We've reached the long-awaited milestone: viability! Though I know we are far from in-the-clear, this is an accomplishment and right now I'll take it. Here's a quick recap of where I'm at:
Mood: Up and down due to the circumstances going on right now.
Food: Same old, same old. I am finding it harder to eat as much at meals. My dinner is pretty small most days, but I do snack before bed to keep myself from waking up in the night.
Sleep: I'm starting to wake up more frequently to pee, but otherwise sleeping like a baby.
Exercise: Took it pretty easy this week. I did a few yoga stretches each day, but that is it.
Body: What can I say? I am pregnant, no doubt about it! I do feel fortunate that so far, I haven't had other crazy pregnancy woes like super sore back, heartburn, or other aches and pains. I'm sure those will come in time! There were a few days where Baby B seemed to be up higher than normal and I had indigestion and more nausea. Now he/she has moved again, so it's not as bad. Measured 30cm at my last check!
Movement: I'm starting to feel it more and more each week. I can't wait till I can actually SEE the movement from the outside! Last night Baby A was sooo active and gave DH the hugest kick I have felt this far. It was awesome!
Notable Moments:
- The best part of this week was finding out how big these babies are getting. It makes it seem more real that there will actually be babies to take home.
- We got our cribs! We aren't setting them up yet, but they are in our garage ready to go.
- This week my brother, and his family are in town. They have a 2-year old, and a 3-month old. It has been nice seeing them, watching their parenting style (they are great parents!), and anticipating the fun our kids will have playing together when they are older. I still can't believe that between my siblings and I, we will have 5 kids under the age of 3 by the end of this year! That is going to make for some fun family get-togethers down the road.
Well, I'm off to enjoy the final moments with family and then cuddle up with a movie tonight. I took some pictures this week, and I may post some of them later, but definitely will post a bump update once I get organized! It's a long weekend here. Unfortunately, I won't be taking in many of the festivities around this area but we have some friends coming to visit and I'm looking forward to chilling' summer style!
