DE FET #3 - 30 weeks, 4 days

Last week I had yet another ultrasound to see the twins. The boy is estimated to be weighing in at 3lbs 8oz and the girl is weighing in at 3lbs 6oz so very close to her brother. The doctor said that they are little chunky monkeys. Which in a way I suppose is a good thing but let me tell you it's been hard on mama to say the least. 

My belly has gotten pretty big but that's to be expected with twins I suppose and I've only had minimal swelling at this point. I am so greatful for that. I pray that I don't swell like I did last time. With my belly so big it's so hard to do anything at this point I can't imagine throwing in the swelling. Though most of all I just want these little guys to be healthy. Oh and I've had heart burn this last week which has been so unbearable, I've never had heart burn before, it sucks so bad. My blood pressure has been increasing, now when I go to my OB's office it's been 140/90 but when I'm at home it's like 110/84 so she wants to watch it but thinks I may deliver sooner. I hope it doesn't go up. 

On April 16th, just about a week ago now, Little H climbed out of his crib so we converted his crib into the toddler  bed.  So far he's done pretty good with it. He's gotten up out of his bed twice this week at night to either play or get his water but other then that I think he's done a pretty good transition so far. He's just growing up so fast these days. And he's talking up a storm too, he's such a smart little boy. 

Got the cal today and my scheduled c-section booked for June 2nd at 9:00 so if all goes well that will be the twins birthday. 

DE FET #3 - 25 weeks, 5 days

It's Friday today, I've been officially off work on short term disability now for 5 days. This week has been good, except for the fact that since Thursday I've developed a bad chest cold with a nasty sore throat. Sleeping the last few nights have been horrible. I sure hope it goes away soon. 

I had an OB appt on Tuesday and she said all is looking good with the babies except I still have a marginally low lying placenta so I still have to take it easy but she said I can now go on my elliptical but at an easy pace so that's good news. She measured my belly and I'm measuring at 31 weeks so not small by any means but not super big either, thank goodness. 

As for the swelling it really hasn't been too bad, let's hope it continues. I just have some marginal swelling in my feet and calves by the end of the day. 

DE FET #3 - 22 weeks, 1 days

So far things are going well. I have a tiny bit of swelling by the end of the day but that seems to be pretty much gone by the next morning. I think last time the swelling started around 24 weeks so I'm still waiting but hoping it doesn't happen this time around.

Last weekend hubby and I were able to go to the mall and get a few sleepers for the twins. It was nice to be able to look at girl stuff this time around. I'm getting so excited for their arrival.


In just a few days we have the cribs arriving for our little peanuts. I'm so excited.


Little H had swimming this weekend with his dad. He loves swimming so much. Then he got to spend some time with his Grandma and Aunty A. Then on Sunday Nana and Papa can over for dinner and he thoroughly enjoyed that too.
