34 weeks pregnant and officially lopsided! :)

I saw this on a friends blog and though...why not? So here are some preggo updates on little Zoe & Nora

How far along? 34 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain: not sure.....I don't look! But I think almost 50 pounds...wow!

Maternity clothes: I love my maternity clothes. I actually went and got some really cute spring maternity clothes and then got put on bed rest and don't get to wear them. It actually makes me really sad....sporting the big preggo belly was so fun and it got cut a month short!

Stretch marks: I have a few, not too bad at all. We still have some time left though so I'm cautiously optimistic!

Sleep: Oh my. Sleep is not great. I can't really lay flat anymore unless I haven't eaten in at least 5-6 hours because of heartburn. Turning is really very difficult too! However, I have developed a new "sliding" method for turning over at night which consists of a lot less drama! But generally I wake up about every hour with heartburn, drink some milk, take some TUMS and then can go back to sleep until the next hour when it starts over again. Fun fun! But since I'm on bed rest it doesn't matter too much since I can sleep during the day. But I am SO excited about being able to sleep "un"pregnant soon!!

Best moment this week: Wednesday doctors appointment when we got to see our little girls! They looked perfect and it made me very happy! Plus, the doctor is my only outing each week so I really look forward to being able to walk around and get out of the house for a few hours!

Miss Anything: Sleeping, eating, exercising, and just being able to move around with ease. Worth every second no doubt....but it's gotten a little bit hard. Probably made a bit worse by being forced to sit all day. But this to shall pass and we will have TWO baby girls!!

Movement: Yes....these two love to squirm around. Nora's little head is literally up in my right rib cage and it wiggles around all day!

Food cravings: I've been craving sweets lately, but food has unfortunately lost it's appeal all together. Its really hard for me to keep anything down and the heartburn following meals is just too bad.

Symptoms: Each month has brought it own little challenge but aside from the heartburn thing....it's be wonderful!!!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy I would say. I feel like a broken record....but aside from all the throwing up that comes from eating now....I'm just so happy and excited!!

Have you started to show yet: haha....I'd say so!

Looking forward to: seeing the girls faces!!! I really CANNOT wait!!!

In other general preggo updates, the girls are looking great! Since I am being monitored for preeclampsia we go in every week for non stress tests and ultrasounds to make sure the girls are doing ok and to make sure my blood pressure is still ok. So far so good. However, 37 weeks is the absolute longest we will be. So we won't be pregnant for any longer than about 2 weeks from now. But hopefully we make it to 37! At exactly 34 weeks we got to see them both breathing and everything looked great. They estimated them to weight 5lb10oz and 6lb2oz which seemed huge to me for 34 weeks. Especially since hypertension in pregnancy often results in low birth weight (so they told me). But I guess that's good because if we make it to 37 weeks they should be a good size!!

Anyway. Looking so forward to saying goodbye to pregnancy and hello to our little munchkins!! It still feels SO far away!! I know two weeks isn't far...but it seems like I couldn't stretch another ounce. But I'm sure I can!

For those of you who think I look "small" it's because you have only seen pics from the side. But it's actually huge when you look straight on! Both girls are transverse meaning both heads are over by my right rib cage and stretch across my body and I am TOTALLY lopsided! It's really funny/extremely uncomfortable! :)

These pics represent my days right now. You will find me sitting on the couch. Chilling. Counting down the days! And please take not of the lopsided belly!
