Half way thru....

A little update on my pregnancy. Yesterday, I reached my 21st week milestone of being pregnant. Apart from my belly growing beautifully (thanksfully, I have no sign of stretch mark yet), the chances of late miscarriage has gone with the wind. If the babies are going to be born anytime soon, the chances of them surviving are pretty high with good medical treatments and observations. But of course, no parents will want that to happen as the down side is that you will most likely get a sick baby with lots of medical problems. Every single day the babies remain in my womb, the better it is and I hope for healthy girls!
Yesterday was a tiring day for me as hubby and I hosted 2 friends from Durham. I wasn't feeling very well after the buffet lunch (I didn't eat that much though). Feeling very gassy and wanting to burp so badly to get rid of all the gasses trapped inside me. We had a long day at the outlet mall and apart from the terrible gassy feeling that I had, I was a little tired. Didn't feel like having dinner but again, I know I have to eat. When we arrived home, I was shocked to see my red swelling toes!. It can be quite painful but most of the time itchy. I guess, it is not just my belly is growing, but my feet is growing as well....must be the result of wearing my shoes for too long. My shoes seems tighter nowadays.

Pic was taken this morning (a day after). Wasn't that red anymore but still swollen and itchy. Hate it!




Below are pictures of me taken yesterday at week 21 to be exact...

Happy to be pregnant...doc said that my belly is much bigger compared to someone carrying one baby but still consider small for twin pregnancy.....she said not to worry because I'm tiny!!!
Another pic taken by hubby to show off his talent....
