I've been taking unisom to help me sleep at night, and sometimes it works wonders while other nights it seems like it doesn't work at all. Last night I had the hardest time going to sleep because I was having braxton hicks every 5-6 minutes. Since they weren't painful (just super uncomfortable), I wasn't concerned, but it really made it difficult for me to fall asleep. When they stopped at 1:00 am, I was finally able to catch some ZZZs!
I have my next NST tomorrow and my next ultrasound is Thursday with my doc. Since the babies have been consistently a week to a week and a half big, I'm guessing they are both over 5 lbs, probably closer to 5 1/2 lbs right now! There aren't very many mamas that can say they carried over 10 lbs of baby at 33 weeks!
Total weight gain: 28 pounds…both girls are gaining approximately a half pound a week, which means I'm gaining a pound a week of pure baby!
Stretch marks: None yet and crossing my fingers it stays that way for a few more weeks!
Sleep: Hit or miss…I've been taking unisom which helps occasionally
Best moment this week: My baby sprinkle :)
Miss anything: I miss a lot of things right now…I miss spending time with my sweet Jayden, I miss being able to pick her up and play with her, I miss being able to work out (yes, I did just say I miss working out! LOL), I miss being comfortable, I miss being able to wear anything I want whenever I want, I miss being able to eat a full meal without heartburn or indigestion and I miss being able to go out and walk around Target or Costco or anywhere really! Ohhh the simple things in life people take for granted!!
Movement: Their movement is getting stronger and stronger each week. Since they are both still breech, when they kick, it's right on my bladder or a nerve that sends shooting pains down my legs (it's pretty painful!). I've also been having major braxton hicks/contractions every single day that get stronger each day!
Food cravings: Sushi, champagne and coffee…the three things I can't have :(
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope :)
Belly button in or out: Out
Wedding rings on or off: Off
Happy or moody: I feel like I've been a little of both this week. It's hard being pregnant, especially when you're this big and uncomfortable. I'm trying to stay positive and count my blessings each day <3
Looking forward to: Meeting these sweet girls in 30 days!!
