We are getting the works today. Got an ultrasound this afternoon and Baby A is measuring at 5 lbs 7 oz and Baby B at 6 lbs even! Both are head down and face down, ready to go. Doctor estimates that I am 1/2 a cm dilated, could stay that way for weeks but I guess things are progressing.
The congestion and snoring has gotten worse so my biggest complaint is I'm having trouble getting a good nights sleep, luckily a mid day nap generally helps.
I'm getting huge, I'm slightly embarrassed to say I've gained 66 lbs, desperately hoping these boys are good eaters and suck it all out of me! I can't say that I'm surprised though, I've pretty much been eating whatever I want (McDs, pumpkin spice Krispy Kremes, red velvet ice cream) alongside the healthy stuff of course.
Currently getting a Non Stress Test to make sure the babies are as happy as they seem in the ultrasound. Not the prettiest picture but it's the latest. Just got done with the test and boys are great.
Got most of the house unpacked, still some stuff left in the nursery but got the hubby locked in for help tonight to hopefully get that all done.
Can't believe all the stuff I'm seeing on TV and from my family about Irene, hope everyone is staying safe!
Hoping to go to the beach this weekend (less than 3 hours away from our hospital) to enjoy some R&R before these boys come. Interviewing a few folks this week to come in one or two nights a week to watch the boys and let me get some sleep.

ReplyDeleteTerrifyingly excited, ok to keep them in there and get a bit fatter, I have a feeling they are going to be more demanding outside the womb then inside :-)
