WTF- I woke up every 1-2 hours throughout the night. I woke up covered in sweat like an hour before my alarm went off at 6, and pee'd 1403893478946523688921x it felt like. I MISS SLEEP. Unfortunatly, looks like I won't be seeing sleep anywhere in my near future lol.
Winning- We are almost done restoring the toybox for baby. It was my DH's uncles when he was little, his pawpaw made it over 30 years ago! I'm super excited to finish it and place it in the nursery (we'll probably use it as a blanket chest for now).
WTF: got a high heart rate notification from my watch letting me know that my heart rate had been above 100 bpm during 10 minutes of inactivity. I wasn't feeling great during my morning meetings and that explains it. Gave my midwife a call and since LO is moving just fine she said to rest, hydrate and if it's still high in a couple hours or I feel worse to call back. Nothing like a racing heart to kick start your day!
Winning: I've cancelled all my meetings for the day and will lay on the coach watching TV.
Wtf: Hubby has been really aloof and disconnected nearly the entire pregnancy. Like I don’t think he’s once acknowledged the pregnancy at all, without being strongly prompted. He did this last time too, so it wasn’t totally unexpected, so I’ve made more of an effort to speak to him about it, tell him what I need, ask for help, etc. But to no avail. Only thing he’s stepped up with, just a little, is entertaining our girls on weekends. But just a little. I have done ALL the prep thus far. I’m running myself ragged (and as a result, not been going to the gym as much and that makes me cranky), while he sits on his ass. I’m getting beyond fed up. The good news is, is that when the baby DOES arrive, he’s really stepped up then in the past. Fingers crossed!
Winning: I’ve been feeling really excellent lately. Good energy. Definitely nesting. No aches or pains. Sleeping decently. Work is busy again. Nursery is coming together. Car seats are in. Baby swings are washed up and out. Etc. Really want be fully prepared by the end of this weekend. I want to make it through March with this feel-good feeling as both girls have birthdays and I want March to be the month of fun and all about them.
WTF in laws... haven't seen them since last summer because they live out of town. First thing they say to me? "OMG the belly!" -MIL (umm hi nice to see you too) "HEY BIG MAMA" -Step FIL Then I find out from my husband that while they were at our house (they watched 2yo while I went to my U/S) step FIL tried to go snoop thru our garage?! And complained that we had a padlock on it?! Wtf?!
Winning: baby B flipped head down and both babies are growing as if they are singletons and are so healthy and it makes me wanna cry from joy. There's so many things that could go wrong with twins and I am so thankful that we've gotten this far with no complications.

@jackdetroit one of my older relatives greeted me with “hey big belly” at thanksgiving and I nearly lost it. Hey big anything is not an appropriate greeting for anyone, let alone a pregnant woman! AND with twins wtf.
