twinpack: 32 weeks

How far along? 32 weeks (compare to 32 weeks with my son here)

Maternity clothes? yes but they're getting pretty tight or shirts don't stretch long enough

Stretch marks? no, surprisingly 

Sleep: been waking up a couple times a night now. that little stretch of awesome nights of sleep is pretty much over i think 

Best moment this week: staying pregnant another week!! and whenever our little guy comes to visit - AND when I get to leave my room for little wheelchair trips around the hospital :) 

Miss anything? being at home with my family

Movement: bigger babies, bigger movements ... all the time. my bump is constantly a shapeshifter and it freaks everyone out (which makes me laugh) - but some of their movements are so big it makes me a little sick! 

Food cravings: i'm at that point in pregnancy where food is just food, some sounds amazing but most is just eh. ...maybe it's hospital food? ;)

Anything making you queasy or sick: smells 

Genders: a boy and a girl!  

Labor signs: some contractions here (including some i don't feel and the nurses ask 'are you feeling those contractions? ... what contractions? so, no)  and there but nothing consistent or strong

Symptoms: pains, being uncomfortable basically all the time. babies are growing which is making me more uncomfortable every day - but i'll take it! sore back, sore hips, waddling, achy legs, walking VERY slow, hard to breathe... i don't know how women who are having multiples make it to 40 weeks. god bless them all.

Blood sugar: i saw dr awesome yesterday, he said i'm doing great even though i was a spaz about my a1c going up a tenth of a number. we made some nighttime adjustments to my basal rates and i woke up with a better number this morning! 

Looking forward to: the sprinkle, finishing up their room, organizing clothes and cooking them for a couple more months. 

Bitch of the week: just ... people who don't get it. and don't have filters. and think that just because someone is pregnant they are free to say whatever in the world they would like about your appearance. i want to make it clear that i do not think i look 'HUGE!' but apparently other people do ... i think i look bigger than at this point in my last pregnancy, but i'm carrying two babies. i FEEL heavier and more uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean i think i look awful or really big or anything. so someone else saying it is flat out rude. 

i am also growing two humans, so changes are going to happen in my appearance. i'm sorry if it bothers you, i will gladly stay miserable and try to not complain about the physical pain too much for the next 2 months if it means i don't have preemies in the NICU. i want them to stay growing inside of me so they come out healthy and on time.  if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut.

Bitch of the week: to the dude cashier at hobby lobby when we were doing work errands, "i'm sorry" is a stupid response when you ask someone what they're having and they tell you a boy and a girl.
