29 weeks pregnant

Today I saw my daughter yawning on the sonogram screen. It was soooo cute! I am so grateful that God is allowing me to experience this. Right now both my babies are breeched. Their heads are right next to each other and my son continually kicks me in my lower pelvis area (quite uncomfortable). My next formal anatomy scan is in 2 weeks.  My nights vary. Sometime I get a good night sleep and other times I wake up 3 or 4 times a night to use the bathroom.

My husband is beyond cute! He keeps kissing my belly and talking to them. He's really looking forward to being a dad. I am grateful that we get to experience being parents for the first time,together. I am currently working on a scrapbook for the babies. I am not the most creative person but my cousin made one for me and it was sooo cute so I want my twins to have one.

My belly measured 41 cm and I gained about 36 pounds so far.

27w6d Preggers

Tomorrow marks the first day of the third trimester! Praise God for allowing me to make it this far without any issues!!! I went to the doctor last week and he said my belly is measuring 35cm the size of a fullterm singleton pregnancy. People tell me that I dont look very big but I've gained 33 pounds so far. I just pray that my babies are a healthy weight.

Symptoms

I am definitely more tired than normal and easily winded. When i lift my right hand in a vertical position, I feel tingling. I attribute this to slight carpal tunnel syndrome. My doctor said I can get an arm brace if I want, but currently, it is tolerable. My son is kicking like crazy in my lower pelvis area. Yesterday, when I was laying down, it felt like he was brushing against my stomach (I pray that he was turning head down). It was quite painful. My daughter moves every now and then. I have not had too much swelling thank GOD. I attribute this to the fact that I telework 2 days per week which allows me to put my feet up often.

I find that when i overeat, my stomach feels EXTRA full and tight. It is very uncomfortable. So I've resorted to slight grazing on more healthy foods like greek yogurt and fruit.

The nursery has been painted and I stocked their closet with their baby clothes and other stuff I received from the shower. The next step is to post the tree decal and purchase the cribs.
