Re: End of Sept Check In
Additional symptoms: insomnia, heartburn, hip pain, more heartburn, back pain and just the weight is scaring me because I know he's only getting bigger.
Rave: I’ll get to sleep tomorrow! I don’t work Fridays and my husband will get up and deal with the kids. I’m looking forward to it like it’s Christmas.

Thanks for the deodorant suggestion. I may have to try that. I got an aluminum free whole body one and it doesn’t seem to be doing much of anything for me. I know my sense of smell is still over the top, so probably no one else thinks I smell like feet, but I sure don’t want to smell it.

Upcoming Appointments: Had one appt today and had a NST. Last week, the two kept moving non stop as soon as nurse found a heartbeat and strapped us in; the kids would both flip and she would have to relocate- the Dr. came in and was like, obviously they are moving and they don’t seem stressed so we are good here. Today was much earlier in the day, and they were not moving. I wanted some kind of movement so we didn’t have to do this longer than need be (I had RSV and Dtap vaccine appt within hour). If you are still with me here- ha here is where I embarrass myself. (Backstory these office room walls are thin and I can hear the other Dr. and patient talking...). This is first appt DH missed and I was all strapped up and pantless and phone was across the room in my jacket pocket under my pants. Kids not moving- I needed to help things along. I was talking to them and playing with the little bit of room I had to poke/tickle em... Nothing. I access my phone with my watch and hit up Spotify. It was on the DJ mode- perfect so I can skip anything that may pop up inappropriate wise since thin walls and all. Well I am jamming and singing (not overly loud) but we are starting to move and feel ourselves to some late 90s early 2000s. Burn by Usher got somebody’s heart up from 130 to 180 that machine was beeping so much I was like Lil Dude cool your jets or we’ll have to skip it. Next up was EnVouge and well if you know, you know. The girl apparently starts to move all over the place with this one and poof the doctor comes in. I immediately turn off the music with my watch. She looks over everything and is like looks great. So we are in the hallway one nurse warns me; “if kids like certain music while in your belly that will be there go to songs when they are out. Good choices.” (Egg on my face). At check out another person who does office stuff so absolutely no way she heard me singing- told me I had good taste. I immediately look at my clothes which are workout clothes so I look back at her confused look on my face. She goes with music. Geeze Louise. I love my office and all the folks in there but man called out. I have an appt next week for US and NST that DH can’t make because Dr. office had to swap days and he getting a surprise work shower on appt day- so may ask my Mom to come along since US.
How are you feeling? Boy baby dropped a little so there was pelvic pressure. Dr. Said she could feel him but everything closed up still. I am EXHAUSTED and nightly heartburn and up flipping all night trying to get comfortable. But for carrying twins at 33+2 it’s been relatively easy.
Rants/Raves: I am getting very nervous about highly likely needing a c-section. We are flipping non stop by they are traverse and breech every appt (they always swapping roles and sides/positions). Dr. Super cool and told me we can wait till show time; but If a chance of c-section high for one baby I really don’t want to heal both ways. I am so EXCITED I am officially done with all my shower thank yous from like 5 weeks ago and my work shower
. I told the fella I am leaving the thank yous out in case he needs any but I won’t be writing any for his co-workers. (I did ask who a lady was who bought something this week from registry was I didn’t recognize her name- and he was like that is a coworker. So I may have ruined his surprise). Ooops.
Everything was fine at my appointment, baby girl has turned head down and has been head down for a week. Which I'm really happy about because she was flipping every 2/3 days for the two weeks before that. I've been doing lots of belly mapping to monitor where she is and using the side lying resting position to try and help by putting her back in a good position.
In my last pregnancy I had excess fluid and a transverse lie. Which meant that I ended up being hospitalised at 39w for 10 days before baby managed to get his head engaged so I could go home. So understandably I'm keen to get and keep baby girl in a good position. With it being my third pregnancy and there's a good chance I might have excess fluid again my issue is that she still has a lot of room.
Though I was looking at my growth chart for this and my last pregnancy. Last time I only have measurements from 34 weeks onwards (🤷♀️ covid) but if my growth stays in line as it has been this time I'll be measuring several cm smaller than last time. I'll have to wait until my next appointment but I'm hopeful that I can avoid the excess fluid this time. 🤞
Also the baby room is nearly finished. I just need to order a blind and put it up. I decided on a woodland theme and I put up some Flower Faries inspired wall decals earlier. It's looking really cute and the theme works really well with the slopey ceiling and beams in the room it just adds to the fairytale vibe.
mom.
Been feeling super out of breath lately, constipated, heartburn like crazy, and more emotional than usual. Pelvis feels like it’s completely separated. Loving all the people commenting on my bump and congratulating me. I carried small with my last 3 babies (I’m on the taller side at 5’9’’) so just the fact that people have NOTICED I’m pregnant and are confident enough to engage me about it since around 25 weeks is awesome.
Next appt is in a week, regular heartbeat and belly check. Husband and I just decided that this will be our last baby. Gonna get Mirena inserted right after delivery then husband will get a vasectomy a few months later. Kind of sad about it but proud that I’m making responsible decisions LOL
Looking forward to my bday/baby moon trip to Maui with the family next week. Thinking about having maternity photos taken when we’re there. We’ll see.
