30 weeks

Myth · #1 Jul 12, 2006, 09:57 AM

I don't know if this qualifies as a question since i'm just updating everyone about how things are coming along...lol.. Hopefully all this might help someone else at some point in time...

I just got back from my 30 week appt. and everything is much better than it was last week. I did get an u/s today and the girl weights 2lbs 15oz and the boy is at 3lbs 2oz. The girl has finally decided to go into the birthing position thats the good news... The boy on the other hand has flipped over again and is kicking the h*ll out of my cervix. Let me tell you that does not feel good at all. I have felt myself start to stretch out in prep. for birth. When I told the dr. he said that considering i'm carrying around six pounds of baby that it didn't suprise him. He didn't check me though. I'm kinda glad about that. I'm guessing i'm around two cm dilated now. He told me not to worry about going into labor just yet, but that I could in three weeks..lol.. I decided to take child birth classes this time around since i'm having twins... I almost left last night cause they aren't telling me anything that I haven't experienced before. Nothing helpful anyway. The breathing technic is just plain funny to me cause i'm never going to use it... It made me yawn so much that I couldn't do it and I don't have the lung expansion in the first place to do it... All in all I had a wonderful appt this week and will be back in on wed next week to see a different dr. as mine wont be in that week. Besides, I really do need to get to know other dr's in the office cause there will be two present when I deliver... I plan on having an epidural during delivery just in case I do have to have a section. I want that pain med already in place when that is decided. It will all depend on how the babies are sitting when I go into labor. Well I am really tired and i'm going to take a nap. I hope this helps put everyone at ease, cause it sure has put me at ease. I'll check in soon...ttyl

that is exactly how i felt about the classes. I mainly just went so that my husband would go. because they werent telling me anything i didnt already know, but since he wasnt reading up on everything like i was, it was all news to him, and i think it helped him to be calmer about the process, and it helped him to feel more connected to the pregnancy, and more involved. it was also pretty great when they had a dad put on the preggy suit. haha. it was this lil suit that had all the weight and bulk in all the same areas that a preggy woman does, and they had the dad bend over to pick stuff up and so forth, so that he could feel how it felt for us girls. haha. atleast for a few minutes. Glad to hear all is well with you and the lil angels.

Well the babies have decided to drop. I'm holding off as long as I can on the whole nesting instinct because it was two weeks with my last two that I had them after I cleaned everything from top to bottom. I'm doing lots of cleaning this weekend if I have the energy...lol. We also are having a huge baby shower/get together this weekend on saturday. There's sapposed to be 45 plus ppl there. I can't wait to get out of the house!!! I usually only get out if i'm headed to a dr appt. although I did over do it yesterday with shopping with my mom in law. I'm having my b/h contractions but they aren't painful or even worth timing since they are so few and far between. Sunday seems to be the day where i'm going to rearrange the nursery and paint the bathroom. We are also going to go and get a special outfit for both the babies. I'm guessing I have about a month before they decide to make their grand entrance...lol. call it mom's intuition. Or the fact that they are making me dialate even more today and yesterday but I don't think it will be too long before they get here now. A month will put me at 34weeks. I am hoping they decide to "cook" a bit longer but my gut tells me different. I could be wrong though. It's been known to happen from time to time... hehehe

wow, sounds like you are gonna be busy this weekend!!! do be sure to take it easy if at all possible, or you may end up with them even sooner then you think. The shower sounds like its gonna be great! You are going to get alot of great stuff too! So you are getting two special outfits to bring them home in? I loved doing that with my son. I wanted my hubby to pick it out. i admit i was a lil nervous about what he would pick, haha, but he did well and got something way adorable. I am so excited for you! Can't wait until your lil ones are here!

Yep gotta get two outfits for pictures to be taken in...lol. No hospital clothes for that. I will probably have Drew pick the boy outfit...lol. He doesn't know it yet though.

J_9,
No worries, I would opt to see my oldest too when it comes down to it. I have the car on wed so just let me know when and we'll meet up.

Well just got back from another appointment and everything is ok... although i'm measuring 36weeks. I feel like i'm ready to pop. I can't wait till they get here and I can actually bend over again. I have been having some really painful b/h contractions the last couple of days. Nothing new there...hehe.. It's getting really really hot down here. I am staying in the ac as much as possible. The boy still hasn't flipped around head down again yet. I keep hoping he will since he'd be the first out, but i'm starting to loose hope since it's getting so cramped in there. I am so tired and swollen all the time now. I just can't wait for this to be over...lol.. though I do want them as healthy as possible. Well I'll update this again next week when I have the next ultra sound.

good to hear all is well! the heat is sooo tiresome when you are preggy. ESP with twin i would imagine! hah. you're almost done, hang in there. just drink lots of water, and get as much rest as possible. what you have been hearing for a long time i am sure. sorry. haha. whens the baby shower?

Myth · Jul 20, 2006, 09:27 AM

Well i'm told that I have to stay indoors at the moment since the heat index is at 104. I don't even plan on walking to the mail box. It's about 65 in the house with the ac going. I don't think I could stand to do much more than sit here at the moment. We had the shower on the 15th and had 25 people come.. It was wonderful. I swear we were in the middle of a baby store with all the things we got. We did get alot of diapers and wipes thank god. And outfits for the kids. Amazingly enough we didn't get any matching outfits. The guys that came loved the buffet style food arrangement, there was enough to choke a horse. We still have some cake left. After the shower it took me till today to get the swelling down in my legs...lol.. I'm just glad it went down. My b/p is starting to go up it was 130/70 yesterday. Its still ok but i'm starting to get concerned about developing pre eclampsia. Other than that I'm doing just fine trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in.... Last night it was on the couch...lol... well think i'm going to go fold some of the kids clothes that I got washed yesterday... Keep your fingers crossed that I last a few more weeks.
