This week has been stressful because my 14 year old daughter got her learners permit and won't let me go anywhere without her driving us there...wow so scary teaching someone to drive. I told her she was going to put me into preterm labor from anxiety! She's actually not a bad driver, it's just scary.
Other than that it is so hot right now! I wake up and am fine, but as soon as I go outside it's like the heat sucks all the energy right out of me and I just want to take a nap! The pool is a nice hangout though. It holds up the weight of my belly and cools me off at the same time. But I have to talk myself into going because its so hot I don't even want to go outside! Once I get there though it's all good.
I still generally feel pretty good though. I still physically don't feel any different than I did with my singleton pregnancies, actually I'd say I feel better. Again I'm gonna attribute that to the weight loss prior to pregnancy and the eating healthier and staying active. I remember when I was pregnant with my son just laying on the couch from exhaustion. Not for an hour or 2, but all day long! No wonder I gained so much weight with him. The only other difference would be the movement. I feel a lot of movement and it's pretty forceful. I think maybe because there's less room than with a singleton?
The "contractions" continue irregularly and not too painful. Last but not least, Shaving! Forget shaving! If you've ever been pregnant you know what I mean. I'd say around 26 weeks shaving became virtually impossible, but now shaving is totally impossible! I still manage, but I'm thinking waxing is the answer. Never done it before, but I think at this point it's worth a shot! Too bad it's not winter ;)
Still having dreams about labor and delivery too. I've never had an epidural with any of my deliveries, but I think my subconscious is taking over and since I've never delivered twins before it's worried that it'll hurt more than the normal? Who knows? My husband has very little faith in me he says I'm gonna get it this time. I'll give him a little credit I was pretty close last time, labor hurts! And when it's not your baby why suffer? But I sure do love being able to get up and walk and use the bathroom on my own right away. Also the IV comes out faster and I can get out of the hospital sooner. So many advantages to not having it, and if the painful part goes quickly, why not try? I guess here in about 8 weeks we will see what happens!!!
