Well like I said, it's been a while, quite a while since I have written on here.
I have been through a few ultrasounds since I last wrote. Everything is going good, pregnancy wise. The babes are growing great! The ultrasound and blood tests that I have had seem to show that there are no problems with the cupcakes, they are of normal size for twins and there are no problems with their spines, hearts all that stuff. Emma even got to see them on the ultrasound, which she thought was cool.
The heartbeats have been strong and about the same, 145 beats per minute. And they have been kicking like crazy!! Although no one but Matt has felt them kick, they are quite elusive to other people. But this morning Emma saw my tummy move for the first time!! It's pretty freaky to see my stomach move on it's own!
Now as for me, I haven't been doing all that well. The numbness in my fingers and hands has been extremely bad, which is partly why I haven't been typing any blogs. The pain can get so bad sometimes that I sometimes feel it would feel better if I just cut open my skin to relieve the pressure!! I won't of course, but that's the extent of the pain! Plus the pain in my shoulders, back and now pelvis, which has gotten a lot worse, since I think they have dropped or turned or something, but the pelvic pain is huge. Everything that I do is difficult, getting into bed, walking Emma to school, driving, going up my stairs, grocery shopping, even just rolling over in bed! I feel like a turtle who gets stuck on her back and can't roll over! lol it's not a pretty sight! I don't even fit in my stand up shower anymore!!! Although, I am huge at 6 months, I have only gained 8 pounds!!! LOL although you wouldn't know it!!
Besides the weight thing, I have been feeling pretty down on myself because I feel like crap and I hate it! And I have been having scary dreams where I don't live to see my babies, it's just awful! I am pretty scared of what's to come for us and all the things that could go wrong. But I do think I need to go through these thoughts to process them and be prepared, and then I tend to handle things better.
On another note, I am done work now...WOO HOO, I really needed to be done! Next week we are starting our renos (aka painting), and when I say we, I mean Matt and Shana, who is painting our living room, kitchen and entryway. I will feel so much better when it is all done! It's quite annoying when I can't do pretty much anything that I want to get done! But at the same time, I should treasure it now as come August I am sure I will be a zombie!
So my next task is my OB's appointment tomorrow in William's Lake and to not go into early labor while watching the Canucks!!! Here's hoping for no playoff babes, and Vancouver to the cup!!! ;-)
