..31 weeks..


Goodness gracious.. I have loved being pregnant with twins for the most part. There is just something about the thought of have two little bodies growing and developing inside of me. They are more active these days. They are constantly awake and now get hiccups almost daily.
I've discovered that when I lay down these babies can make my belly the most awkward shape. Their little kicks have now turned into full on body rolls. I love to just sit back and stare at my belly.. who knew it would be so entertaining.
Physically.. I am tired, I can't stand or sit in one place for very long.. (NO lines PleAsE!) I still go for daily walks and do prenatal yoga a couple times a week. However, my activity last no longer then 30 minutes. I am experiencing braxton hicks contractions and a lot of pelvic pressure.
I'am continuing to work at the dental office part time.. I love it there but beginning to realize how useless I can be sometimes.. I have worked there for 7 years and have an amazing boss and have made so many great friends. I hope their not to sick of me yet..Its been really hard for me to watch myself slow down and not quite up to the pace of the office. I feel like most of my responsiblities are being overtaken.. understandably, but I miss it already. I plan to go back to work at least one day week or more if possible. Just for my sanity..
SLEEP..I had a dream a few nights ago about getting a epidural.. and I woke up and my legs were numb! they had fallen asleep.. I really try to sleep on my left side like your supposed to for circulation..With umm.. about six pillows.. but somehow, I always end up on my back, which cuts of blood flow to my legs.. so I actually end up switching positions several times at night.
APPEARANCE.. I'm big. yep.. No stretch marks on my belly yet!! woot woot! thank you good genes and bio oil.. wish i could say the same about my bum.. On the other hand.. I have NEVER been this WHITE in my life.. its ghostly.. now that our pool is open, I'll try to get a little bit of sun.
DADDY.. is amazing.. he is going to be a great dad! He is so excited to meet his babies. He loves to feel them move and even talks to them sometimes. He is in school this semester and with finals the first week of August and the babies due the end July. Lets hope they stay in long enough that he can get some studying in before the sleepless nights come.
