32 Weeks Pregnant with Twins!

I wish I would have started these sooner.. seeing as how at most we only have 5 weeks of pregnancy left! Better late than never, right?

How far along? We turned 33 weeks this morning!

How big is the peanut? At our last scan (over a week ago) Baby A was 3lbs 12oz, and Baby B was 4lbs 3oz! They are around 18 inches long.

Total weight gain/loss? I've only gained 10ish pounds.

Maternity clothes? All day every day that I have to wear clothes, however I must be honestly... anything but a t-shirt is pretty uncomfortable now. 

Sleep? What's that? Very little, honestly. Between the constant repositioning of myself, getting up to use the bathroom, and moments of insomnia... I'm lucky to get a solid three hours a night.

Best moment this week? Seeing both babies pass their first BPP with flying colors, and seeing that they have HAIR! (Their daddy was born with a ton of hair, and me? I was bald until I was two... so I just knew one was going to be bald and the other have a head full.)

Symptoms? Heartburn, waddle, swelling... still no definite Braxton Hick contractions though!

Food cravings? Mashed potatoes and Key Lime Crunch Greek Yogurt are the only things that sound appetizing to me

Food aversions? Meat

Gender? Two sweet little girls!

Labor signs? Not that I have noticed....

Belly button in or out? Barely in

What I miss? Sleeping on my belly

What I'm looking forward to? Getting the nursery 100% ready

Bump? Oh yeah....

I was reminded again this week at our high risk doctor's appointment how blessed I am. (As my Mom calls it, I'm having a "prayed up" pregnancy!) We had an early appointment and there was a couple in the waiting room that all the nurses and even doctors seemed to know them and speak. When we went back in the ultrasound room the tech was explaining all parts of the BPP (bio-physical profile, or fetal well-being test) to us. When she began to check the blood flow through the cord she explained to us what would happen if blood flow was no sufficient. She then told us the couple we saw were in their 28th week, and one of her twin's blood flow had started to reverse itself. They were waiting on one small marker to show on the ultrasound and she would have to deliver within 24 hours. Wow was all I could say. She seemed like a very healthy, younger woman... and here I am starting with health problems and having my original OB call me a "timebomb." (That's another story for another day...) We are definitely lucky these girls have staying in for so long, with no signs of stress or preterm labor. God is sure blessing us!

33 weeks down, at most FIVE to go!
