
Last night I fell asleep on the couch at 8 pm and slept through most of the night. Today, I feel like I could nap all day again.
Question for all you women who are past the first trimester - when will I start feeling more like myself? I miss me...

So excited and happy for you - it must be such a joy starting to tell people!! I hope you get back a bit of your energy soon - your body is working hard preparing itself for those babes!!
Yay! Congratulations!
I think the fatigue started to lift right around the 12 week mark for me, maybe a few weeks after? I can't remember exactly since it was gradual. I stopped saying, "is it too early to go to bed?" at 6:30 and started being able to stay up until 8:30 before I'd get tired, but not like one day I was exhausted and the next I was feeling better, it was over a period of time I started noticing I wasn't as exhausted all the time, just more of a normal tired -- I never really experienced the "energy burst" that you hear about and I think it's too late for that now for me (27 weeks - time for the 3rd trimester exhaustion!).
Congrats on passing the 1st trimester screening!!!! So fun to start sharing your exciting news!!!!!!!
