32 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

It’s time for another update!  This week, I finished gathering all of the things for our hospital bags.  Now, I just need to get it packed & put in the car!  I also ordered the boys’ coming home outfits…I can’t wait until they get here!

Since last week, my swelling has continued.  When we went to the hospital, the doctor didn’t seem concerned about preeclampsia because all of my tests turned out normal.  It is something that I’m definitely going to address with my OB at our appointment tomorrow, though.

This week especially, I’ve been noticing how big I’m getting (not just in the belly, but everywhere) which has been very difficult for me.  I know that it’s for good reason & I would gain any amount of weight for these babies, but that doesn’t make looking in the mirror (or at pictures!) any easier.  Look how cute Miesha is though 😊 I think she will be a great big sister!

How far along: 32 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: I haven’t weighed myself this week…I’ll wait for my doctors appointment to see the damage 😂

Maternity clothes: No new maternity clothes lately.  I did, however, get some comfy sweatpants, sweatshirt & granny panties to pack in my hospital bag for after delivery.

Stretch marks: Nope!

Sleep: Same ol’ same ol’

Best moment this week: My mom & dad coming over & visiting/helping with a nursery project.  Also, Sean surprised me last night with a new computer 😭 love him so much.

Worst moment this week: Continued swelling, making it hard to walk.  My feet are so big that I had to go out & buy some new, stretchy shoes (with no laces 🤣) in a bigger size than normal.

Movement: Little cuties love to roll around

Cravings: Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate

Queasy or sick: No sickness! I finally feel like I’m getting over my cold after what seems like forever.

Labor signs: Nada

Belly button in or out: Out

Wedding rings on or off: Still rockin’ my silicone ring

Happy or moody: …moody

Looking forward to: Our 33 week appointment tomorrow

31 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

We are getting so close!  I’ve had a lot of swelling this week, which led to a trip to labor & delivery. Don’t worry, everything is good & babies look great! Just when I feel like my body can’t possibly get any bigger...it surprises me!

I know I have said this before, but it really is getting hard to do anything.   Getting out of bed, bending down, getting dressed, going to the bathroom...😳 the list goes on & on.   

I haven’t done much this week due to the fact that I’m still recovering from a cold plus my swelling has been increasing & I’m trying to stay off of my feet.  But, I have managed to get some housework done (slowly) & started packing our hospital bags. 

How far along: 31 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: Holy swelling! The scale is not my friend.

Maternity clothes: I’ve been living in this cute maternity/nursing robe until I pack it away in my hospital bag.

Stretch marks: Still none

Sleep: 🤬😤😖 you can tell how exhausted I am in those pictures!

Best moment this week: Watching Hocus Pocus with Sean…hey it’s the little things. And listening to their heartbeats.

Worst moment this week: Nothing specific...just things in general making me uncomfortable including: rib pain, round ligament pain, pain in my knees from swelling...the list goes on. This week has definitely been the toughest as far as being uncomfortable.

Movement: Still feel them rolling away in there! Early in the week, we borrowed two dopplers & were able to listen to their heartbeats at the same time 💙💙 they were both in sync! Then, when we went to L&D yesterday we got to hear them again!

Cravings: No cravings

Queasy or sick: No nausea, thank goodness. Just acid reflux/heartburn.

Labor signs: I don’t think so?

Belly button in or out: Definitely out

Wedding rings on or off: Off. I tried to put my wedding ring on the other day and couldn’t even get it to the knuckle 😭 Hoping I will be able to get it on again without getting it resized. 

Happy or moody: Both. Tired, excited, uncomfortable...emotions are everywhere! Growing babies is hard.

Looking forward to: Baby boys being here 😜

30 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

I’ve been working away in the nursery & it’s so close to being finished! There’s a little peek of the color :) I can’t wait to share it! 

I’ve washed all of their bedding, swaddles, newborn clothes, etc.  You could say I’m definitely in nesting mode!  But really, I’m just trying to get everything done now so I can relax these last few weeks.  It will be a big relief to have everything set up & put away so we don’t need to worry about it later.

Lately, I’ve noticed that my feet get swollen really easily & my shoes aren’t fitting quite right anymore.  I need to remind myself to take it easy, but I feel like there is so much to do!

How far along: 30 weeks

Genders: BOYS

Total weight gain: 35 lbs. Thinking I’m going to start skipping this question...😂

Maternity clothes: I can’t fit into much else these days! This week, my mom bought me a few of these nursing/maternity bras because I’m quickly outgrowing my others. They are so comfy! I also got myself these jeans from Motherhood Maternity & they are the most comfortable pair of jeans I’ve ever had. Soo stretchy.  

Stretch marks: None yet

Sleep: Sleep has been a little better. Can’t get over the aching & soreness though. 

Best moment this week: Passing my glucose test 👊 I was a little worried since I’m at a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes because I’m carrying twins, but everything was good!

Worst moment this week: Dealing with a head cold.  

Movement: Less jabs/kicks & more rolling. Still feeling hiccups quite a bit.

Cravings: Back to fountain coke...it’s just. So. GOOD.

Queasy or sick: Sick, but not from pregnancy. I’ve come down with a cold...hopefully it will ease up soon. 

Labor signs: No signs of these little munchkins coming yet!

Belly button in or out: I think it’s officially out.

Wedding rings on or off: Originals are still off.

Happy or moody: More moody this week.

Looking forward to: Halloween! Or is it the Halloween candy? 🤔
