Gaining Weight

Never in a million years did I ever think that I would have to worry about not being able to gain weight. I mean that's every woman's dream right? Eat whatever you want and not gain an ounce. Normally I'd be over the moon excited about this recent development except I'm trying to grow a couple of babies. So far I have lost about 8lbs since finding out that I'm pregnant. I'm nearly out of my first trimester now and was hoping that by now I'd be seeing some weight gain. Again an other sentence I never thought I'd hear coming out of my mouth.
I will attribute this weight loss to morning sickness 100% I've been pretty sick the whole time we have known about this pregnancy. Which I guess is supposed to be normal and blah blah blah with twins. I did end up having to talk to Dr S about how bad it had become, which is when he put me on Zofran. I'm not a fan of being medicated and try to avoid it at all costs. So the Zofran is only taken when I'm having a really rough day.Beyond that I'm just trying to tough out the morning sickness like anyone else would. So I do blame my weight loss on the morning sickness and hope that it will start to subside soon.
Here is what makes me feel a little better about the weight loss in my first trimester. In all I'm supposed to put on close to 45 lbs with twins! Losing 8 lbs helps me feel just a little better about my final goal weight. This is such new territory to me. I've always been concerned about the opposite. I keep putting on weight I can't take it off, I want to lose 40lbs. And now its completely reversed and I'm having to worry about weight gain. Funny how that happens!

PS Once I have my next appointment and officially make it to Trimester Two then I think I might start doing weekly updates. What do ya'll think? Good or bad plan?

Update

We went in on Wednesday to confirm that both of our babies were viable. I stressed for an entire week about it. This is news that I know some people don't ever want to hear, but for us the thought of having twins was such a blessing. It been four years of trying and losing a baby and not knowing if we were ever going to get pregnant again. So I stressed that we weren't going to see the second baby when we went in for this ultrasound.
The doctor looked at the screen and first thing he said was well there are two healthy babies in there I see both heartbeats. He went on to measure them and make sure they looked like normal little "blobs" my mom gets mad at me for calling them that but for now that's really what they look like two little blobs on the screen. Dr H then started to look much closer at the screen we were both worried that something might be wrong. After what felt like forever he said " The reason I'm looking so closely at this ultrasound is because I see a third sac." Insert heart dropping followed by quickened breathing, Shawn didn't even say a word but later told me he just about passed out when he said three. All I could mutter was "oh gosh." The med student that was with him confirmed that she too saw the third sac. In the next breath Dr H calmed our nerves and told us that he still considers this a twin pregnancy because the third sac is empty. He said he is confident it will only be two babies and not three since by this time we should have seen something in the third sac for it to be considered a third baby. HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF!
 I know I said twins are a blessing and something we welcome with open arms but we never even thought of the idea of having a third and it freaked us out! Two is going to be a ton of work and neither one of us is delusional about it. But I know I'll be able to adjust and take care of both of our babies and be just fine. I don't know if I can say the same for three, that may require help. Coincidentally I just found out that a lady at church is indeed having triplets sometime this summer. We're going to be growing by lots of little feet in a short time period.
We are extremely excited that we have been blessed with these babies and can not wait to meet them. I am somewhere between 7.5 and 8.5 weeks and will go in next Wednesday to my OB (way cool I got to graduate from my specialist, but sad to leave him at the same time) he'll date the pregnancy and we'll have a more solid due date. Either way look out for the Marra Twins to be making their grand arrival sometime between Aug and September of this year!
