Well, I've had a couple of appointments since my last post. I'm now measuring 37 weeks at 30 weeks gestation (I'm currently 31 weeks though) babies are growing well I've gained 33lbs in 31 weeks which for twins is great! We'll see though, now is when they gain a lot of weight so hopefully I can stay under the 45lbs mark. Hopefully I just have 6 weeks left, one minute I feel like thats really close and the next I feel like it's never going to get here, usually when I'm at work and exhausted. The legal work has been all drawn up and the lawyer has gone to court for me already. I'm not entirely sure what all she does but I know she makes sure no one thinks these babies are coming home with me, got to love her for that!!
My IF's are getting more and more excited I've been receiving emails with pictures of clothes they've bought for them and there's more talking about the babies coming. They've been down to see sonos twice now the last one they were both weighing about 2.5lbs that was 3 weeks ago. I have another sono next week to see how they're growing. I can tell them without a sono that they're growing very well!!
I will miss all these extra calories I get with carrying twins, but I am more than ready to have my body back and my energy level. I have absolutely no energy right now nor will I for probably the next 6 weeks (or more depending on when I deliver) Then it's time to hit the gym hard to get all this baby weight off and tone back up, so excited to be normal again, whatever that is?? I have a pretty good amount of swelling in my legs after working 12 hours I'm going to be optimistic about that and say that's just weight that will literally fall off after I deliver. Not hard to get rid of water weight, just a few trips to the bathroom for that!!!
I've been having a lot of braxton hicks which are really annoying but totally worth it if they're helping to get my cervix ready for these babies to come out, speaking of that they seem to both like to hang out with their heads on my right side when we sono, we did a quick sono at work the other day and A (the girl) was head down but that's the only time I've seen her like that, hopefully she remains there so I can have a vaginal delivery. I know I can deliver a breech baby that way but I'm pretty sure no one can deliver a transverse baby that way! I'd be really sad if I had to have a c-section on my last delivery, but it is what it is I suppose!! Till next time....
