I just realized that not only have I not posted anything in about a month but I never did post about the last ultrasound, if that's any indication of the month I've had!
So first, the ultrasound...
It went great! Grant and Russ both made it down and Russ's mom was even able to come along and see the babies! We made a day of it by going to the appointment, shopping at the Tervis Tumbler store, and then grabbing something to eat.
The doctor said that everything looked great. Both of the babies were just under two pounds and growing great for their age. They were both also seen practicing breathing already. They also checked my cervix this time and it too looked good and was long and closed.
Now, the last couple of weeks....
One word, miserable. I'm so ready to be done and all I can think is that I still have about 10 weeks to go!!! TMI alert but I've been dealing with some pretty severe constipation/bloating issues even with daily Colace, LOTS of water and plenty of fiber in my diet. It makes me so uncomfortable and even sometimes painful. Also, I'm just physically done. My back is constantly aching from carrying my giant belly, my round ligaments often hurt when I'm walking around and I feel like at any minute my belly is just going to burst open and then rip off from my body from the weight.
My feet are still swelling a bit and are sore from it. It's not serious but enough that they hurt by the end of the day. I'm constantly exhausted because my sleep is crappy and I wake up nearly every couple of hours to use the bathroom. It's even worse when I'm suffering from that bloating and gas I mentioned.
I took my glucose screening a couple of weeks ago and of course, it came back abnormal so I then had to go back in to take the more extensive three hour test. I'm hoping to hear back on the results from that sometime today. However, with the way everything else has been going this pregnancy, I've decided to accept that fact that I will probably have gestational diabetes and end up needing a cesarean. It'd just be my luck.
I won't lie...I'm ready for this to be over.
