Hey all.
I'm doing pretty well in that everything inside is good, everyone's the right size, and my body is holding up really well. We had a mostly fine holiday, from which we returned last night. I am done with traveling of almost every kind until the boys arrive. I'm working from home exclusively now (though I will go in to work the odd afternoon if I have other plans in the city around the same time; the key is there will be no more rush-hour subway rides).
I'm 30 weeks along today. Which means that size-wise, it's like I'm 36-38 weeks (almost to term) with one baby. Eating a decent amount is starting to become really really hard. I don't have a lot of room in there. I think I'm going to start having smoothies a lot to get calories in; hopefully that will make it easier to eat without feeling nauseous after (and before for that matter, as during pregnancy I tend to get nauseous when hungry).
Today I managed to go grocery shopping by myself without help (other than Mr. Radio unloading the non-perishables when he got home). This was made possible by being able to bring a bubbie bin with me to the grocery (and hanging it on the hooks on the front of the shopping cart), having perishables put in a big tote bag hung on the handles of the bubbie bin when I paid (so I would be able to put these away myself without bending over), and living in a building with a stair-free back entrance and an elevator.
As of last check at week 28 baby A is still breech. I'm going in this week and we'll check to see if he moves, but he's so big I'm pretty sure I can feel that he hasn't. If he doesn't by 32 weeks we're going to make plans for a C-Section. I'm OK with this; I feel that I've had enough time to acclimate myself to this possibility. For me, it's scary to give birth either way, though I guess I'd prefer to give birth vaginally.
They move around all the time. I'm watching them right now. I can see them, rolling around, parts bumping up along my belly. It's just amazing to see and feel.
I'm glad they're still in there, growing big and strong. But I can't wait to hold them.
