How
far along? 24
& 25 weeks
Total weight gain: 40 pounds My doctor is not concerned at all about this he
said that in his experience the healthiest twins have been ones where the mama
gained well over 60 pounds.
Maternity clothes? All day everyday when I’m home it’s maternity yoga pants
allll the time.
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion twice a day morning and night. I
know they are coming and I’m okay with it. Heck once these babies are born and
healthy I will have earned those stretch marks
Sleep: It’s a lot of work to roll over in bed. Plus I have been having horrible insomnia some nights so I just take sleep when I can get it.
Best moment this week: We celebrated B’s 5th
birthday and I got a massage it was ahhhmazing. Plus we got to see them on a
sonogram.
Miss Anything? I can’t wait to sleep on
my stomach!
Movement: Yes two ninjas in there.
Food cravings: Kraft Mac n Cheese you know the kind in the blue box? Yeah that plus I really have been digging eggs. Chip dip has come back with vengeance. Plus I have been digging those little halo oranges however they give me the worst heartburn.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just
heartburn after certain things I have really cut down on the sweets/grease
filled foods so that has helped. I think I have more acid reflux than heartburn
because sometimes I will throw up a little bit after I eat no matter what it is
and I’m sure that is just due to the lack of room my stomach has.
Gender:
Boy and Girl
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Just getting bigger by the day and I’m okay with that. Oh yeah plus my first bloody nose ever in my life this week. That was crazy.
Belly Button in or out? In and out depends on the babies movement
Wedding rings on or off? My band is off but my engagement ring is on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!
Looking forward to: Monday Michael and I have the whole day off together to get our shopping for the twins done. I’m so excited to have that checked off our list.

Grayson: He came to our
sonogram with us last week and loved seeing the babies. He then said he was
naming is brother don’t touch my toys and his sister cereal. Good choices! Ha!
So at the beginning of last week I got a call
that I failed my 1 hour glucose test. I was super bummed. I really didn’t want
to do the 3 hour. But I decided to just get it done and over with so the next
day (Tuesday) I decided to work from home and go get my 3 hour test done first
thing in the morning. Let me just say that 100 gram drink was so bad. It was
like drinking kool-aid that had tripled the sugar in it. Plus after having to
fast and drink it on an empty stomach I had a headache the rest of the day.
Anyway, I went to the doctors on Thursday where we got the two thumbs up that
the babies were doing awesome weighing in at 1 pound 13 ounces (baby girl) and
1 pound 12 ounces (baby boy). I then asked him about my glucose test and he
said he’s not surprised I failed it because I have two placentas and that most
people pregnant with multiples fail the one hour. Plus I just failed it. Like the cut off is 130 I was at 134. He has no
doubt that I will pass my 3 hour and that everything is fine, and since it has
been over a week and I have not heard anything I’m going by the no news is good
news. We also talked about working and he has agreed that as long as my body
can handle it and the babies are doing okay that I can work up until my
c-section. That makes me so happy because some doctors in our area are quick to
pull out of work and I would go crazy not working. I feel better about
everything in the last week. Plus seeing my two babies with my biggest baby was
awesome. Grayson loved seeing the sonogram and my mom got to come too so that
was special. I guess I have been having a hard time because people find it okay
to comment on my size. I get a lot of “You’re so big and still have such a long
way to go I would slow down on the eating if I were you” or “You’re not going
to make it to term you will have those babies early” and my favorite “There is
no way you will be able to work and take care of Grayson much longer get ready
for bed rest” Ugh! The last thing I want to hear is that I can’t take care of
my boy. I just can’t believe that people think its okay to say things like that
to anyone. But I’m doing better, trying to remember perspective and my doctor
says I’m doing good and he is the one that knows. Plus this week when I was
talking to Michael I said that we have anywhere from 10 to 13 weeks until the
babies come. He told me to stop counting in weeks because it sounds too soon
and to use months until we get to the last month. Ha! This pregnancy is flying
by!
