33 Weeks Pregnant

7 weeks since my last post!!!     

I'm just so busy....ahem with the twins.   They keep me SO, SO, SO busy.  I am exhausted physically and mentally at the end of the day.   I'm sure part of it is the pregnancy.   My body hurts, I can rarely rest and walking up the stairs?  Forget it....I have no lung capacity left to breath.

My weight is now at 145, that's a total gain of 25 pounds so far.   Blood Pressure has been good ,although at my last appointment I noticed it rising.  It was still in the "good" range but higher that I have seen it.  At my last appointment I measured right on at 32 weeks. 

33 weeks and 2 days

 I am ready to meet my baby boy....its so exciting.  I'm looking forward to having a newborn again, the only thing I am not looking forward to is the night feedings/less sleep.   Hopefully he goes easy on me since I just got over carrying for newborn twins and is a good sleeper/eater.  

On the twin front.....
Mandy and Emily will be 19 months old in 4 days!!   Mandy is my big whiner.   Seriously, some days she drives me insane!!!!    Everything is whining.   She wants water, she wants to watch Micky Mouse (which she is addicted to), its all requested while crying.   Hopefully she grows out of that soon otherwise I may check into the nutty bin myself.  Emily is more laid back during the day than Mandy but at night she is still putting up a fuss going to bed.   We let her cry and eventually she goes to sleep.   I am wondering if she is popping some teeth now because she has been waking up multiple times a night crying which is unlike her.   She is a hard one....because if you go in the bedroom to console her it makes matters worse.   She will cry/scream harder when we leave.  So we try to stay out and let her just cry it out.  Mandy is a champ and ignores her sisters screaming.  

They go to bed at 7 and sleep till 7:00.   I remember thinking I would never sleep again with twins and it is so nice that I was proven wrong.  

Cassie is doing good.  She actually has a cold today so we didn't go to our usual story time today.   We finished her handwriting lessons today...all done for the year.  Just have to Finnish up Math, I'm hoping we get that done before baby boy arrives.

Ultrasound at 26 weeks

I had a follow up ultrasound last week to check on the status of my placenta previa.  Happy to say it has moved and is no longer an issue!!!   They did a growth scan while they were at it and baby boy was weighing in at 2lbs. 

On Saturday we decided to get baby boys room ready which meant moving Emilys crib into Mandys room and converting Cassies bed frame back to a crib.   Cassies mattress is currently on her floor now until we buy a new frame.   It actually looks really cute to have the twins in the same room again.   Their first nap together did not go so well.  There was 30 min of laughing and giggling which is totally fine and oh so cute.   But Emily woke up 30 min into her nap which woke up Mandy and ....naps went down the tube.  Night time worked out perfectly.  Emily cried for about 10 min but it never bothered Mandy and they slept from 7-7.    I am so happy and relieved that this is going to work out because it was my biggest concern when I found out I was pregnant again.   Nap time we will still separate them but that is no big deal at all. 

Baby boy is really starting to move around.  We can clearly see him moving from the outside and he is becoming pretty strong.   I can really feel his little feet and hands kicking and pushing.      As for names.....we have no clue.  We can not agree on one.   Boy names are a lot harder than girl names.      This baby may not have a name until he is born and in our arms.  

My 3 kids.....soon to be 4!!
