Symptoms: swollen feet and ankles, tired but not exhausted, sometimes I get sick to my stomach or like want-to-be heartburn if I eat too much but still nothing actually burning or coming back up thank goodness.
Stretch marks? still not seeing anything serious...let's keep it that way :)
Weight Gain: 22 ish pounds I think...maybe more (I haven't stepped on the scale lately)...I think I prob should eat more still based on how much I eat and the size of the babes although Dr B says everything is perfectly fine.
Sleep? I usually sleep good still and I slept in this morning because of my medical records job being "low census/over budget so take a couple days off" so that was nice.
Best moment this week? the baby shower was fun and my friend Lisa did a great job with it. I still don't like being the center of attention but it was okay. Lots of cute baby stuff and good necessities too. Also I had a dream that we had the girls. I was holding one and trying to decide on her name (we have two picked out) so I asked "Are you K___ or S___?" and this little girl whisper voice says "I'm S___" and I was like okay great (cause babies can talk and tell you hehe). They were both cuties too.
Movement? Yes a little less shifting and moving around but still mobile. Lots of hard bumps and body parts poking out too but I still can't figure out what body part they are usually. I was in bed last night and felt an elbow/knee/hand sliding back and forth on my belly...pretty cool. I wonder what they think when I play with them or push back.
Food Cravings? I really wanted meat the last couple days...both because it sounded good and I don't think I eat enough meat lately. So I bought a pork chop one day and then we had chicken the next day. I'll probably eat the other chop for lunch and then I'm going to meet up with Jeff after his work to go to one of our favorite local places. Milk is also still the best.
Gender? baby girls
What I miss? Nothing compared to where I am.
What I'm looking forward to? working on the crib bedding (today maybe?)...hopefully actually finishing it before they get here. Another baby shower on Saturday.
What I will miss? feeling the babies move. Being able to keep an eye on them and order just because they can't do anything but chill in my belly for the next while. Probably sleeping and me-time too.
Milestones: feeling baby parts not just movement. We'll have our child birth prep class on the 27th. I am now supposed to go in for weekly appointments with Dr B to "keep a closer eye on things" but my blood pressure, weight and the girls are all reportedly doing great. One girl is approx 2 lb 15 oz and one is 3 lb 6 oz.
Belly Button: still an innie.
