15 weeks and finally starting to feel normal!

I am 15weeks 1 day today.Over the past couple of days I think am finally starting to feel more normal and I definitely have more energy. Not very much nausea anymore and eating isn't as difficult. I called my sister crying over the weekend. I was an emotional wreck and just worried I wasn't eating enough or the right foods. She's been through a twin pregnancy so understood where I was coming from and encouraged me that it's just for a few more months. I woke up the next day feeling much better and ready to conquer the challenge of feeding these babies what they need, even when I don't feel like eating what they need. Protein and fresh veggies are my biggest challenges right now. Getting 130-150 grams of protein each day is a challenge to say the least. I am SO thankful for Shaklee protein shakes which provide 24 grams of protein and lots of other great nutrition, so I am trying to do two of those each day.

I still don't have much of a baby bump. I guess even with twins since it's my first pregnancy and I'm tall, I am just not showing as much as some women would be. I am ready to start looking a little bit pregnant because it will feel more real that way, but it is nice to still be able to wear all my regular jeans for a week or two longer:-)

January 9th is when we will find out genders and I am anxiously counting down the days until then! It will be fun to know each baby by name and be able to pray specifically for each and just begin to plan more specifically for when they arrive. Thankfully I have lots of baby boy stuff from our previous 4 boy foster placements and from a sister who has 4 boys and lots of girl stuff from our girls. What do you think? Boy-boy, boy-girl, or girl-girl? We are really hoping for a boy to add to the mix but we know God is in control and we will love our kids no matter what!
