How far along? 32 weeks!!
Total Weight Gain: 35 ish lbs :)
Maternity Clothes? Most of the time I am in one of cade's shirts, and a pair of my maternity sweats. I hate jeans, and tight fitting shirts!
Stretch Marks? A few baby ones have finally made their appearance next to my belly button.
Sleep? Some days I really consider becoming nocturnal. I hate bedtime. I never have enough pillows... the snoogle body pillow and 3 extras just aren't cutting it anymore!
Best moment this week: Our growth scan today! details about that at the end :)
Miss anything? Being able to walk around.. anywhere. I am pretty restricted to my bed now days.
Movement: Yep! They are getting squished that's for sure.. so movements are pretty hard and sometimes a little painful especially up in my ribs.
Cravings? Plain cheeseburgers from mcdonalds. sooooooooo good for some reason. Which would normally gross me out... but hey. Don't judge.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Only when cade talks about gross things... like chewing on tin foil for example.
Labor signs? Still braxton hicks.. like crazy. That is the reason I am in my bed most of the days. Laying down and drinking water is the only thing that really helps them calm down.
Symptoms: Heartburn, contractions, peeing every 15 min, no sleep.
Wedding rings on or off? Off. Which I am really sad about. My fingers have just started to swell a little bit.. I am afraid of my rings getting stuck and not being able to come off.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy... in pain... happy... in pain... happy
Looking forward to: Each next appointment is always what I look forward to!!
As far as how I am doing: The contractions happen when I stand, walk, and even sit up straight. So I am usually in my bed trying to keep them from coming on. When I do so, I usually get 2-3 in an hour. (I am allowed up to 6 in one hr) When I told the Dr. last week of how I was in sacrament meeting and hit exactly 6, then went to sunday school and hit 6 again within the hours... she stopped me right there and said, "Well, that can't happen again. You need to take it easy for the next month at least to keep the babies in." So....... I pretty much don't go anywhere, or do anything. Cade is a sweetheart for sticking it out with me. I spend alot of time in our bed. I have a hard time waddling up to get food, and to the bathroom, and back down stairs again. But anything I need to do to keep these babies in and growing is what I will do!!!
And the update on the babies!!!! Today at our growth ultrasound, they are both measuring exactly as they should for 32 weeks. Baby boy is weighing in at 3.9 lbs, and baby girl at 3.75 lbs. Both are breech, and are facing eachother still. The chances of them flipping at this point are pretty low, so the Dr. pretty much told us to plan on a C-section.. which I am okay with. Another one of those, "do what you have to do to make sure the babies get here safe" things. On the ultrasound we did see some hair on their little noggins, so hopefully it stays that way!!! I know they are both going to be little blondies for sure. Our goal is to make it another month, and make it past 35 weeks... So keep us in your prayers that we can hold out that long, and longer! The babies will for sure be here by the week of May 18th, as they don't want us going past 38 weeks... it's so soon I can't even believe it!!!
I will try and get updates on here often, and keep you all updated on any changes that may happen... hopefully no news is good news!
