30 weeks
Wow, there is something very amazing about realizing we are 30 weeks along! That means that in about 6-8 weeks we’ll have two little boys to play with. I am so ready to meet them and get to know them. Not that I want them to come early, but I am excited [...]
9 weeks left, but who’s counting?
I’ve noticed that “the line” is starting to show, the linea nigra. This is the slightly darker colored line running down my belly. It’s still pretty light but I noticed it.
I’m having lots of aches and pains in my pelvic area and back. These must be those infamous “round ligament pains.” From [...]
29 weeks… are we there yet??
I don’t know if other people can see it as easily as I can but it’s become very obvious where the boys are by the strange mounds that form across or stretch my belly. They make me very lopsided so when I look down I’m like…oooh weird! They still maintain a little movement in the [...]
28 weeks
Yesterday Wendy joined me at the Perinatal clinic for an ultrasound. They boys are about 3 lbs each and doing really well, above the average weight for twins. Both boys are still breech so I’m preparing myself mentally for the c-section. While there is still time for them to move, things are getting [...]
All is well
Just got the call to let me know that I passed the 3 hour glucose test. Looks like I’ll be able to keep eating ice cream and magic shell, in moderation, of course ;)
3 hour glucose test
What a morning! I rolled out of bed with 30 minutes to shower and head out the door to the lab just a few minutes away. I hadn’t had anything to eat or drink since 10 PM except for some water during the night. The lab opened at 7 but only had [...]
Stretch Marks
I finally found some stretch marks. As I predicted they are on my sides and not on my actual belly. Just the smallest red lines. I already have some tiny ones on my sides from general getting older so I had a feeling that’s where they would appear during the pregnancy. Now I can blame [...]
One Hour Glucose Test - failed
Just got the call from my OB’s nurse that I did not pass the 1 hour glucose test. She said that my numbers were borderline (literally only a few points off) so I’m not worried about it. Cathy even suggested that it could be that I was slightly off on the timing. [...]
these days
Where to begin?
Currently up 28 pounds which is perfectly on for my 27th week. Logan and Forest’s movements are very distinct and very big. Logan especially (on the left)… we sit in the evenings and watch my belly roll around. It’s something straight out of a science fiction movie.
It’s been great not [...]
Two days and counting
A mutual decision was made that this Friday will be my last day in the office. Yes it would be nice to have that extra week of pay but I can make it ok without and it’s really for the best. So I only have two more days and I’m thrilled! [...]
