So we are approaching 23 weeks here on Thursday! I honestly wonder where the time has went! I am starting to feel the subtle effects of carrying two babies. My back has been sore and I can't do much bending, and if I do I suffer because of it. So just some minor limitations, other than that I have been feeling great! Energy levels are different everyday, I find that if I wake up and just lay in bed for 15 or 20 minutes I just have more energy. Its kind of my time where I talk to the babes and wait for them to wake up, then we stumble out to the kitchen and turn on the kettle, get the bagel in the toaster and get ready for our daily breakfast which consists of a bagel smothered in honey and peanut butter, a big glass of milk and a cup of black tea. Its really the breakfast of champions! It crossed my mind today that I might never drink coffee again, but then I realized that that is just a silly thought! So at this point in the game we currently have one crib set up, the girls' room is painted, the wall decals have been ordered, and the stroller was put together by yours truly. It doesn't really feel like a lot, but I am so glad that there is some progress! Honestly, it is so hard to get motivation to really do anything in the house when it has been so gorgeous outside! Would you all hate me if I hoped for a rainy day?
The babies seem to be growing by the looks of my ever changing body and they are currently fighting for limited space. I honestly love just feeling the little nudges and pokes and twirls that they are doing inside. I can usually tell which baby is moving now and its pretty incredible! So the next couple of weeks will consist of a diabetes test and at the beginning of June I meet with the OB to see how he feels about how everything is going. The last doctor felt I would likely make it no further than 36 weeks because of the size of me and the size of babies, but the body is a glorious machine (or should I say the uterus)? I am just really enjoying this pregnancy. It really brings out the best in me I think.
Ahhh an important note! We met with our doula last night, and I am really excited that she will be a part of our birth! Its just so important to me (us) to have the right support system in place at the hospital. When we bring the girls home we will have grandma's to look forward to, sometimes I just feel like I have no idea how to mother, but I am sure those animal instincts will kick right in.
Well folks, I hope you are all having a fabulous Spring! We will do better to update this little blog...
xoxo
