32 Week Update

We have officially hit the 32 week mark.  We have 6 or less weeks to go (doctor won't let me go past 38 weeks).  CRAZY! 

Here is my comparison from Harper to the Gatlin & Houston

Baby's size?
About 16.5 Inches and 4 lbs (according to BabyCenter.com)
The boys both measured 4 lbs 1 oz. at my ultrasound this morning.  My doctor couldn't believe that they were above average for most single babies...much less twins. The bigger the better (even though its uncomfortable)

Weight Gain?
The nurse doesn't tell me and I don't look or ask at the doctor. Ignorance is bliss! Plus, I figure if my weight is an issue...they will tell me! :)

I actually lost a pound this week.  That was unexpected.  I didn't see the total, she just said I lost a pound. I am not complaining. :)

Maternity clothes? 
Anything that fits!
I am starting to worry I am out growing my current maternity clothes! EEK!  I dont want to buy clothes for a few more weeks. I will just squeeze this bump into anything I can! 

Sleep?
Getting harder to breathe when I lay down. Using the largest body pillow known to man! Also, getting up more frequently to go to the bathroom. I am a much lighter sleeper these days.
Last night was a challenge to fall asleep. I am having trouble breathing at night.  It is very hard to get uncomfortable. In addition tot he body pillow, I am also using 2-3 behind my head and one on my side.  Once I actually fell asleep, I slept all night, which was nice!

Foods I am loving?
Chocolate!!

Mexican, Candy, Ice Cream, and Pasta...you know, the healthy stuff! :)

Song of the Moment:
Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO and Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga

Happy by Pharell Williams. It makes me Happy! :)  Oh and anything Harper sings to me. 

Symptoms?
 Breathing is a little hard, my back is sore in some spots, and my joints are a little stiff. It's not bad and most days I barely notice. I hope it stays this way for a while!

Breathing is the hardest thing right now.  Sitting for long periods of time causing back/joint pain.  I am staring to sell in my hands, feet, and face.  My right hand goes numb for no reason...that's fun.  I am still getting nauseous and throw up about once a week.  I would say I am having a slightly harder time this time around.  Most days after work, I am really worn out.  It's worth it...just not easy.

Best moment this month?
Had a Realtor focus group at work and one lady asked me when I was due, I said 9 weeks and she said, "but you're so small".  that was a nice change from "are you sure it's not twins?".  Also, the nursery is pretty much finished...that is a nice feeling! Also, my sales team surprised me with gifts this morning...including our pack'n'play!

We finished the nursery (minus hanging two book shelves and toiletries for the boys), I have all their laundry done and put away, and we have an official c-section date.  The boys will be here 4.11.14 or sooner.  

What I'm looking forward to?
My baby shower in West, TN this weekend and Josh's work shower the next weekend.  I am slowly getting more and more things checked off my list at work. I will start training a few people to do my job while I am out.  Looking forward to that and not worrying about it anymore!

Finalizing a nanny for the boys.  We are going to present a formal offer next week and fingers crossed it all works out.  I am also looking forward to delegating more responsibilities at work.  My job is a little high stress right now, so taking a few things off my plate will help.  

It's getting real!!
