Since when does the first trimester end after 14 weeks?

I'm so clueless. I thought 12 weeks was the end of the first trimester - read today it ends after week 14. I've thankfully only told a few people that I'm finished with my first trimester (as I thought I was) and so only they think I'm dumb. So I guess I'll finish my first trimester on Monday.

I've been feeling better the past few days. Still a little yucky here and there, but so much better than I had been feeling since forever. I was telling Eric's cousin Jessica how the prenatal vitamins make me feel even sicker and they leave this nasty taste in my mouth. She told me to ask my doctor if I can take Flinstone vitamins instead and he gave me the thumbs up! What a difference.

What I do feel often is...hunger. I can't wait to read this to the twins and let them know how hungry they make me!! They are already waking me up in the middle of the night b/c they're stealing all of my food. Luckily it's not every night, but often enough I wake up starving and can't fall back asleep until I get up and eat. I'm starting to worry that I'm going to have two 10 pound babies...one more worry.

Even if I'm not waking up hungry, I'm waking up. It's getting really annoying and hopefully soon I'll be back sleeping through the night. Eric is having trouble sleeping too. I don't feel like I'm waking up worrying about twins, but I'm sure it's subconsciously related.

I got to babysit Emily's new baby Lucas last night. Laurie came over for reinforcement for a while b/c I wasn't sure how it'd go by myself with the baby and Barkley. It was so fun having him but it makes me realize how much work it is going to be with two. I'm sure I held him more than I needed to (but I wanted to! and Emily said she didn't care) and I likely won't be able to do that with two. Barkley was really good but he's just so curious he wants to be right in the middle of everything until he sees what's going on and then he'll go lay down. I don't know how I'll take care of twins and keep him out of the way while I'm home by myself on maternity leave. I'll be ready to go back to work!

This has turned into a book but I want to write everything b/c my memory is so bad and I want to save these and read these through the years because I'm sure I'll forget so much of it if I don't have it written.

I'll post a new belly pic soon...the past week I have really grown - everywhere! But especially in my belly. Hopefully the everywhere growth slows down and the belly stays on track!
