31 weeks

How I hate going to sleep! I just stand there and stare at the bed and want to cry. I am so tired yet it is so hard to sleep. My hips hurt, my back hurts, it's just very uncomfortable! I actually spent part of Wednesday night on the couch sleeping because the bed was just not comfy. I got my c-section paper work in the mail this week. November 2nd at 8am or 9am (I can't remember right now). I also met the doctor that will be performing my c-section and she was very nice. I told her I will be very thankful once she plucks these babies from me! I am also now suffering from very swollen feet and ankles, but luckily am showing no signs of Pre-E so its just wonderful pregnancy swelling!

ow far along? 31 weeks 4 days

Weight gain/loss: +24lbs... darn swelling!!
Maternity clothes? Wearing the same few shirts and pants I have...lol Shirts are getting shorter every day!

Stretch marks? Looks like some new ones might be making their way around my belly button :-(
Sleep? Sleeping like crap.. its getting hard to change positions and my hips are starting to bother me.
Best moment this week? knowing we are one more week closer to meet these girls!
Food cravings: dying for some sushi!
Gender: Definitely two girls (had the u/s tech check again)
Belly button in or out? In, but flattening
Movement? Feels like they are trying to claw their way out now!
What I miss? Being able to sleep comfortably.. I really really miss this!
What I'm looking forward to: just getting through another week.
Weekly wisdom: I love my little princesses!
Milestones: They are the size of a squash for the next couple weeks!

30 weeks

Well only eight more weeks to go!! Which reminds me I need to speak with my fav OB because I really want her to be the one to deliver my girls and I don't know if she is working the day I have my c-section scheduled. This week we had another u/s and the girls look great! They continue to measure within a day of each other and are estimated to weigh 3lbs 5oz and 3lbs 6oz. I hope they continue to grow, grow, grow in the coming weeks! I am already incredibly uncomfortable, so I really cannot imagine how much worse its going to get! Wish me luck!

I also have my baby shower this Sunday, so I am very excited to see friends and family who I have not seen in a bit!

So another week down, one more week closer to meeting these little girls. I met with my OB (well a different one in the practice) and she confirmed they will set my c/s date for November 2nd! She said a nurse will be calling in the next couple of weeks to give me the time and directions for the night before. Eeek! I am nervous about another c/s but understand it is the safest for both my girls and I! I am also sad about the idea of being away from Abby for five days! She'll only get to visit for a little bit each day :-( I will miss her so much.

BIL and SIL are still working on their house. Hopefully they will finish all the painting this weekend and start moving next weekend. My MIL is driving me crazy because she doesn't feel they should rush to get out. Um, yes they do because we have so much stuff to do here and I can't really help! So annoying! She keeps saying everything will get done, but um, we'd really like to be able to have everything done in the next couple weeks so we can just relax for a weekend or two before the babies come! But apparently, that idea has slipped her mind!

I also had my first week of school with the students. They are such a cute and nice bunch of kids. The worst thing was it was 90+ degrees this week and my school does not have air conditioning! So basically I was just drenched in sweat every day! It was awful and my feet and ankles were so swollen by the end of the week! I am definitely looking forward to the cooler fall weather, whenever it decides to show up.
