- I am six weeks, four days pregnant. Every day feels like a small and special victory. It's hard to believe that my CVS will be in less than a month.
- I have daily bloody noses, but no spotting or bleeding, which is delightful.
- My father now calls me 2-3 times a week, instead of 2-3 times a month. Last night he said, "So you feel nauseous a few times a week?" Ah ha ha ha ha ha! No, Dad, every blessed moment of every blessed day.
- My mother saw a pretty appalling picture of me that was taken recently and told me that I'd never looked more beautiful.
- I always wanted to be so healthy about what I put in my body during pregnancy. Ah ha ha ha ha ha! Cherry Coke is one of the few reliable products that settles my stomach. Other surprising favorite foods: sorbet, grapefruit juice, scrambled eggs, chips and salsa, and sweet potatoes.
- The local market has been out of sourdough bread the last two times D has shopped there. I need my sourdough bread, dammit! I want buttered toast more than anything.
- Constant, non-stop illness has made me more bitchy and needy than I've ever been before. I'm not proud of this, and D has the patience of a saint. I haven't found a way to really explain to him what it's like to need to eat X food IMMEDIATELY, and that anything that interferes will prompt tears or a tantrum. It may be one of those things men just can't understand, and who can blame them? I don't know if I would have been able to understand before.
- My current odds: 25% chance both babies will be healthy; 50% chance that one will be healthy; 25% chance that neither will be healthy. I think it's entirely possible to fall in the first category, and that is what I'm hoping and praying for.
- Each day I wonder, "Is it today? Will their hearts start beating today?"
- Each day I remind myself that this miracle is not so great the higher power can't handle it.

Just wanted to say congrats on the success so far, and I think of you and the embryos often!

I also loved pineapple. Pineapple, tostitos, and grapefruit juice mixed with seltzer.
I think of you and your twin embryos every day!
