have 3 weeks to go until my scheduled c section on 7 11 11 i m retaining water in my lower extremities like its my job its far worse on my left side which according to my ob is because i ve experienced trauma ie surgery on my left leg so my blood circulation is already compromised basically my thighs down to my feet look disgusting and i m embarrassed by them i used to have such nice and toned legs i ve been having a lot more contractions which are getting more and more uncomfortable i also have quite a bit of cramping however at my 35 week ob appointment i m not dilated yet but maybe i m getting there how far along 35 weeks weight gain loss 39 lbs most of which has got to be all this damn fluid maternity clothes yes sleep bathroom trips and contractions are keeping me up best moment this week michael feeling the babies being really active and telling me they want out he then installed the car seats in my car food cravings still watermelon gender boy girl what i m missing my body what i m looking forward to meeting my babies posted by mamabear7 at 4 13 pm 7 comments labels retaining water swelling twins thursday june 16 2011 34 weeks its been an eventful week for me on sunday had my baby shower hosted by michael s 4 aunts it was a beautiful day beautiful decorations delicious food and wonderful family and friends to share the day with i couldn t believe how emotionally overwhelmed i felt throughout the day i just couldn t believe after all i ve been through that i was finally in the home stretch and sharing it with such amazing people we got a lot of wonderful gifts and an insane amount of baby clothes it seemed most people arrived with a his and hers gift bag which is quite thoughtful but made for a lot of gifts to open probably the most sentimental gift i got was from annie my sister in law among other things she put a picture of her two kids riland age 6 and bergen age 3 in a cousins frame that a sweet little saying on it riland also wrote a note in blue marker saying i can t wait to meet you of course my eyes swelled up with tears i also had any ultrasound on tuesday which i wrote about in the previous post this put a little panic in me and garnered excitement in michael he s says he s just anxious to meet the babies but part of me thinks he s tired of hearing me complain about all the fluid i ve been retaining this fluid is slowly taking over my body what started just in my feet progressed to my ankles and calves and this morning my thighs it looks so bad and i m so embarrassed i know i shouldn t be but its just not me i look down and cannot believe these are my legs what the hell happened the one thing i keep telling myself is that its not permanent i ve been lucky enough to avoid stretch marks at least so far so i should suck it up and deal with the swollen lower extremities like the tough bitch i am how far along 34 weeks weight loss gain 34 lbs maternity clothes yes sleep not so good best moment this week baby shower with family and friends food cravings once again i can t get enough watermelon gender boy girl what i m missing easily finding a pair of shoes to wear what i m looking forward to finishing the nursery this weekend posted by mamabear7 at 4 49 pm no comments labels baby shower retaining water swelling twins wednesday june 15 2011 11 lbs 6 oz baby in my belly yesterday at exactly 34 weeks i had my last and final growth scan to check in on the babies i always enjoy having the ultrasounds hearing their heartbeats watching them wiggle around and hearing how well they are doing both babies have been measuring ahead at all my ultrasounds so i ve come to expect that my 30 week ultrasound was the first one that little guy baby b measured larger than baby girl baby a as it turns out little guy is not so little anymore he s weighing in at an estimated 6 lbs 1 oz which puts him at the 95 th percentile and actually measuring 36 weeks instead of 34 weeks holy smokes that a big baby his heart rate was perfect at 134 and everything was just as it should be thankfully baby girl weighed in at 5 lbs 5 oz which puts her at the 75 th percentile and has her measuring 35 weeks instead of 34 weeks her heart rate was 136 and she was perfect in every way both babies are now transverse and as the mfm put it baby girl has the bottom bunk and little guy has the top bunk their heads are together which i m probably envisioning is much cuter than it really it is while i m thrilled both babies are wonderful and measuring nice and big i expressed my concern that both babies are measuring so big and i still have 4 weeks to get me to the 38 week mark the doctor seemed pretty confident i d go into labor on my own before 38 weeks he said the babies are measuring big and i have a small frame so he wouldn t be surprised if i had them within 2 weeks or so yikes enter panic mode i almost started crying i m scared shitless and hardly feel ready on the contrary michael is thrilled and super excited he said it was the best appointment yet because he s so excited to meet our two little miracles while i am too i m worried about their lung development among other complications if they are born too early finishing their nursery installing car seats buying diapers and crib mattresses my list could go on and on i go see my ob on monday and we will definitely be having a chat about this i also want him to do an internal and tell me if i m starting to dialate as i feel that is a better indicator of an impending labor in the meantime i will be frantically trying to get my shit together and finish up all the last minute items just in case posted by mamabear7 at 4 50 pm 1 comment labels growth scan mfm twins friday june 10 2011 33 weeks 33 weeks and i m really starting to feel it my back hurts from sitting at my desk all day and my legs ankles and feet are retaining so much water i feel like i m having an out of body experience when i look down i just can t believe those are my legs what happened to my thin toned legs i see them in the morning and at some point during the day they disappear it probably doesn t help that its been in the 90 s here and extremely humid other than the swelling and back aches i m still forging ahead i m still going to the gym and trying to do as much as i can in all honesty i m afraid to stop i feel like if i stop i loose like i m letting pregnancy kick my ass and i m not having that i m loving feeling the babies move and how they keep getting stronger little guy seems so much lower than he was hence my basketball belly baby girl i swear is coming out of my side it is so funny to her push or stretch and its so far on the side of my belly its almost in the back how far along 33 weeks weight gain loss 30 lbs maternity

