29 & Counting!

Not the best pic, but you can thank my phone! It bites a big one. I need a new one....

So I am now 29 weeks.....I went to the doctor on Monday....I am measuring 40cm....ha. Super huge. I grew 4 cm in 2 weeks. That is crazy! 

The babies are great....they are obviously not lacking for nourishment. Which is great, because then whenever they are born, if it happens to be early, they will be a good size. 

I am not seeing me deliver before 38 weeks. That is when they will induce me for sure. I just can't imagine going before then, but I can see myself waddling around for another 9 1/2 weeks. :) 

So no complaining but just stating the facts...here is what it is like being pregnant with twins at 29 weeks and 40cm: 

I have ONE pair of pants to wear...the end

I am now down to maybe 4 shirts I rotate that cover my massive belly

I only wear tennis shoes now.....very loosely tied....to fit my fat feet in

I waddle everywhere

My hips hurt most of the time and esp. when I get up from sitting or laying down. 

My belly itches

I am hungry always at like 10pm...yikes...not good. I should go to bed. But gotta feed the babies! 

It is a HUGE chore to get in and out of my van, let alone put Kason in and get him in his carseat. I try not to go anywhere by myself if I can help it.

I am super irritable.....I almost took off some parent's head yesterday at the 4th/5th grade choir concert for no good reason, or at least not for anything their fault...it was a good reason.

My house is NEVER clean enough and I can't do it...so everyone else gets yelled at. Sorry. :(

There is barely any room for Kason to sit on my lap...he tends to think my big belly is his arm rest. He just makes himself comfortable. 

The girls are always kissing my belly.....esp. Sienna and telling the babies goodnight. 

Everywhere I go people say, "Oh you are about to pop!" Then I have to say..."oh yeah, in a couple of months!" ha. :) 

At night I get up to tinkle at least 3x for sure....in and out of my bed....for which I have to use a step ladder to get into. (Thanks Nelson). 

I toss and turn sides constantly because laying on one side for too long is uncomfortable and my hips start to ache.

My toes and fingers go to sleep super easy.

My left leg swells a bunch and therefore requires me to put my feet up as often I can. I am trying to work on that one. I have a few good books to lure me in. 

Seeing little new babies melts my heart, because I get so excited to be having two and can't wait! (Perhaps I won't be sharing with the kids)

I often think of ways in my head I can snuggle them both at the same time and not share. I have gotten greedier with my children the more I have. :) But I am sure there will be plenty of times I am more than willing to share..maybe. :) 

After a couple of hours of the day, I am exhausted and worn out. 

Oh so many good and challenging things at this point, but all such blessings of what is to come. I can't believe Christmas is here soon and then the babies. Time is flying fast. 

I am Super blessed!
