You aren't that big!!

The worst thing to say to a pregnant woman is "You aren't that big!". I sometimes want to say how about you carry these babies for a little bit. I may feel bigger than I am but you feel like they are discounting what you are going through. It doesn't make me mad but it does get old hearing it constantly. An alternative to say is "You look good for being that far with twins".On another note I have had a cough for 2 weeks that just kept progressing so I went to the clinic yesterday and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. I got antibiotics and a nose spray and hopefully that will help this go away. I also went to get an ultrasound today to check the growth of the babies. They are both almost 4.5 lbs and growing well. I am now 32 weeks and the doctor told me we won't worry about their position until around this time. Well baby A has to be head down to attempt a natural delivery. She is on the left with her head in my ribs so she is not cooperating. As of right now we would have to do a c-section she can still turn but with each day the chances get smaller. Next week I see the doctor and we will discuss the options. I was asked by the parents do you have a preference to having a natural or c-section. My answer was there are pros and cons to both and so at this point which ever is best for me and the babies is the way I would prefer. I really don't care one way or the other I just want it to be safe and result in two healthy babies and for me to be healthy also. We are counting down and there is only 6 more weeks until I am 38 weeks and the doctor wants to deliver the babies! It really is going fast but I am loving the experience.

Appointments

Last week I had an ultrasound and doctor's appointment. In the ultrasound they determined that baby a is 2lbs 8oz and b is 2lbs 10oz. They are both doing good growing well and seem to be right on track. That was on Monday and the babies were both head down toward my right hip. Both of their heads were together. On Wednesday I went to see the doctor and determined my blood sugars are good as with everything else. He did an ultrasound to do a quick check on them. Well they moved and are now heads up toward my ribs. He is not concerned about it yet he said we will see in a month or so. We are hoping that they turn head down so we can do a natural delivery. I also reconfirmed that if I make it to 38 weeks they want to induce me so that means we are to the single digits in weeks. I will not be pregnant anymore in about 9 weeks! It is exciting and I can't wait!
