32 weeks and an eviction notice :)

so technically i will be 33 weeks tomorrow (friday 4.20.12) but i thought i would recap...i have to do at least ONE of these surveys before the twins arrive :)

  • How far along? 32 weeks 
    • Total weight gain:  30 pounds
    • Maternity clothes?  of course!
    • Stretch marks? not yet...i keep waiting!
    • Sleep:  i basically sleep for 1.5-2 hours at a time before i need to either go to the bathroom or switch positions...i sleep on the couch now :(
    • Best moment this week:  the twins getting their eviction notice :)
    • Miss Anything? a bottle (not just a glass) of wine, my normal clothes and just feeling like myself in general...i  am SO SO SO thankful to be pregnant but i am very ready to be done with this pregnancy and meet my sweet boys!
    • Movement: all the time!
    • Food cravings: cereal and sushi
    • Food aversions: hamburger or basically ANY type of meat (i CAN handle chicken)...and really anything gives me horrid acid reflux anymore so my breakfast, lunch and supper choices are very limited!
    • Gender: BOYS :)
    • Labor Signs: still getting regular contractions but nothing too intense...i have also been feeling a lot of pressure and have been having cramps this past week.  the doctors assured me this is normal and i was checked today and we're still good :)
    • Symptoms: acid reflux, back pain, pressure (down there) and just feeling really tired all the time.
    • Belly Button in or out? oh it's OUT
    • Wedding rings on or off? off :(
    • Looking forward to: may 15th and my mom coming this weekend!!!
    i will post a picture tomorrow when i do 33 weeks :)


    well we had our weekly NST this morning and then i saw my regular OBGYN this afternoon.  the twins looked great on the monitors and my OB did a little mini ultrasound this afternoon so she could check them out (usually only the specialist sees them on ultrasound so i think my OB felt left out..ha).  i am so used to seeing them on the BIG ultrasound screen and it was funny to try see them on her little push cart machine because ONE of their heads takes up the whole screen :) the BEST part of my appointment today was when she set the date (gave the twins their eviction notice) for my c-section :) MAY 15th it is!!!  that is...IF they stay in there until then!  i will be 36 weeks 3 days on May 15th and i am so happy to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!  25 days!

    the reason that they want them out by 36-37 weeks is because they are at more risk INSIDE than OUTSIDE.  they are mono-di identical and at risk for placenta deterioration and acute twin to twin transfusion.  and baby b is breech so that is why we are going ahead with the c-section.

    that is all the information i have for today...whew!  33 weeks tomorrow :) and my mom is coming for the weekend so clean and hang out with us!!  feeling very BLESSED today....
