13 week update and new belly picture

This will be short since I don't have a whole lot to update. I've started feeling movement. I only feel it when I'm sitting and I'm sure I'm feeling it early because there are two babies kicking me. Baby A and Baby B had a fight this week and B moved to the far left side of my uterus while A moved to my right. They made up today though and are snuggling together right in the middle. I have a doppler that I use to listen to their heartbeats everyday so I'm able to know their location. My fetal doppler is the best purchase I have made. It helped me so much last pregnancy and this pregnancy it is really helping to be able to listen to them and know that they are still alive. I have an appointment with my high risk doctor on the 6th of May. I should know the genders at that appointment. If we are 90% sure of the gender I will do an online gender reveal party on here. :) 15 weeks is still pretty early to be sure though so I may have to wait until my 17 week ultrasound.

Walking has actually gotten difficult. My uterus is growing so fast that my poor muscles can't keep up. I have round ligament pain a LOT and there is so much pressure that I feel like I'm going to walk to much and the babies are going to just fall out. I bent over yesterday and pulled an abdominal muscle. That was fun. In order to roll over in bed I have to do it very slowly or I will pull a muscle. I will remind you all, I'm THIRTEEN WEEKS. Oh em gee this is going to be a long pregnancy. It's not that I'm getting super big, but I'm just growing fast and it hurts.

I have been cleared to go back to work a few days this week. As long as everything goes okay I will be back to my regular hours next week. Yay for having money again. :) If any work friends are reading this, thank you all for being understanding and covering for me. (and shout out to Erika, hope you get well soon).

Okay here ya go. I'm going to post my belly picture for today and my 19 week picture with Mason so you can see how different my belly is this time compared to last pregnancy. I really need Jared to start taking my belly pictures so I can get some good ones instead of all these pictures of me looking horrible in the mirror.
