27 weeks and 6 days-just a few days short of 28 weeks... [YAY!!!]
I think 28 weeks
marks the beginning of the final stretch, the third trimester (woot woot).
But I've also
heard it's the longest and most dreadful trimester, apparently counting down in
anticipation of their arrival will be longer than actually making it this
far.
Just a few quick
relevant stats:
Weight Gain 20
lbs
Girls weight
2.5lbs (each)
Carpal Tunnel- IN
FULL EFFECT
Projected
Tempature in KS: 85-100 degrees
**TEMPERATURES: READING FROM THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S CAN BE EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.THESE HOT
TEMPERATURES WHEN COUPLED WITH THE HUMID CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES
OF 100 TO 110 DEGREES**

(next baby IF
there is a next baby will definitely be a Spring baby)
Stretch Marks-1 (it's tiny but
it's growing off my appedix scar and driving me CRAZY!)
Belly Button still
hasn't popped out
Linea Negra- I
don't have it!
and this is how
MASSIVE I look!

| I can't imagine what 10 more weeks will look like! |
I think my widwife
has noticed my desperation because she gives me hugs at every appointment (every
2 weeks now) and makes weak attemps at trying to comfort me, as does my mom and
sisters. Little do they know NONE OF IT WORKS!!!!
I don't really
know how women actually say they "ENJOY" being pregnant!!!?? Are these women on
crack???
Don't get me wrong
it all hasn't been terrible. I've enjoyed random things here and there. Hearing
their heartbeats for the first time took my breath away, seeing their little
profiles on the ultrasound brought tears to my eyes, and feeling their little
love kicks for the first time, well there are no words that can describe how
this makes a mom to be feel. Maybe if we could just skip the first trimester
(with all the throwing up) go straight into the second (where all the fun stuff
starts), and then just skip to having the baby in your arms (who wants to spend
hours PUSHING) pregnancy wouldn't be so bad- I know it's wishful
thinking...
[thank you Eve for eating that damn apple]
I'm hopeful
that now that I'll be visiting my widwife every two weeks, my birthday is coming
up, Alex might be visiting, and my mom is coming I have little mini things to
look forward to and before you know it it's "D-DATE!"
In all fairness
there are days (and nights) when I kind of "forget" I'm pregnant but those times
have been FEW AND FAR BETWEEN!
So let's pick up
the pace girls get this show on the road we all can't wait to see what & who you girls
will look like!!!!
