31 weeks

•How far along?: 31 weeks 2 days

•Total weight gain: 23 lbs

•How big is baby?: The size of a pineapple!

•Maternity clothes?: Pants are getting hard to put on. I'm wearing more skirts now.

•Movement: More hiccups which is a sign of lung maturity so even though they are CRAZY annoying, they are good things yes? Sometimes Gerry and I just sit back and watch my stomach roll and get poked at.

•Stretch marks?: The ultrasound tech commented on them... That's when you know they are bad.

•Sleep?: I'm sleeping in 3 hour increments whether at night or during the day... I guess I'm preparing for babies?

•Symptoms?: Heartburn, rib pain, contractions, leg cramps, sore joints

•Food cravings: Ice cold water. and it has to be SUPER cold.

•Belly button in or out?: Off-center outie

•What I miss: being able to paint my toenails easily and reach things. Bending is getting hard.

•What I'm looking forward to: I have an eviction date for these little girls!! If they don't come before this date I will be induced or have a c-section on May 22!! That's less than 50 days from now! I can't wait to see them!

•Best Moment this week: Hmmm... It wasn't exactly this week but whatever. I had my MFM appointment and the girls were rockstars! Alice measured 3 lbs 8 oz. She was in the 70th percentile and was measuring 30 weeks 5 days (I was 29 weeks 1 day). Colette was 3 lbs 5 oz. She was in the 65th percentile and was measuring 29 weeks 6 days. They had flipped from their transverse states and Alice was head down and Colette was breech. I have had another u/s since then at my OB's and Alice is breech, butt first, and Colette is trying to be head down but is a little more transverse thanks to her sister taking up all the room.

•Milestone: Each week is a milestone now. My doctor said "each day you stay pregnant is a victory" I have to remember that on the days I feel like I'm going to burst I'm so big.

•Nursery Progress: Still need to hang stuff on the walls... but the extra boxes and bins are put away!

I do have a favor to ask you all! Pray that these babies get into position! Yesterday Alice was still butt first and I really want her head down! I want to try and avoid a c-section and the farther along I get the less likely she is to turn. Practically the whole pregnancy she was head down and now in these last few weeks she is head up! Twins typically settle into final position at 28 weeks but mine have changed position twice since then so there is hope!
