29 weeks

I had an appointment last Friday so I thought I would post an update. The boys are doing great, I wasn't supposed to have an ultrasound but I got worried because I had been feeling more movement on one side than the other. It turns out it was because they both moved! Josiah is head down now with Joshua, his feet are up just below my ribcage. Joshua is still head down but now his legs are on the left side of my stomach, under Josiah so that explains why I feel more movement on my left. I guess the Dr. realized more ultrasounds would give me peace of mind so she said I will have one at every appointment from now on! This is great because I love seeing my boys any chance I get!  I also took my glucola (Gestational Diabetes) test at this appointment so I will know the results soon. I am having an extremely healthy pregnancy, which makes me feel extremely lucky!!

I am due to start maternity leave on March 1st which is right around the corner! My official due date is April 10th, but twins don't cook as long so my estimated induction date will be March 20th, 2011. Eek getting close!

I am feeling amazing! It is a bizarre feeling to wake up feeling heavier than you did the day before. I am also looking more and more pregnant each day! I thought I never would look pregnant at the rate my belly has been growing, but the other day I received 4 different comments on how pregnant I looked. Jeremy (my brother) even said "Sis, you look like Juno!" lol. Feeling movement still trips me out. Like when your stomach grumbles you already subconsciously know it is going to happen because you're brain is connected to your stomach. When the boys move I have no subconscious warning it just happens!

Well I think that's it for now, but I plan on posting again after my next appointment, :)

Long time no post....

Sorry about the long lag between posts, I promise this trimester to post more often. Update on the boys, Joshua currently weighs 1 lb 15 oz and Josiah weighs 2 lbs 4 oz. Josiah is a ham for the camera already, he always turns towards the ultrasound wand and my last ultrasound we caught him sucking his thumb! ADORABLE! He even likes to prevent his brother from being seen. During my 3D ultrasound he even tried to prevent Joshua from being seen by sitting on his head, and stretching his legs in front of his face. Joshua prefers to be away from the wand by sitting up against my hip bone or cervix. They move a lot at night and the morning. They typically sleep while I'm at work and like to be active when I am trying to relax.

I am currently feeling incredibly happy. I have taken an approach to my situation with the babies dad by just living my life, if he chooses to be involved great he has my number. I am not going to call or text him with updates anymore, especially since he seems so disinterested. I also feel very proud of myself because a good majority of the things I have for the boys I have obtained myself. It makes me feel independent and  self-sufficient. I am excited to see a how my life will change after the boys are born. The other day I was doing some of their laundry and this feeling of joy swept over me as I realized that I wasn't only living for myself anymore. As of right now I am still working, I can still tie my shoes, sit on the floor and get back up!!!
