Week 11 Update


Bump: Again, there is definitely a belly because it's getting firmer - will post a pic next week.
Cravings: Zoe's Chicken Kabobs.

[Jay] Like, now, or the world will end.
Symptoms: Crazy tired, all the time. It doesn't help that I overdid it a bit.

[Jay] A bit more than a bit.
Activities: This week I met our new doctor in maternal fetal medicine, Dr. Dacus. I liked him a lot and the resident who took my history made me think of and miss my brother (David in residency in Knoxville). He told me it was really important to listen to my body especially later in the pregnancy for any sign of preterm labor. He also put me back on Baby Aspirin (yay, another pill!) as it can prevent preeclampsia (something moms of multiples are at higher risk for).

Mid-week, I traveled to Columbia, SC for the state department's Research to Practice conference and lead two full-day workshops. This was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun because I got to visit with Kim (one of my aforementioned IVF coaches) and her husband Tim, as well as some of our other colleagues from around the state - Mitch and Kent. Kim and Tim brought lots of gifts for me and the babies :-) We ate very well, but ordering at a nice restaurant when you are both gluten/wheat free and limited in the kinds of cheeses and seafood you can eat is a pain.

[Jay] Kim and Tim's celebrity couple nickname would be Kim.


After returning to Greenville, we got a visit from Mom and Grandmother. The eating well continued, and we showed Grandmother the best of Greenville in the rain. They also brought more gifts for me - jewelry to mark becoming a triplet mom.

[Jay] I have yet to receive any gifts.
