Whining and BB.11

Well I'll be 34w as of tomorrow and I want these babies out!!! I had no idea how uncomfortable the last few weeks could be. The simplest things are starting to become major chores. Like sitting up in bed. My wrists and hands are constantly sore or asleep so I have a hard time using them to prop myself up. My back gets very sore, my knees feel like they're going to collapse, and I swell up from the knee down after only a trip to the bathroom! Ugh. Ok, enough whining. Just didn't know it could get this bad. And major kudos to Gretch for being 10 days ahead of me and still going into work! I don't know how she does it.

Damn Big Bro.th.er is killing me! I'm completely obsessed. Every night they have a live feed on Sh.o.t.ime 2 called B.ig .Bro.th.er A.f.te.r Da.rk. It's on from 11pm - 2am. I can't not watch it. This is the first season that DH and I have watched on request from his aunt. I try to close my eyes but I still listen and end up watching the whole thing. I always know who wins what days in advance because they all talk about it. And it makes me have totally different opinions about the cast because I see them all raw. Last night I even had a dream about it. It was absolutely ridiculous. Any other B.B11 fans out there???

Now back to bed!

Family Blog Update & New Pic

Just updated my family blog if anyone wants to see a new pic.

I knew it!

So I was right with my concerns about my last u/s. The tech was a dumbass. Baby girl is not measuring 2w ahead. She measured 32w3d and baby boy measured 32w5d at my u/s on friday. I was 32w3d. All that worrying for nothing! I didn't really worry too much, but come on people! It's your job to measure babies via u/s! Not mine. Get it together! He is still breech though and now she's transverse. Hopefully they have enough room in there to move where they need to be. I still want to avoid the c/s if possible but I'm becoming more and more open to it. Whatever is best for the babies. DH really likes the idea of the c/s. Of course he does! He's not the one who has to go under the knife! I don't think he wants to go through the whole laboring process if possible and to be able to schedule the c/s so we can schedule visitors a little better. Both ways have their benefits. It's out of my hands for now.

We went to our childbirth prep class yesterday. So long! But we're both glad we went. Took a tour of the maternity ward and got lots of answers to my questions. A pediatrician came to talk to us as well. That was pretty informative. I liked learning about my hossy's rules and regs too. How many ppl can be in the room, how long the average stay is, how to pre-register, what they provide while you're there and what they don't, etc. Just a few less things to worry about. DH learned a lot too so that's good. Cuz he doesn't always believe things I tell him for some reason. I recommend to anyone considering not going to a class to possibly reconsider. It was very beneficial for us.

I plan on cooking these monkeys for about another 5 weeks or so but it's starting to sink in that they can come any day now. We're pretty much ready so whenever they are, it's go time.

BIG Congrats to Margriet on her BFP! I couldn't be happier for you girl!

Little Update

APO on PAIF

Hey all, just wanted to give an update on my twinkies. I had my 30w u/s yesterday. Baby Boy (Baby A) was still breech. He's been breech in every single u/s I've had. He still has time to flip but if he doesn't we're looking at a c-section. Something else that's stacked against me having a vaginal birth is my sweet, BIG, baby girl! She is measuring 2 weeks ahead! 2 weeks! I have no idea where that came from. I'm actually not sure how much faith I'm putting in these measurements to be honest. It was a brand new u/s machine and the tech didn't know exactly what she was doing either. Anyway, if she continues to be bigger than him then we will have to do a c/s for that reason as well. Because he is the lower of the 2 and "paves the way" for his sister. So more complications could arise since she's bigger. If that makes sense. Right now we're hoping for him to flip and for her to slow down a little with her growing. Baby boy is spot on at 30w2d so he's not small by any means. She's just growing like a weed all of a sudden. We'll know more at the next u/s in another 4 weeks. So now we wait.

Updates

• First off, my little nephew went home on Saturday. He's back up to his birth weight and eating and breathing on his own now. So thanks for all of the prayers ladies.
  
• I had my 2 baby showers this weekend. One saturday and one sunday. People really do love to give baby clothes as gifts. I didn't get over half the stuff on my registry. I did get some gift cards though so I'm working on making those work for what I have left. I was really bummin cuz I didn't get either one of my crib bedding sets. They were $150 a piece at bru. It took me FOREVER to find 2 crib sets I liked for a reasonable price that were at a place where I could register. Not to mention one boy and one girl themed set that looked good together! I had found 2 that I really liked right away but DH hated. Well none of it even mattered since I didn't get them! Well tonight DH found them online for $98 a piece and went ahead and bought them. He made my day!
• I'm officially on bed rest and loving it! Last Wednesday DH and I spent the day in the ER. He hurt his foot jumping out of our boat while it was on the trailer. Had a severe heel bruise. I had chest pains and ended up being diagnosed with a chest wall strain. I was glad it's not my heart or lungs but I'm still dealing with the pain. So we've been a hot mess for a couple for the last few days. He's getting better now so I won't have to as much for him which is nice. I just need to figure out how to cure my pain. Doesn't necessarily hurt just very uncomfortable all the time. The bed rest is helping.
• 30 weeks tomorrow! Time is winding down. I can't believe how fast it has all gone. I want to say a big THANK YOU to Margriet! She sent me the most adorable little g.ap outfits for the babies. I totally teared up when I opened the pkg. So thank you, thank you! It still amazes me how you can be such good friends with someone you've never even met!