free and don t have any restrictions i m still working going to the gym and doing all my normal activities i have however and unfortunately now succumbed to retaining water and wonderful swelling in my feet ankles and calves nice timing just as its getting hot and i want to wear shorts or cropped pants i m now too embarrassed to wear anything but jeans and long dresses and skirts i had my first nst non stress test on memorial day it was supposed to take 30 minutes or so but i was there for 2 hours baby girl wasn t responding as they wanted her too so they just kept monitoring me to make sure things were okay thankfully she started to become more active which appeased the doctors and i was released after two long hours i was also informed this will now be a weekly appointment i guess its time to find a good book to bring along i also dropped it may be hard to tell in the pictures but i woke up on monday and michael i couldn t believe the difference in my belly i now have very visible upper ribs that look like brackets holding my belly up it makes me a little bit nervous because i thought you didn t drop until the end of the pregnancy but i guess i m getting close how far along 32

strong i had an ob appointment at 30 weeks and my ob has been really impressed with how well i m doing and how great i look of course that s always a nice compliment i have my first nst non stress test on monday memorial day just shy of 32 weeks and then head back to the ob hopefully all is well i must look like i m about to pop because i ve had several people this week mostly men ask me if i m due any day now it makes feel like i must look huge discourages me that i still have 7 weeks left to go and overall is just a bit offensive i m not huge by any means perhaps because just about all the weight i ve gained has gone straight to my belly i look disproportionately large i don t know how far along 31 weeks weight gain loss 26 lbs maternity clothes yes sleep between the time i go upstairs

are doing good are big and healthy food cravings lemon ice popsicles anything cold and sour is always good gender boy girl what i m missing sleeping on my stomach or just sleeping for that matter what i m looking forward to planting my vegetable garden this weekend hopefully posted by mamabear7 at 1 48 pm 1 comment labels twins thursday may 19 2011 7lbs 3oz of babies in my belly on tuesday at exactly 30 weeks i had my appointment with the mfm for a growth scan at my last growth scan at 26 weeks both babies were measuring big so i didn t expect them to suddenly be smaller but boy were we as well as the doctor surprised to find out just how big they were measuring now little guy baby b has always been smaller i m even convinced that he was the embryo that wasn t hatching when we went in for our embryo transfer well guess what that little guy has finally taken over and now out weighs his sister he is estimated to weigh 3lbs 12 oz which puts him in the 86 th percentile he s also made himself comfortable curled up transverse and high in my belly baby girl baby a who s typically been larger has now been surpassed by her brother but she is still holding her own weighing in at 3lbs 7oz putting her at the 65 th percentile she is still vertex although she is snuggled in really low both babies heart rates were good baby girl at 136 and little guy at 156 unfortunately we didn t get any pictures because baby girl was facing my back and little guy was curled in a ball i m just happy they are big and healthy my cervix is still holding strong at 3 2 which the doctor said was great for some reason i m super paranoid about my cervix and request trans vaginal ultrasounds at every appointment it always makes for an uncomfortable moment between me and whichever doctor i m seeing i think michael gets embarrassed for me they seem to think i have no idea how they need to take the measurement i remind them every time that i m pregnant thanks to my 4 th ivf so me and the vag cam go way back as i mentioned earlier the doctor we saw seemed surprised by the size of the babies he said if we make it to term they will be good sized babies he even made a couple references to in normal twin pregnancies followed by but in your case since the babies are quite big particularly for being twins hopefully they keep getting bigger i would love to deliver full term healthy big babies that require no nicu time stay put little ones mama loves you just where you are oh and she is not ready at all posted by mamabear7 at 4 21 pm no comments labels growth scan mfm twins older posts home
