I know that I haven't been great at documenting this pregnancy...but let's be honest--it's numbers 3 and 4...they should get used to being neglected right?
FAQ's:
- How do I feel?
- I feel tired of trying to figure out how I feel! I appreciate those who exaggerate (LIE) and tell me how good I look, but I just want to say--really? You don't see that gigantic basketball protruding out of me? Or my face that looks like I've had an allergic reaction to something?
- Do we have names?
- NO!
- What's the gender?
- Still 100% 2 girls
- How many weeks are you?
- As of today, I am 32 weeks and 3 days. And yes, those 3 days matter. I am 3 weeks past the time that I had Adam and Rachel...and yes, we are very grateful for that.
- When are you due??
- I don't know! Anywhere between 3-38 weeks which puts me right around Thanksgiving. But if I actually make it to 38 weeks it would be a complete miracle. And the chances of going before 36 are high. So I'm just taking it one day at a time. My next hurdle is to make it past all Halloween festivities. After that, I just want to make sure I have my life in order
- Will I have a C-section--yes! My goal is to have it scheduled so I can make arrangements for my kids and do my hair and saunter into the hospital and pretend I am having a spa day instead of major surgery. Plan B...I go into labor early and take a ride in an ambulance to the hospital and then have emergency surgery instead.
- Will I have help?
- Yes! That is the one thing I am not worried about. Between our parents, siblings, friends and ward we should have a lot of help. Would it still be good to have more? You bet!
- How often do you go to the doctor?
- Twice a week for non stress tests...and yes, that might seem a little obsessive, but we don't care
- Will you be on bed rest?
- I doubt it unless something dramatic happens. But I may lie about that and pretend just so I can get some more sleep!
- Do you have all of your old baby stuff?
- Yes and no. I do have the majority of it, but I borrowed some and have lost some along the way. The main stuff I need are: diapers, burp cloths, bottles, and twin equipment that will make life easier.
- Are you planning to breast feed?
- I don't know...next...
- Are Adam and Rachel going to share a room again?
- Not if I can help it, but maybe if it were legal to drug them every night. Actually, the best decision I ever made? Getting them clocks and telling them they can't get out of bed until it says 8!
- How much do the babies weigh?
- I don't know--somewhere between 3 and 4 lbs...so not big enough yet!
So there you go--and here are my latest pictures--mostly for gma's sake!
Proof that babies can smile...even though this one is a little creepy :) |
