35 weeks!

Hello my fellow

mommies,

I know its been a while but I am just so stinking tired. We are now 35 weeks along! Samuel is 5lbs 9oz as of two weeks ago and Samantha is 4 lbs 13 ozs. We go in this Thursday for another ultra-sound, so hopefully Samantha has caught up to her brother. I am so uncomfortable and my belly button hurts that I will be shocked if by the time we do the c-section these babies aren't at least 6lbs or more.

The c-section is November 4th at 1230 pm. I am pretty much nervous and ready at the same time. I told my hubby that we only have three weeks left of "just us". That makes me a bit sad. But we are both ready. We have been together ten years and we still have a life time ahead of us.

The nursery is ready, I am still working on a will which creeps me the hell out to be honest but I know we need one. And this week is the hunt for our pediatrician.

I am pretty much not sleeping at all. I think my bed is too soft because I literally want to cry when I turn over due to the heaviness of my ever expanding belly. And then I just have to get up after that pain to pee. UGH! Last night as I sat on my toilet sorry TMI I was bargaining with God and telling him how finished I am. Like he will take my pleas into consideration, fat chance. So tonight much to my dismay I am going to try and fall asleep on my couch.

Bedrest

Hello peeps,
So yesterday I was having a sharp pain on my left side near my ribs. I also was having some weird discharge. So I went to see my doctor. She thinks its Samuel who has no where else to go and he is pushing on my ribs. So that is that, and she did a pap smear and she checked my cervix which is highly uncomfortable btw. She said my cervix has thinned some. So I am on bedrest, or at least just rest. I am not on strict rest but no sex and no craziness. So here I am resting. It is so nice to be able to lie down whenever I want, which is a lot. LOL. Few more days and we are in the 28th week!!! Yeah!

Miserable

I am feeling highly conflicted right now. The reasoning being is that I am so uncomfortable and tired that I am miserable. Now I know this sounds ungrateful, I am finally pregnant life should be great. Well until you are actually pregnant and with twins I don’t think you should say a word. I am eating my own words now that I am these two things. I was always so envious of anyone pregnant before I got pregnant. This is life baby; pregnancy is not easy by any means.
I just feel bad that when my co-workers ask me how are you feeling I usually feel bad. So I am just going to lie and act like I am feeling fine. Maybe that will trick my body into being good? Just a thought. Well that’s that for today.
TTYL!

27 weeks!

Hello again bloggy world,
I am now 27 weeks this week. What a mile stone! I still can’t believe I will be hitting my third trimester next week. We are almost done cooking here!
Samuel and Samantha are doing well. They are each at least two pounds and around 14 inches long. They are growing at the same speed so that is good news.
We have lots of movement and lots of uncomfortablness. But I know it just comes with the territory.
I am back at work from being off for two months. And let me tell you it is no joke! My body is so resistant to everything I do its unreal. My back is tight, my tummy even tighter, and my allergies decided to act up. I guess they were jealous they weren’t getting attention. UGH!
Anyway I am getting big! It’s so neat to see my big belly every morning. It just reminds me that our 3 year journey was well worth it. If only I had known that then. LOL!
I do have some friends on my tummy now. I don’t really want to call them friends but they are hanging out with me every day so….stretch marks are here and here to stay! They are super red and long. Just on the front of my tummy. So I am using lotion like crazy to prevent anymore and to prevent them from doing any more damage.
The hubby and I go to the doctor September 8th and we have an ultra-sound September 6th. I will be around 30 weeks then. My doctor wants to put me on bed rest, so she wants to see how I am when we go see her.
I partly wouldn’t mind going on bed rest, just because I am so stinking tired. But then I would get paid disability and get paid very little. But oh well, it’s not my choice so time will tell. I hope everyone is doing well. TTYL!

Hey guys, sorry its been so long!

Hey ladies!

I am so sorry I havent been on here in forever. I wanted to update everyone on our pregnancy and I need some advice.

So we are going into our 6th month. That is a wonderful thing alone. We are having a boy and a girl. Samuel and Samantha. I know, the names are so similar. We tried so hard to choose a different name for the girl but we just love it too much. These two babies are super active,which is great.

BUT.....Samantha is on my right side and she is sideways I think and tucked under my ribs. Does anyone have adivice other then pushing her down to get her out from under there?

Samuel is a good boy, he kicks me and sometimes hurts me when he shifts but he steers clear from my ribs. Thank God!

My hubby and I have been going in regularly for appointments, and my doctor told me I could end up on bed rest. I get lots of tightening in my lower abdomen which makes it hard to walk, she said they are the ligaments. I have rested with water when I have too many. But now she is concerned they could be contractions and to watch it. If I have more then 6 in one hour and after rest and water they dont go away to call her. So I am keeping an eye on that.

I go back to work on the 16th, I am not super thrilled about it. Especially when all summer its been baby,baby stuff. Oh yeah we had our baby shower it was so great. I will attach some pics.


Thanks ladies, I am now going to see how everyone else is doing on here. Thanks for reading my looooong post. I also will attach my ultra sound pics when I get them tomorrow.

Lots of love!

Appendix out and my baby shower

So it has been a very interesting couple of days. My hubby and I were celebrating our bdays at my moms with friends and family when he started feeling bad this past Saturday. He said his stomach hurt and that he just wanted to rest. So he did and later he came out for cake and presents. We went home and went to bed. But throughout the night he complained of pain on his right side. I knew that it must be his appendix. So the next morning, much to my prodding we went to the hospital where after and ultra-sound we saw it was indeed an inflammed appendix. Many hours later he went into surgery. Needless to say I was very nervous. 45 mins after he went in he was out and very drugged up. I felt so sorry for him. We went home 24 hours later and he is so much better. Just a bit sore but feeling good.
Now in a couple of days we are having my baby shower the baby shower is on my actual bday. Now tell me am I totally selfish if I want people to show up to my baby shower? What does that say about me? I guess it says that I hope I have been a nice enough friend and that people like me.....and of course gifts for twins is nice. Anyway I was looking at our baby registry and there are at least 10-15 items purchased and I just want to see if this means people are showing up. The other good thing is now my hubby is going to the baby shower. He was going to work that day, I didnt want him to be overwhelmed by women and baby stuff so we had decided he wouldnt come till later. But at least his being there will make me feel special.
Anywho the babies have names now.....Samual and Samantha. I know they are so similar and trust me we have tried to figure out other names, but we just love these names. So at least that is figured out. Lots of kicking lately and we are in our 23rd week. I am already uncomfortable, sore back and I go a bit more slowly these days.
I go back to work in three weeks, not excited about it. But it will give me something to do until babies are here and then I will never know what time is again.
I go into the doctor next week then two weeks later we do our glucose test. The hubby and I are going in for an ultra-sound on the 8th. Always excited to see the babies.
So until later TTYL!

22 weeks and Braxton Hicks and Gender!

We are now in the 22nd week. I have been having loads of Braxton Hicks contractions, so my doctor said I need to hydrate and rest. So I have. I go to the doctor tomorrow for a regular check up. Oh and we are having a boy and a girl!!!
Now we have to figure out names. Here are their pics. Baby A is on the left and this is the girl and baby B is on the right which is the boy.
Hope everyone one is doing well.
Also I have some jewelry for sale on Etsy. My shop is Katsjewelry2 check me out!
