Well, I am one day away from being 24 weeks. I think. I keep losing track. Maybe I am almost 25....let me check. Yes, almost 25. This is the pregnant brain. So Sunday in church I was walking out of Sacrament and I could have sworn saw Mia and Kason walk out ahead of me (mind you Ryder and Kason were twinkies that day). I got stopped by someone and then when we were done talking I went to the hall way to see where Kason had gone and he had just disappeared. I told a friend in the hall I was looking for him and don't know where he went...then I walked into nursery and as I was talking to the ladies, I set Kason down on the table....YES...HE WAS ON MY HIP THE ENTIRE TIME! Holy guacamole! I didn't even know. Yes, worse than glasses on your head...I had an entire child on my hip...in my arms ( an almost 18 month old) and spaced it....yes. I am pregnant.
I am getting rather large. I look and feel about like I do at the end of a regular singleton pregnancy right now....so imagine having at least 10 more weeks on top of that. Oh so fun. But truthfully. Even though I am HUMONGOUS, only getting bigger, and only getting more uncomfortable. I will never complain. Because what a blessing for us to be waiting for two of Heavenly Father's little spirit children to come to our home. We have wanted and waited for so long.....so I will take all the extra pounds, tiredness, shortness of breath, heartburn, varicose veins, bazillion trips to the bathroom, irritability, and even planning a c-section if I must....for as long as necessary..though we are aiming for 10 more at the least!
So I am going every two weeks to the doctor since I am "an at risk" pregnancy. Yes, over 35....mind you I just turned 35 in June. But it is fun to get to go often anyways. This next week I go, they will start doing ultrasounds every appointment...which will be fun. :) I am always just a little apprehensive until we hear the heartbeats, but I am feeling good..and know they are growing...they have to be....I must measure 32 or 33 by now. If not more.
My last appointment the Dr. said what I already knew....depending on their placement towards the end depends on my type of delivery. I am hoping they are both head down, but even if they are, there is a chance of the second one turning after the first one is born. She also mentioned delivering that one breech. OUCH. Well, we will see and pray whatever transpires is not too painful of a recovery, but that both are born healthy and strong and in no need of the NICU.
Well, my feet have been dangling too long, time to go kick them up and sit some more on my duff. Sometimes it is hard being pregnant. :)
Anticipating greatness and cuteness in just a few short months! :)
