So in less than 3 weeks I will meet my baby boys finally! I have a c-section scheduled for April 3rd at 7:00 am. I'll be 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant.
This week they didn't take measurements of the boys but last week they measured 5 lb and 7 oz and 5 lb and 3 oz. Everything looks normal, except baby B has some fluid on his right kidney (again). Doctor keeps saying I shouldn't worry because it is going and coming, but I do worry :(
My bags are all done, and the babies bag is also stuffed with all the essentials. My mom will be arriving on April 3rd (she had planned it that way and it just happened that the C-section is for that same day). She will be staying with me until the end of May but she is already planning on coming back shortly after (I hope so!!). So everything is ready... I think... I keep thinking I should do more, but I know there is nothing else I can do at this point... besides, I will never be 100% ready to be a mom of twins. I'll just learn as I go and pray to God that I do a good job.
As far as me (how I physically feel) I think I am doing ok most of the time. Yes, It is uncomfortable to move around, to sleep, my lower back hurts and legs hurt and lower belly hurts, but I think it is all normal at this stage of my pregnancy. I do feel like I have swollen a lot more in the past 4 weeks than I did before, but again, nothing too bad. Everything will pass and then other types of pain will come (sore nipples when breast feeding, lack of sleep, etc) and then that too will pass. Nothing will be forever. I am trying to really enjoy every minute of my pregnancy and I intend to do the same when the boys arrive. Time will fly by then, as these past 8 months have flown by. I want to be able to enjoy it all: the good and the bad. One day I will sit back and think about this time and I know in my heart: it was all worth it!
anyway... only 20 more days until I hold my boys in my arms!! :)
