Dr said that since Baby A is still head down the chances of him moving now are slim. So we are on track for a vaginal delivery. Woot Woot
Cervix is perfect at 3.6 cm. I explained about the vaginal twinges I keep getting and he said it's probably because A has his head logged down in my pelvis and moving around.... Dr. said he was happy with the growth which is right on schedule. Their weights are close together which they look for.
My uterus is now finally the size of a full term single pregnancy size.
I'm not working anymore.
I find it hard to sit in the car to go shopping for any length of time...The pressure lower down, and under the lower part of my bra.
My feet are getting restless at night, so I've been wrapping my lower legs in a tensor bandage which helps greatly.
My GERD comes and goes.
I sometimes find it hard to wipe when going to the bathroom.
I did manage to shave my legs and my vag with the help of DH.
I have my glucose test on Saturday so we will see what that will bring.
Dr. said our goal is really 34 weeks, but he'd take 30 weeks if he had too...Although doesn't look like the boys are ready to come out yet..Bake boys bake!
Dr. also said that everything is going so well, I should be a poster girl for a twin pregancy since I've had nothing go wrong yet.....
Talk to you all next year!

It's been a while....Long update
Dec 9 - 2nd twin prenatal class. We learnt all about natural births....And the complications that come with being high risk. We also learnt about DH roles in a natural birth.
Dec 11 - Treated myself to a haircut and some highlights
Dec 14 - Found a stretch mark
Dec 16 - Learnt all about high risk c-sections and just how many people there will be in the room with me and DH if we have a c-section. We also learnt that our hospital bags should be packed and ready to go. Learnt about care of mothers and twins in the hospital. Learnt about what to put into the hospital bags.
Dec 18 -In laws arrive for xmas, and my last day of work. Woo Hoo!
Dec 23 - Had our 5th u/s. Was a little worried...Never slept the night before and didn't feel much movement.....
U/S went really well. Babies are measuring:
Baby A: 2 lbs, 11 oz
Baby B: 2 lbs, 8 oz
Growing really well for twins. Cervix is 3.3 cm, still pretty good. Baby A has his head logged into my pelvic and makes the letter C around my belly button and it almost like his is kicking himself in his head (at least it's not his brother anymore). Baby B has himself logged on top transverse still but more in a U shaped, and slightly under my ribs. The tech wasn't sure how I could continue eating with these big babies in me...
Baby A: HB 151
Baby B: HB 134
Dec 25 - Christmas!!!!!
Dec 27 - Found more stretch marks. A little disappointed, but that's ok...Not really concerned....I'm 31 now, so belly shirts are a little young for me. :-) As long as there are stretch marks....I know the babies are growing....Bought a rocking chair for twin feedings. Bought more stuff, like change table pads, baby medical supplies (thermometer, nail clippers, etc), swaddles.
How am I feeling? Having trouble sleeping, throat sensations (GERD) sometimes gets pretty bad, getting quite big and uncomfy, uncomfy to sit, to stand, to sit in the car, etc....My face has cleared up nicely. Have a hard time shaving my legs, and my vag....But that's where DH pitches in.
I know they say because of the hormones our pigmentation may change...like we get dark patches on our face, or that linea nigra....That hasn't really happened to me, but I have noticed in my armpits...that it looks like I've tried to dye my armpit hair....So maybe that's my pigmentation change????
Nothing much more to report....Getting excited and anxious at the same time....The worry had now changed to a different worry...It's more...How often do we bathe the babies, what about SIDS, when can they hold their head up, what about feedings, etc...Eeeeekkk....
I feel the babies moving quite often....Baby A likes to move during the day, and Baby B seems to prefer keeping me up at night....It's when they tag team that gets super uncomfy.....

Twin Prenatal Classes here we come
We started our multiples prenatal classes tonight. They will run for 3 Wednesday's in Dec and 3 in January. Classes are 2 1/2 hrs long, and the chairs are so uncomfy...
The good thing is that the instructor has twins of her own, and she is a L&D nurse at the hospital where we will be delivering.
We learnt a lot in the first class...
Stats on twins, stats on natural births and c-sections. Watched a couple of movies. Learnt that if we need to get up in the middle of the night because of hunger, it's perfectly alright (Phew). Learnt that b/w 40-50 lbs weight gain is good. Because twins often can come early, the more we gain the healthier the babies should be. Learnt that most of the women in the group (and multiples mothers) have a hard time feeling the babies move. She said it's because the babies are smaller and are sometimes harder to feel than a single. She said that the first 3 months is tough (which we already knew)...So much to learn
DH and I really want to learn about contractions, and the labour details (water breaking, contractions, losing the plug, etc).
Not much time now...We will be 24 weeks this week and time is sure flying.
Wish I could say the worry isn't there anymore, but it is...Every leakage I feel, every pain I get...Thank god for the monthly u/s and monthly OB appts.
Been buying some baby clothes only because the were on sale. $4 instead of $20, can't beat that.
Last big purchase will come at xmas which will be the car seats.
Will post pictures this week, I promise....
XOXO
