Week 28
Week 29
I had my 28 week sonogram 3 days after our 3d/4d viewing party. Like before, it was a little anti-climatic since we just saw the girls, but it is awesome to see them so much. I was hoping the appointment would go by fast, but alas, it again took about 2 hrs. I don’t know what it is about this place, but they just always seem to take so long.
The girls were doing well, slightly more active than 3 days prior, but still kinda chillin. The technician tried to get some 3d pictures of them, but they were definitely not having any of that. As of that appointment, on September 23, the girls were measuring 2lbs 7oz and 2lbs 9 oz. I’m sure by now they’re over the 3lb mark. Pretty amazing!
I had my 29 week ultrasound appointment a week later. This is the short appointment where they just check the heartbeat and all my vitals. Baby B had a faster heartbeat then her sister, per usual. The doctor asked if she was more active than her sister and I said oh yes. Originally I figured I felt Baby B more than Baby A because Baby A was faced toward my back. But at the sonogram appointment the week prior, both girls were facing forwards, head down. So I guess Baby A is just more chill. I was talking to a friend of mine and he said his children mimicked how they were in the womb. So if that’s the case, then Bruno can take on crazy active Baby B, and I’ll look after calm Baby A. Haha.
The doctor measured my stomach, which is a typically practice for mothers with 1 baby, since they don’t get as many sonograms covered as I do with twins. So to check the growth of the baby, the doctor measures how big the stomach is. My doctors have been doing this, just to give me and them a gage of my growth comparatively. So at 29 weeks, I was measuring the same as someone who was 35 weeks along. Can you believe it?? No wonder people have been asking me if I’m about to give birth! But it’s where I’m supposed to be.
As of now (at week 30), I have gained 35 lbs. I don’t feel like it… which is good. Haha. But I envision that at the very least, I will reach the 45lb mark by the time this is done. So crazy to think that.
Bruno said to me the other night, “I wish our babies were here now!”
“No you don’t. Because then we wouldn’t be getting any sleep!”
Yes, we are very anxious to meet our little girls, and get on with our new life. But at the same time, we are so scared, and so nervous. I know we’ll survive, obviously, and figure it out. I even told Bruno that a girl on Teen Mom had twins and if she could do it, we could do it. But for now, it is a little scary… I’m glad my friend is having her baby first so she can figure out what to do and tell me all her secrets!
