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.....
