The Good
- This post marks this blogs’ 200th post. At post One Hundred, I wrote “Here’s to another 100 posts, which will hopefully soon start me towards another finish line: motherhood.” If someone had commented and told me I’d be 32 weeks pregnant for post number 200, I would have laughed. And yet, here we are. Wow.
- 32 weeks means we can now deliver at our local hospital! But obviously we want the babies to keep cooking because birth at 32 weeks would still require a few weeks in the hospital. Next goal: 34 weeks!
- Belly dance parties!
- Going for weekly checkups
- Another growth scan Friday!
- All in all still getting around pretty well- at least I think so.
The “Bad”
- At the last checkup I found out I’m 1cm dilated, though they didn’t seem particularly concerned. But they ran a Fetal Fibronectin which thankfully came back negative, which means I should be good still for the next two weeks. Still lets hope there is no more progress between now and next appt.
- Back is definitely hurting by the end of the day
- Work makes me tired. Zzzzz
The Weird and Amusing
- Getting dressed in the morning – its just funny to watch. Trust me. One of these days I’m going to end up on the floor like a turtle on its back, rolling around unable to get back up. I’ll be…down in….just….a second….I swear.
- Still bumping into things with my belly. Clearly I have no idea where it is in space.
- Getting out of bed is another funny thing, involving a 3 step process of sitting up by pushing on the bed or Bryan, working my feed around to the floor and then using the momentum to get out of the bed where I then waddle to the bathroom because one or both of my hips are probably still slightly asleep.
- When I get back into bed, I kinda just…..fall in. An “oomph” may or may not get uttered in the process.
- Bryan says I’m snoring. I’m sure this is also cute and definitely falls on the list he no doubt makes in his head of things he loves about his hugely pregnant wife 🙂
This week in numbers:
- Number of times I’ve been told I’m about to pop: 3
- Number of things I’ve hit with my belly: who knows
- Pounds gained: +35. Holy cow. (moooo – dang now I want ice cream)
- Number of times I’ve thought to myself wow, we are going to have babies soon (but not too soon): too many to count, and I still don’t totally believe it
And now for a funny picture

I LOVE that photo!

Ahhhh! LOL 🙂 It literally takes me half an hour to get out of bed. My hips and groin are ALWAYS asleep! I creep everywhere like a caterpillar because I can barely breathe. Not to mention, I always tell people don’t hold the elevator because it take me forever to reach it. LOL!!! You should me trying to put clothes on. Maternity clothing is NOT made for tall women who are carrying multiples. Whoever designed this crap did NOT have me in mind….lol
Glad the FFN test came back negative. My Peri won’t do them unless I end up in L&D again for assessment. He prefers the transvaginal ultrasound for cervical measurements combined with manual checks. He says they’re more accurate. IDK. Oh! And I sure as hell suck in the walls at night. 😉 I laugh and tell Hubbz that he would too (he does anyway) if he couldn’t breathe, could barely sleep, and if his lungs were shoved up in his throat from 3 active little vampires!! 🙂
Ahh, the joys of getting what you wish for! lol Glad you’re well……

Weird how places are so different. I was told they would no longer be taking measurements bc at this point it is supposed to start shortening, that they would just be checking for dilation. My docs office seems to think that the FFN is more accurate. So bizarre, though in this case I hope they are right. From the research I’ve done they say a negative means you have a less than 1% chance of going into labor. Here’s hoping ! I know another girl with twins said she walked around 1cm dilated from 28 weeks so I know its possible.
I’m running into issue with the shirts becoming too short. Though at this point I can’t say I care much.
Some of it is annoying, but most is amusing 🙂
Hope youre doing well too!

Lol, very amusing indeed!! Well for me, my cervix is measured weekly anyway. That has to do with my IC and the fact that I have the TAC in place. Of course with each week that I remain at or even just above 3cm, I am NOT complaining. I have 2 Peri’s managing me and each one will have a different opinion and approach. So, it will vary. 🙂 Good thing is that you’re doing well. So are babies!!!!! 🙂
I usually end up in the Hubbz’s button down Polo’s and some leggings when I can’t fit something. Better yet, since I am at home for the most part, I hang out in a wife beater, shorts, and a robe. The most comfy outfit of them all!!!!!
I’m doing alright. Hanging in there. 😉

I’ve been mia on here. Glad to see things are still going well for you! I am surprised you are still working at 32 weeks! I just read a book that says women with multiples should go on leave at 24-26 weeks. Now I think they’re big liars. Lol. How big are the babies measuring? I’m finally coming out of feeling so sick so I’ll be “around” more. 🙂

I read that too. It just depends on who you ask. I also have a job that allows me to sit most of the day so I stay off my feet and I know that has something to do with it! My time is coming to an end for sure though.
Babies are measuring 4lbs 2oz and 4 lbs 10 oz per our last ultrasound a few days ago so they are growing well! Good to see you again and hope you stick around!
