33/34
Far along: 34 weeks, 4 days
How big are the babies: As of Friday, Baby A is 4 lbs., 12 oz. and Baby B is 5 lbs., 4 oz.
Total weight gain: ~38 total
Maternity clothes: I am so sick of my maternity clothes. I refuse to buy any news ones and most of what I have doesn't fit so I'm stuck with the same 5 items every week....
Sleep: Sunday night I got around 4 hours of sleep in a row! It was amazing!
Gender: Team Pink!
Movement: Still lots of movement! And lots of hiccups. It's the coolest thing ever.
Food cravings: None really right now.
What I miss: Sleep.
What I'm looking forward to: I'm really getting excited to see what they look like.
Milestones: We have an end date! If Baby A stays breech, we're scheduling a c-section for on or around Sept 24th. If she turns before then we'll just wait and see what happens. Either way, we're going to meet our babies by Sept 24th!
Symptoms: Tons of leg/feet/ankle swelling; generally uncomfortable; ligament pain; hip pain when I sleep; exhaustion.
Week 33....
Of course I can't remember. We had our weekly appt with Dr. R on Friday and an u/s. We didn't get any good pics of the girls bc they are so squished together. Both are measuring great though. That was likely our last u/s. It's too bad we got so few throughout this process.... 17 ultrasounds just isn't enough (sarcasm).

Weeks 31 & 32...

Total weight gain: ~32 total
Maternity clothes: All maternity pants. Still clinging to about 3 non-mat shirts
Sleep: What's sleep?
Gender: Team Pink!
Movement: They have been super active lately! I can tell they are both breech still by the way I'm being kicked pretty low and I can feel their heads up high pretty often.
Food cravings: Still ice cream. But I really need to watch my sugar intake.
What I miss: Sleep.
What I'm looking forward to: As cliche as it sounds- I look forward to every day they are still in me. I love being pregnant and am not ready for it to end.
Milestones: We are down to less than 60 days till our due date.
Symptoms: Swelling, exhaustion, back pain
31 week update...
Week 31 is a total blur. I really can't remember what happened. I did get to hang out with little Foster and his mommy on Friday night, so that was fun!! He's so cuddly and adorable! It's hard to believe that very soon, I'll have two little outsides babies to squish and love on!!

My last baby shower was this week. Chris' family through it and did such a great job! The games were so fun and it was wonderful to see everyone! We are so appreciative of all that everyone has done for us throughout this pregnancy!! [pictures to come]
It's hard to believe that all my showers are done.... We got EVERYTHING we could have hoped for and so much more! Now it's all down to organizing things and returning duplicates.
Week 29 update:
We saw the dr. and everything looks great! Both babies are breech, but my doc is not worried yet. We also found out they're 2.5 and 3 lbs. I had my 1 hr glucose test only to be told that my labs were mixed up with someone else's and I had to re-take it..... only to find out I failed it and had to go in for the 3 hr. test... sigh. All is well, it was just a lot of waiting in waiting rooms.
Also, my amazing friends Mary and Jessica and my wonderful Mother in Law through me a work baby shower! I bawled at it! Mary had a speech prepared for me and made the most amazing book, ever! It had family pictures from coworkers and family/parenting advice. It was so thoughtful and heartfelt and we will cherish it forever! I am continually blown away by how remarkable the people in my life are...
