25 weeks
Today is Tuesday and this week is already dragging. But there has been a lot of valuable time with friends lately so if it’s going to stay this way I don’t mind it dragging. I’m starting to think a lot about how my life will be next month when I’m no longer working and after the twins are born. I haven’t had that kind of down time since before 9th grade!
I’m thinking a lot about motherhood and trying to wrap my mind around what it means to me, what these babies mean to me, etc. For some reason I have the need to put words on many things lately that have always just been feelings. I feel very pregnant now as yoga has become difficult, walking is making me breathless, and this belly just keeps growing.
I’ve been going through my accessories lately to help dress up my maternity clothes. I’m wearing a lot more comfy stuff like tshirts so these scarves and shawls are the perfect way to dress me up for work or dinner. I started out the pregnancy wearing a Medium in maternity clothes, moved to Large and am now just a few weeks away from XLarge. I’m already accumulating a stack of things to put away for the next pregnancy. Oh yes, there will definitely be another. I love being pregnant! I need to invest in some maternity/nursing sleepwear but figure I’ll wait a few more weeks to get a better idea of just how big I’m going to get. I really want something nice to wear when I’m in the hospital. I’m not the kind of pregnant woman that will be applying makeup for visitors in the hospital but I would like to be wearing something pretty. I also need to invest in some good bras but again figure I’ll wait until after the boys are born and make that investment once the milk comes in and I have a better idea of just how big I’m going to get there as well.
I go see Laura again at the Perinatal Clinic for my Preterm Prevention Labor Program. Yesterday I found out that a woman I worked with in Dallas who was also carrying twins started having kidney or liver problems so they went in and got the babies at only 29 weeks. I’m keeping the family in my prayers, they will have a long next few months in the NICU. The March of Dimes has a whole new meaning to me now that I’m so intimately aware of babies coming early.
