We are getting so close! I’ve had a lot of swelling this week, which led to a trip to labor & delivery. Don’t worry, everything is good & babies look great! Just when I feel like my body can’t possibly get any bigger...it surprises me!
I know I have said this before, but it really is getting hard to do anything. Getting out of bed, bending down, getting dressed, going to the bathroom...😳 the list goes on & on.
I haven’t done much this week due to the fact that I’m still recovering from a cold plus my swelling has been increasing & I’m trying to stay off of my feet. But, I have managed to get some housework done (slowly) & started packing our hospital bags.
How far along: 31 weeks
Genders: BOYS
Total weight gain: Holy swelling! The scale is not my friend.
Maternity clothes: I’ve been living in this cute maternity/nursing robe until I pack it away in my hospital bag.
Stretch marks: Still none
Sleep: 🤬😤😖 you can tell how exhausted I am in those pictures!
Best moment this week: Watching Hocus Pocus with Sean…hey it’s the little things. And listening to their heartbeats.
Worst moment this week: Nothing specific...just things in general making me uncomfortable including: rib pain, round ligament pain, pain in my knees from swelling...the list goes on. This week has definitely been the toughest as far as being uncomfortable.
Movement: Still feel them rolling away in there! Early in the week, we borrowed two dopplers & were able to listen to their heartbeats at the same time 💙💙 they were both in sync! Then, when we went to L&D yesterday we got to hear them again!
Cravings: No cravings
Queasy or sick: No nausea, thank goodness. Just acid reflux/heartburn.
Labor signs: I don’t think so?
Belly button in or out: Definitely out
Wedding rings on or off: Off. I tried to put my wedding ring on the other day and couldn’t even get it to the knuckle 😭 Hoping I will be able to get it on again without getting it resized.
Happy or moody: Both. Tired, excited, uncomfortable...emotions are everywhere! Growing babies is hard.
Looking forward to: Baby boys being here 😜
