Today I am 29 weeks! Each week is great to hit. I only have 7 weeks to go (and maybe a couple days). We are just shooting for 36 weeks and if things go well, I could go a few extra days, but no more than 37 weeks total. I didn't update 2 weeks ago when I went to the MFM so I will give the stats from 27 weeks before today's stats.
27 weeks: Baby A 1 lb 13 oz, Baby B 2 lb 5 oz. 8 oz difference between the two babies which the doc said was a 29.5% discordance in weight. Everything else looked good.
29 weeks: Baby A 2 lbs 4 oz, Baby B 3 lbs 1oz. 13 oz difference, 23% discordance in weight. Blood flow looks good between the two babies. Baby A has about 6cm of fluid around him and Baby B has 11 cm (which above 8 cm is too much). The doctor isn't worried about this much fluid since the biggest pocket of it seems to be in one area and the blood flow, bladder, and everything else looks good. I know with my other kids that when my water broke the comment has been made that I had a lot of fluid, so maybe that is how my body makes babies.
I am feeling the weight of the babies more and can feel them on my sides in my ribs when I lay down and I think I have run out of room in the front under my ribs. It's all going out from here. Putting on socks and shoes and pants is a hard task and I sometimes have to ask for help if I'm in a hurry. So funny to see the kids try to put on my socks for me. Sleeping is no fun and I'm sure it's going to get worse. I can't sleep more than 2-3 hours without having to go to the bathroom. Usually its 2 hours on the dot that I wake up. I can't eat within an hour of laying down because it all feels like it is coming back up in my throat. It doesn't hurt, just feels like a pitcher that is being poured slowly out (coming up my throat). I can't move my hips when I am in bed. Feels weird being able to reposition all other body parts, but my hips can't move no matter what I try to do. I've pulled on my pj's/clothes to move them.
This is my 29 week picture! Last week at my regular OB appt when I was 28 weeks, my belly measured 36 weeks. I think its grown a lot since then too. I have only gained 25-26 lbs so far. Not bad for me and for having twins!
Since we have been "snowed in", it has been extra nice to sleep in and not have to rush off anywhere. I've loved it and I think heavenly father gave us that snow storm for me. It helped me get through another week! Lynar has been home and "working from home" so it has been extra nice. Almost like a free vacation week....well, sort of. He has done some work, but it's just nice to have him around.
