Week 9 Twin Pregnancy Story: Naps Are the Best
Vacation naps are the best. Aren’t they the best? I’ve been taking full advantage, and rocking an afternoon nap at least five days a week over the break. If only I could brainstorm how to keep this going at work… Also, Christmas cookies are also the best. I indulge in both a ton in my week 9 twin pregnancy story.
Morning sickness has actually been quite manageable over this pregnancy, all things considered, and I’m wondering if it’s because I learned how to manage it better. The first time, I thought I could get away with not eating breakfast until I got to the office. The result of which, was pulling over at stoplights to open my door and dry heave from the car – not exactly the picture of elegance.
One morning over the holidays this year, I thought I could get away with taking my prenatal vitamin before eating breakfast, just once. I should have known better, as the net result was dry heaving in a kitchen full of family members at 10am. Thanks to grade ten drama class, I was able to act my way out of it, and hid the fact that I was essentially walking and vomiting simultaneously until I could get to a restroom. Lesson learned…listen to your mom, and always eat breakfast.
