33 weeks.
Size of babies: A pineapple. At our 32 week appointment one was 4 lb and the other was 4 lb 1oz. I know these aren’t exact but still, that’s definitely more baby than I ever had in me the first time……YIKES. (Collins was 6 lb. 12 oz.)
Size of mama: large and in charge. I mean, seriously. My dad will just look at me and start laughing…. He (nor I for that matter) can understand how in the world this belly can get ANY bigger.
How I feel: Blah. Pain. Blah. Pain. The days are still okay. Although getting up and down/walking around a bit cause pressure/pain…but night times are rough. Getting in and out of bed is painful and this week I have woken up to pee FIVE times a night several nights. HOLY. I never did this with Collins… maybe once a night at the end, but that was it. I’m starting to swell. Cankles come out at night. I’ve stopped wearing my rings. Rolling from side to side in bed is hard and painful. And I do it frequently to stay comfortable. I’m still sleeping…I just toss and turn a lot.
*My 32 week appointment: I went to the doctor on Friday the 6th for my 32 week checkup. Everything is going really well and the boys both look great, and for that I am very thankful. However, my doctor is still being incredibly optimistic and even had to move my scheduled c section BACK a day…to July 22. That is just TWO days shy of being 39 weeks pregnant, who in the HELL goes that long with twins? YIKES. I told my doctor that I like to be an overachiever, but NOT in this case. And yes, I know it’s best for them to be INSIDE of me….but lordy….let’s at least move it up to 37.5/38 weeks…a few days is a few days! He did at least acknowledge how much could change between now and then and that we would talk closer to time, as I politely told him I may be haunting him in his dreams if I go to July 22:-) I am measuring 38 weeks pregnant. Which is normal. But, explains why I look HUGE and feel OVER IT. Basically I’ll experience those “last few weeks” of pregnancy for like 6-8 weeks. OUCH. I know not everyone has pain with pregnancy, but I did with Collins too…back pain is awful, pressure is painful, everything hurts. On the bright side…I’m not on bed rest and the babes are doing well. I know, I need to be more positive ;-)
Regardless….less than SIX weeks to go till the boys get here. It seems like SO far away for many reasons, but if I truly stop to think about how much our life is about to change I get a little panicky. So…. let’s just no go there, mmmmmmkay? Good.
Happy Wednesday!
