30 Weeks

Tank top is no longer covering my belly.  Getting pudgy in the face now too :-(

How Far Along:  30 weeks. The bone marrow takes over the production of red blood cell for the twins.  Our babies can open and shut their eyes and tell the difference between light and darkness and their hands are fully formed.

Total Weight Gain: 174 lbs (about 40 lbs gained...yikes!).

Sleep: I rotate alot in my sleep to get comfortable, but it's been sore to do so, so I'm never really getting a "good" sleep. Plus, when I sleep on my side I can feel the babies -- which makes it uncomfortable. And I'm still waking up at 2am to take my medicine.

Best Moment This Week:  This week my cervical length dropped down to 19 again.  Ugh!  It's so frustrating that it changes so much from week to week.  Baby A is still breached as well.  We got their weights:  Baby A is 3lbs 3oz and Baby B is 3lbs 7oz...so about 7 lbs of baby and they are right on track!!  The doctor said he wasn't overly concerned with the 19 in length, since there was no funneling.  He did give me a couple of things to look forward to though.  At week 33, he'll take me off the Indocin, as it can do more harm than good after that point.  At week 35, if Baby A flips around, then he'll remove my cerclage and also take me off the Procardia.  However, if Baby A stays breached, then he'll schedule a c-section and remove the cerclage at that point.  The doctor also said my uterus is at "fullsize" if I were having a singleton.   He told me that contractions could be more intense and more frequent now, so I should monitor them closely. Getting so close!!

Movement: The boys are actively kicking and rolling around. Can see them move when I look my belly - pretty creepy!

Looking Forward To: My next appointment is Thursday.
