Growing two little people is exhausting! Did you know that? I didn't. I've been finding it very hard to keep my eyes open lately. I sleep during the day and at night and I have the nerves to be a little moody when I have to get up to eat. Its like I can't get enough rest. I never knew I could nap so much.... its a bit embarrassing really but I can't help it. Trust me, I tried.
This of course should explain my lack of comments on your blogs but its not necessarily the reason. I find it very uncomfortable to sit in the chair by the computer so I tend to follow you guys on my phone... I just can't comment. But I am reading, I promise!
Now that I'm done with my excuses, I'll move on to my doctor's appointments....
Yesterday I went to my OB and I finally had my first internal (about time!) Everything was good, my cervix is still way up in there and I'm not dilating yet. My anxiety is already much better knowing this.... Blood pressure and weight gain are also both good and the OB was happy with my progress. She said that from now on I should have no problems if I go into labor. Music to my ears!
Today I went to the Peri and the babies are also doing fine. Baby girl weighs 5lbs10oz and baby boy weighs 5lbs8oz. And, AND, AND they are both heads down! It was cute to see their little heads together, I just loved it. When I was there 3 weeks ago, I was told that after this ultrasound they would start monitoring the babies once or twice a week depending on how they are doing... WELL... no need for that, they actually will be seeing me next whenever I come in to give birth (my Peri is at the hospital). They are very happy with the babies progress. Oh, we were able to see baby girl's lungs "breathing" in there, it was so cool. We didn't get to see baby boy's but that's because they are very cramped in there. This doctor also told me that from now on everything should be fine if I go into labor, even more music to my ears! I'm so proud of my babies.
And now I'll leave you with my 34 weeks and 35 weeks belly pics....

Yay Shanny! All great news. Their weights are perfect and you sleep all you need to sleep, its working out for the babies. If you were walking around and keeping busy the news might not have been so wonderful. I'm not trying to be negative but for twins you are doing fantastic!

ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome, AWESOME update! I can't believe they could be here anytime now! WooHoo!! Good growing Mommy (and babies)! :D
ReplyDeleteSleep girl, I know how exhausted I was when I was pregnant with my daughter I can't even imagine how you must be feeling with 2 babies. When they are here you are going to miss these sleeping days all I can say is enjoy it while you can.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they are both heads down, I hope they don't flip back so you can have the chance to deliver naturally, good weights too!
Shanny this is great!
ReplyDeleteAll good news, good job to the babies and good job to the mommy :) I'm glad to read you haven't dilated so far, that's incredible but it shows you have been taking good care of yourself.
