28 weeks!

28 weeks is another HUGE milestone when it comes to pregnancy. YAY!

I didnt update yesterday because i had my OB appt today and was going to be findong out alot of info.

First off:

Growth Scan... Sam is 2lbs 4oz (1090g) Lily is 2lbs 5oz (1140g). I might be off a bit on the grams but thats approximate. They are still measuring 4 days behind my due date but im not worried about it. I didnt ask about my cervix measurement but Pete said he thinks it was 3.1. The doc didnt say anything so im not too worried about it. Pete said all measurements were 28.1,28.4 but their legs are in the 26th week. Jack also measured like this so their femurs are what is making them measure behind.

C- section Date... July 29th at 3pm!

Glucose test... I failed. I knew i was going too. No surprise there. Ill get my glucometer and such this weekend and start the diet tomorrow.

The appt... My BP was great 118/60-something, urine was good, no change in weight. Im up 23 pounds if i go by what i was the day of egg retrieval. And im measuring 36 weeks.

I go back in 2 weeks. Im still feeling the same. My hips, tailbone and ligaments in my groin all really hurt by the end of the day. Bending over is a joke. I pee 50 times a day (no lie). But all par for the course and i wouldnt change it for the world.

Keep growing babies!!

27 wks/ 3rd trimester/ 70 days til Full Term!!

Crappy pic but you get the idea.

Im so THRILLED to FINALLY be in the 3rd trimester!! 70 days til im term which is super exciting. Every week that goes by i feel so blessed im still hanging in there. Im still feeling the same. These ligaments HATE me when im standing and thats making it difficult to do much for very long. My hips are starting to get really sore at night. When i wake up the hip im laying on is on fire. When i roll around in bed im now getting some severe Round Ligament Pain. My bladder is also cursing at me and i feel like im in the bathroom more then any other roomin the house.

I still havent heard when my section will be. I told her i preferred 7/29 so im hoping ill get that date but it could be 8/3 too. Either way its one of the 2. I go back next Thurs for a growth scan and an appt. So ill find out then. Im also doing my 3 hour test next Wed. (fun). So ill know for sure if i have GDM again next Thurs.

Awww, Man..

I had my 26 week appt yesterday. Everything looks good. My BP was 122/68 ( i rechecked it at CVS today and its 110/68 so that makes me feel better, since im usually 110/60's). I measured 32-33 weeks and im up 6 more pounds - total of 23 pounds so far. I am now going every 2 weeks!! When i go back in 2 weeks ill have another growth scan.

After my appt. i was sent over to the lab for the glucose test. I felt like CRAP after i drank the ubery sugary drink....the crappy feeling lasted all day. I felt super tired and just plain ol yucky. I got the phone call today that i failed ...UG! The cut off is 140 and i was a 166. I failed it with Jack too, i think i was 148 with him. I failed the 3 hour with Jack as well and HATED the GDM diet. I asked my OB before the test if i could just forgo the 3 hour if i failed since ill most likely fail it. When he called today he gave me the option to test my sugars for a week and see what happens. I think ill just do the 3 hour...as much as it sucks. So im guessing that will be sometime next week. Hopefully ill be able to eat slightly more carbs this time around since i have twins so it will be more tolerable. The only good point to the diet last time was i lost 8 pounds after i found out i had it and weighed less after i had Jack then when i got pregnant. But im not planning on that happening this time.

Oh, and i filled out the paperwork to book my c-section!! They said it will either be 7/29 (37.2) or 8/3 (38). It has to be 37+ weeks. Hopefully ill find out the exact date next week since i didnt hear from them today. Hoping i make it to the date- whatever it is, but ill be happy with anything over 36 weeks.

26 Weeks

These were taken on Mothers Day so im few days shy of 26 weeks, but close enough.

Things are going well. Im feeling good. I just get tired by the end of the day. By the time 5pm comes i am counting the minutes for Pete to come home so Jack isnt 100% my reposibility. My ligaments BURN when im too active or standing for too long. I seriously want to stick ice in my pants to ease the pain.

The babes move all around. Sam seriously jumps and kicks all the ime. I probably have 2-3 hours of silence from him. He has hiccups all the time too. My whole belly bounces and i can feel him richocet off my hip bones. His legs are right under my ribcage. havent had any ribs kicks...yet. Lily is still much more quiet but she has her moments where she stretches and tries to move her brother out of the way. She seems to have the attitude that she freaks when shes had enough. I wonder if their personalities will be similar once they are on the outside. If thats the case i think Sam is the one who is gonna give me a run for my money but Lily seems laid back like Jack.

Heartburn is getting worse. I think i took 6 tums the other day. My feet are starting to get swollen. Im still able to wear my wedding rings. My heartrate goes alittle haywire sometimes (around 120)...i gotta talk to the OB about that tomorrow.

Im hoping at my appt. tomorrow ill find out more about when the c-section will be. Im guessing in the 37th week because of my prior history of Vasa Previa and im on the blood thinners. We'll see.

25 weeks!

Im so excited to finally be "getting up there!". We've got about 3 more months left and i hope they go by quickly! I just want these babies out and healthy. I hate my pregnancy anxiety. I dont have one day that doesnt go by that i dont have the countdown in my head.

At the same time, im so sad my one on one time with Jack is becoming very limited. I know he's going to be so happy and such a good big bro but i still worry about his transition.

Im feeling pretty good. Just large and uncomfy. But im still functionable. Im getting the strange stares out in public and some say "you dropped" which scared the poop out of me but, i carried low with Jack so i think its just how i am pregnant. The babies are moving all over. I still feel Sam much more but when Lily kicks she gives me some pretty good jabs. I pee about 4 times a night and my ligaments in my groin BURN when i stand for too long. All worth it though :)

Last night Pete and I went to BRU and got some little things like bibs and breastpump assesories. It was a fun little "baby date" since my mom had Jack for the night.

Progress is being made in the garage and im hoping by Memorial Day we can move our bedroom downstairs and we can start on the nursery.
