I am almost 31 weeks. Up until now it has moved very slowly but now it doesn't seem so far away. I am really starting to get nervous about all of it but I have faith it will work out fine.
As for how I feel I guess OK is the best I can say. I am tired and pretty uncomfortable. I am starting to swell and of course this 100+ degree heat makes is worse. By the end of the day everything hurts and all I want to do is lay down. I am still working and have plans to work up until a few days before they are born but we'll see how it goes.
The babies are still doing great and everything is normal and on track. I go to the doctor weekly now so it's nice to be able to hear their heartbeats on a regular basis and know they are doing ok.
I have only gained 9 lbs which I know sounds crazy but the doctor isn't that worried. I did this with Carter also. I only gained a total of 21 lbs with him and he weighed a healthy 9 lbs 12 oz so I am not too concerned. I am doing my best to gain weight by eating high calorie foods and I drink Ensures to help supplement. I guess with all the physical challenges that comes with pregnancy it's kind of nice that I don't have a weight issue as long as the babies are healthy.
The nursery is coming along. We have one crib up and the dresser/changing table. We have to get another mattress before we put the other crib up. We still need curtains and a rug and then just putting up the wall decor and we should be good. I have really got to get started on washing stuff to get their drawers filled up. I am hoping to have it all ready to go by mid-August.
My due date is 9/2 so I am hoping to make it all the way as I really want the girls to have a different birthday month than Carter as well as cook as long as possible. I pray every day they make it past the 36 week mark for sure so we don't have to go to the NICU.
In other news:
- I have a shower on the 24th so I will post pictures of that. Looking forward to it.
- Our dryer broke so we had to buy a new one yesterday. It was almost 10 yrs old so it was time for a new one but it's still nothing I enjoy spending money on. But with the amount of laundry we have coming our way it was a necessity.
- Carter's birthday is in about three weeks and I can't believe my baby boy will be 3. He is getting so big. We are having a fairly simple party this year because I can't do much but I think he will have fun. I'll post pictures shortly after.
Guess that's it for now. This post is a bit of rambling but just some thoughts I wanted to document.
