So, we had another appointment last Wednesday. The babies were both 2.5 pounds. Doing very well. We did the heart rate monitoring where they strap this belt around me with these two round things to pick up the heart beats. That was tough! We had to keep one on one baby and one on the other and in the mean time make sure I didn't pick up my own heart rate! Plus they don't like to be told to sit still! So they were moving all over the place! Brian watched the monitor and had to tell me every time we lost one, then I had to move around and find it back.
Also had the glucose test. It really was not as bad as I had myself prepared for! It did taste like flat Sunkist soda. That was a relief! I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I passed that...
Other than that, Sonya came over yesterday and we worked on the babies' room. We got everything touched up. All the stripes are touched up and I started to draw the polka dots! Yaa!! I got the long wall drawn! I don't know if I will have the energy to work on it this week or not.
My stomach is really starting to hurt now. Along with my ribs, and just about everything else. Getting harder to breath too, I guess they are fighting for space in there and moving around putting pressure on everything. If you think about it I have a 5 pound baby in side of me! That's pretty much a full term baby right now and I still have 11 weeks left! Last week I was all optimistic thinking that this wasn't going so bad and that I really thought I could make it to the 40 weeks. Now... I'm starting to doubt myself. Kim said she started to feel it at about 28 weeks... Right on Kimmy! But I'm going to hold out as long as I can. If it comes to me being miserable, or them inducing, I'll take being miserable. I want my babies to cook as long as they can. I hope I can keep working though... I really need to work as long as I can. I'm worried about being put on bed rest with my legs going numb and weak like they do. I'm also starting to get worried if I'm going to make it to the showers that my friends and family have planed for us. I guess we will just take it day by day...
Anyway, I guess that's it for now! I hope to get some more pictures posted soon!
Have a great day everyone! :)
