The doctors office called this morning and I passed my glucose test.....yea!! My levels were 119. From what I have read anything over 140 would require me to take the 3 hour test.
My Iron was a tad bit low at 11.8 but not bad. The nurse said my doctor wants me to start taking extra Iron just because I'm carrying twins so I started that this morning.
I also feel like the girls have grown more because there is a HUGE difference in their movment during this past week. Their moments are so strong....sometimes painful and I can see their body parts push out. They were not like this a week ago.
This past week is also the week I noticed more discomfort than when I was pregnant with Cassie. With Cass I had no discomfort at all but this week I have become aware of it. Having 2 babies push and punch inside of me is insane. At night I am so tired and it is a chore to get off the couch, I really have to take my time. My back hurts by the end of the day. Turing over in bed is a challenge. But I'm loving it. Being pregnant again, carrying 2 babies is such a blessing, these weeks are flying by and before I know it these girls will be here.
I just want to tell you how fun twin baby girls are! It will break your bank account with all the cute stuff out there times 2! But so rewarding! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable!! So sorry to hear about your recent discomfort though..know you do feel blessed and are thankful:) but I think it's okay to talk about that kind of stuff sometimes - pregnancy can be physically challenging, and I can imagine that much more so with more than one baby in there! Will be praying for your discomfort to lessen (or at least stay steady;)) in the coming weeks.
