Size of babies: They're over 5 lbs a piece now. The sono tech had a hard time measuring baby boy because he's so low. Not that it matters because either way I'm carrying over TEN POUNDS of babies!!
Total weight gain: Again, up one pound. Nothing really sounds good to eat still, and there's not much room to hold food anyway! I can always go for a milkshake though.
Maternity clothes: I think I may delete this question. Obviously, it's all I can wear. But, with being on bed rest, wearing sweats is plenty comfy!
Movement: More so now that I'm still the majority of the day. I notice they're hiccups a lot more, and they have pretty set active times now. Their momma is hoping they stick to that and let her sleep! And somehow there was enough room for LITTLE MISS to flip back up to breech! Stinker!!! My dr is wanting me to prepare for a csection if she doesn't flip back, but that terrifies me!! I really want to try to deliver baby boy vaginally and hope she flips when he's out. If she doesn't, it would be an emergency csection and they'd have to have her out 3-5 minutes later. I'd have to be knocked out and all that, but my thinking is I won't be stressing/passing out knowing it was a for sure thing... But the thought of recovering from a vaginal AND csection birth doesn't sound fun. But still more fun than preparing to be cut open :)
Sleep: Not bad, but not great. I don't think it's so much babies, just not being able to go back to sleep.
What I miss: Leaving the house!! Today marks a full week on bed rest. I am not the type that enjoys having to do nothing all day. Sure, the idea of it is great, but I'm sure most other moms are like me, and it's so hard not to just do something my kids are asking for, or throw that load in the laundry, or run to the store when we're out of milk. Plus, I stay on the couch most of the day, so it's not like I can just watch Law and Order: SVU all day. The boys are still running around, so it's been House Hunters and Property Brothers.
Cravings: If I do want to eat, it's usually pasta of some kind or something sweet. I need to ask my MIL if she'll make me some chocolate chip cookies. She brought me a cookie cake Saturday night when the took the boys to their house, (it's gone now, don't ask for any!) and my mom brings some sort of drink/shake when she comes over, so I've been very thankful!
Symptoms: Seriously don't know how my belly could stretch any more. I lotion up multiple times a day because of how tight it is. Other than that, just the back pain.
Best moment: I don't know if there's really been a BEST moment, but a few that have made me laugh. Chris told Logan to make sure I stay on the couch and don't get up unless I'm going to the bathroom or getting a drink. If you know my kid, he takes his jobs seriously. It's mostly worn off now, but for the first few days I would start to stand up and Logan would run over and ask me, "What do you think you're doing, MOMMA?!" If it wasn't one of my two things, he would say, "I'm going to call dadda!" By the time Chris got home, Logan would tell him how many times I got up and what I did. I can't get away with anything!
My belly button popped. Never did with the boys
and is the most uncomfortable thing!!
