Week 33

Week 33! So I ate lots of cake this week. Which explains my jiggles. I wish I cared more but I don't. I went to the doc today, and he seems to think Emmy might be my biggest baby yet, and I don't think he is wrong! He also doesn't see me making it past the first week of June...then again they said that with Sadie, so I don't really believe them anymore. Either way I am doing better since I got some heartburn medicine. He says all my back pressure is from how she is laying all forward, as in none of her body resides near my spine at all. You would think it would cause less pain but it actually causes more. My back is begging for relief. But my little girl is head down and getting ready. Oh man...she is coming so soon. Here I am at 33 weeks 1 day!!

32 Weeks

8 month mark Whoohhoooo!! Eight weeks to go at the most! Finally I am feeling the end is in sight. I finished Emily's room and her crocheted blanket!! I am done preparing for her early, because I feel terrible right now. James and I both have this weird feeling that I am not going to be able to do very much the next few weeks. Probably because the bigger she gets the less I seem able to do. I can't carry laundry down anymore, and I can barely do the dishes with having contractions. I think it has a lot to do with her positioning, she is low and all in the front. I don't think she is laying quite head down yet, she still seems sideways! I don't know why this pregnancy has been so hard on me, but I will be glad when I can hold my baby girl and know I baked her for nine months despite all my whining... Pregnancy really is a miracle and I think that is why it is so exciting for everyone who has a loved one who is. Here is a picture of me at 32 weeks 1 Day! June can't come soon enough!

31 Weeks

Stretching, heartburn, chocolate cake, braxton hicks, and more heartburn...that is about what I would say sums up 31 weeks. I am tired, I go to sleep at 10, and wake up at 7 tired. I am having a harder time sleeping now that Emmy is getting bigger. And boy is she getting bigger,I feel her moving in my ribs and my bladder. I am almost done with Emmy's room, and her knit blanket is done. I am almost done with her crocheted blanket and I washed all her clothes this week. I am anxious about the next few weeks, we have a lot of appointments for Evan and Makayla that will be very stressful and time consuming, so I feel like I need to be ready for Emmy like she was coming tomorrow, because May is going to fly by. Emmy has hiccups and is kicking my ribs, so I think she is done with my rambling. Here is a picture of me at 31 weeks 2 days!

30 weeks

I am huge, I ate way to much candy this week and started having braxton hicks. But...on the plus side I only have 10 more weeks!!! AHHHHHHH! Seems like time is starting to fly and I am feeling so unprepared. Oh well, I am sure I will get it done. I think Emily is starting to move into position now, she has made a lot of big uncomfortable wake me up from my sleep moves the last few days. I didn't take a picture this week but am going to include my maternity pictures my mom took last weekend. I love them.

29 Weeks

Well, I passed my diabetes test, got my rhogam shot, now I just wait. Wait for Emmy to get fatter and fatter and then push her out of me. I am feeling just tired, I am so grateful that my body is able to do this, but I am hoping to get into better shape before we do this again. And yes... I do plan on doing this just one more time. James and I have both had very clear inspiration on the number of children we should have. Six is our magic number. I think I will be happy when I am done having children, but also sad that part of my life is over, but mostly happy. I have had a lot of issues with leg swelling this time around and heartburn. I have never really dealt with those issues very much. Every time is something a little different. My weight gain has been ridiculous, but I am going to try to curb it these last couple months, I think a lot of it is weather change though. The warmer weather is making my body retain water a lot. Here I am at 29 weeks 1 day, and yes that is Top Gear in the background!

28 weeks!

So here I am at 28 weeks...huge,very very huge!

James and I were talking today and speculating if they were wrong about how many are inside of me..is it possible for twins to hide that long? I know its impossible...but really I am ridiculously huge, 12 more weeks seems impossible!

I did pass my diabetes test...yeah...I thought maybe I had that, it would explain the extra growth, but nope. I go in next week so we will see then what the doctor says to me about how fat I am. Probably something that I will find hormonally offensive. But, I digress. Third trimester is finally here...yeah!! Please go quickly!! Emily is moving a ton now as in I feel her limbs all the time. I have been craving oatmeal with vanilla creamer. I eat it almost every morning for breakfast. My back,and legs have been in pain. I am sure she is laying on nerves already. But, I got all her baby clothes out and will start washing and putting things away soon. I will say that I can't wait to get this girl outta me. I can't wait to see her. I also can't wait for my body to not be occupied by another human being for a while. I need a break. The end.

27 Weeks

Well this week has been fairly good. I got my first Braxton Hicks yesterday, which was incredibly painful, but nothing like real labor,so I was reminded of that happening. I am slowly getting Emily's room all ready. I still need to wash all the clothes and buy diapers and wipes. I feel like I am running out of time,and even though the weeks feel like they are dragging I know they are speeding by and I feel very unprepared, there is just to much to do to focus on baby things. I do feel Emily getting a very strict schedule inside of me. She is constantly moving at around 11:30 at night and 7:30 in the morning. She moves a lot less during the day probably because I am moving,so she falls asleep a lot. She is laying sideways with her head nestled in my ribs. I really can't believe I only have like 12 weeks left at the most...12 weeks! Here I am at 27 weeks 2 days
