I dont know why I have been such a slacker the last trimester, maybe because Im just tired and gigantic and work too much. By the time I get home I just want to spend time with the hubby then crash. However Im going to stick with it these last few weeks and hopefully beyond. I really want to save more precious memories than I did with Jordan. I should have written more down with her but somehow I thought Id just remember stuff...not so much.
At my 32 week appointment on Feb 2nd I had another ultrasound. I decided to take Jordan to see her little brother since derek had to work. Over all she did well but as most little kids she was bored after the inital 5minutes. We actually got to see some cool shots of him! He was so stinkin cute jumpin all around in there. He showed his little face more this time and even stuck his foot up by his face haha. Think he is getting pretty cramped in there! He was weighing about 4lbs 5oz (roughly) and had a strong heartbeat right around 150bpm. Nice and healthy!
I havent been having as strong/regular contractions that I was before so that is good news. I still get them everyday but I think most of them are normal. Every once in a while I will have an off day where I have them all day long but typically only once or twice a week. Im glad they were able to postpone my labor but I have to say I still hope he comes either the end of the month or the begining of march. I am so big and everyone keeps asking if Im due any day. Even though it has gotten old and im sick of having the same conversation...I know I do look huge. I look due...but that has to do with all the extra fluid. (which by the way hadnt gone down...they think it maybe even went up to 27.5 from my last ultrasound when it was at 26.) I am all out front and quite a bit bigger than I was with Jordan that Im starting to get some stretch marks...UGH I think my body just cant possibly get any bigger and stretch out. It feels like my stomach is going to rip open all the time from the pressure. I really feel bad for anyone with multiples, I dont even want to imagine!
Other than that nothing has changed much I am up 20lbs of weight gain so far, right around 145, and the only new symptom lately is heartburn! OMG the only time I get it is late at night while im asleep, always about 3am. Its terrible, and happens almost every night now. Im not very happy with this new development...I never had that with Jordan. UGH
Oh and just a little rant about pinehurst surgical for a minute. 1st doctor says im measuring a week small back in dec. 2nd doctor says in Jan that im measuring 2 weeks ahead with alot of extra fluid. Then 3rd doctor says baby is measuring right on schedule and so am I, though I still do have extra fluid that they are going to continue to monitor. (which no one can figure out why since I have no pregnancy related issues) ...they are so so so frustrating. No matter where we live or what is going on when we have our next one I will NOT be going back there for this reason and a list of others.

Our little man! :) cant wait to meet him!
Nothing at all changed at my 33 week appointment. They were so behind he literally took my BP-normal. Then listened to the heartbeat and measured my belly and all looked great. Then he sent me on my way (and so quickly that they forgot to give me my shot for the week) though I was in a hurry because Jordan split her eye open while I was there. So that maybe it for the shots since I missed one? not sure how that will work, though I seem to be just fine. I have to say...I would love to end them because they are pretty painful, so Im sorta hoping they dont try to stick me again tomorrow.
