32 weeks!

We had ultrasounds yesterday, but the pictures did not come out because both the girls faces were hidden by other things.  Darn those internal organs for needing some space. 

What we learned is that Apple is now 3lbs and Berry is 4lbs (in utero names, don't get too attached).  They are back to a 25% difference in weight and the doc seemed to think that Apple was unusually small.  But he found no problems, both healthy.  He recommended that I get more rest...  In two weeks and one more day my savior will be here and I will try to get more rest and eat more 'til then.  Both yesterday and today I managed good naps! Hooray. 

Apple is still breech but they are moving around constantly and I have a massage included as part of our doula package that can be used to turn and position the girls before labor.  Hopefully we will still be able to have a natural birth.

I'm feeling a lot of braxton hicks these days, having more difficult sitting up from laying and standing up from sitting, feeling like a big immovable object, and really tired of wearing the same old clothes just because they are the only ones that fit and keep me cool in the weather... so today I am feeling pretty in a skirt.

30 Weeks - Starting to slow down

My Thyroid has gone the other way now, from overactive to underactive.  This may be the cause of my extreme fatigue this week, I've also had a cold, or it could be that I am big and growing a lot and I'm just going to keep being tired.  I hope it is one of the first two and the fatigue dissipates!

29 Weeks

So last weekend I had my first experience of overdoing it a little and having to spend the evening sitting and resting with my feet up while others did my fetching and tasks. It was very difficult to rest for sure when we had guests at the house and even when it was just Thom and I, I didn't like to have to ask him to get me things when I would usually just stand up and get them myself.  I am paying good attention to not overdoing it again.

Here are this weeks pictures, and see Turi's Blog to see a cute one with him

Also, here is a pic of me from the back because people are commenting that if you see me from behind, you wouldn't even realize I was prego... well I say I am wider than normal, but not wider than a normal person...
