Week 32!
How far along? 32 weeks!
Weight Gain? I haven't actually really gained much (maybe 3 or 4 pounds) since Fall Festival started. Doc says I need to gain more, while not over-indulging in carbs. So basically, I can't gain weight from Cinnabons? Damn.
Stretch Marks? Not too bad.
Sleep? I wake up every 90 minutes or so now.
Sickness? It's been many, many weeks. I'm not even nauseous.
Movement? Baby B (who was Baby A for most of the pregnancy... right side baby!) is insane and moves a LOT. Baby A will respond to me nudging on him, but he's pretty quiet.
What I miss? Not itching. PUPPS started at 28 weeks. I had to go to the ER when I was almost to 30 weeks. Prednisone cleared it up for the most part, but I've still got some spots that itch. I'm thinking Polyester is irritating it now, because I can just stand in a room naked (no, not even lay down or sit, because of the fabrics I'm sitting/laying on) and be totally content. TMI? Maybe.
Food cravings? Surprisingly NOT desperately missing Fall Festival food, just the unlimited access to prepared food. I'm really, really loving potatoes now. Potato Soup. Mashed Potatoes. French Fries.
Food aversions? Nothing, really. I could probably even eat pineapple, squash and grilled chicken at this point, but I don't want to risk it...
What I’m looking forward to: Their arrival! I'm starting to feel ready.
Mood? Pretty good, but I don't think I ever want to be pregnant again. I keep hearing about this hormone that erases all the bad things, but it's a little hellish (and I've had a relatively easy pregnancy) and I want to remember that it was a little hellish and there's some awesome kids (not babies, kids) out there who need to be adopted!
Milestones? Baby showers! At this point, the only big things we need/really want are cribs (which can wait...but we have the mattresses!), and a glider. Still need a handful of little things, but I'm feeling way better!
Things I wish people knew: I'm fine. I know, I don't look like I'm having twins, but I sure as hell feel like it. If this was my second pregnancy, I'd be way, way bigger.
