Our Twinz

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

Dr. appt. today

I had a growth ultrasound on the boys this morning! I've finally hit the 40 pds. gained mark which is perfect for twins (now let's hope it all comes off). Finn is measuring a few days bigger than Sawyer but both are over 34 weeks in development. I am 33 weeks this week. The dr. said if they came it wouldn't be until the end of April and that he would like to see me make it a couple more weeks.

Next week I start getting my cervix checked at each visit to make sure there is no sneaky dilation. If I can make it for 5 more weeks - we probably wouldn't even have to visit the NICU. Although, if for some reason the little guys did make a surprise appearance, the dr. believes they would be fine (with a brief stay in the NICU).

Other than that, I can take Prilosec for heartburn which is fantastic news cause I've had some yucky heartburn, over the counter sleeping aids (not that I am going to) and I should start trying to do a little massaging on my hands if I can stand it. My joint between my pointer and middle finger on the left hand has been killing me for 2 weeks and my right middle finger feels like it's broken. I've tried a couple of times to massage but it just hurts way too much.

It's getting harder to be mobile and I loose my breath quickly. Going upstairs is a task in itself. I spend a lot of time in the tub and in bed. I've found a new vampire game on Facebook and have been playing that for a couple of days. Just trying to pass the time!

I'll post more next week or if anything comes up!
