New Pics

Here are some updated pictures top ones are 34 weeks and bottom are 35 1/2 weeks.

35 1/2 weeks AHHHHH

So as I am sure you all have heard, I am miserable, ha. I am so ready for these kids to come out of me!!!

Jaret has left for training in Kingston, he comes home every weekend and can come home through the week if he doesn't have a lot of homework. Thankfully I have a lot of help with Sawyer, while he is gone.

Today I had another Ultrasound and they estimated the babies at 6 1/2 pounds each !!!!! CRAZY! It makes me think these babies are ready to be born! I can only pray that my water will break anytime, because I don't think my doctor will do anything until 37 weeks. I know it doesn't seem like long, but everyday feels like a week right now. :(

I don't see my Dr. until next Wednesday but I made a point to go into her office to let her secretary know how miserable I have been lately..... I am not usually that much of a complainer, but when your not sleeping and every part of your body hurts it takes a tole on you...

Okay enough complaining....

Sawyer is doing great! He is talking ssssooooo much, he never stops :) Super cute though, he is very polite, please, thank you, welcome, etc. He is also very set in his ways, and demanding "sit down mommy", I can't think of anything else right now. Everytime I cough or sneeze Sawyer will say "alright mommy??" so cute... He is missing Jaret and it is going to be even more of an adjustment when the babies come, I feel bad for him.

Thats it for now.. I will be putting so new pics up soon, but they are not pretty, ha.

34 week milestone

Well we are past the big milestone of 34 weeks!!! Doctor is happy and said I can go anytime, although she thinks I could last a couple more weeks and obviously would be best. I had an ultrasound yesterday and babies look great, they scored 8/8 each. They both are about 5 1/2 pounds so everyone is happy about the weight. I don't feel any different regarding labour, but I don't really know what to expect because I never went into labour on my own with Sawyer.

I have all these thought about nesting, (cleaning, organizing etc.) but then think of my energy level and decide to sleep instead :( which means things that NEED to get done, aren't.

Jaret leaves for his training course on Monday, so that will be a big adjustment around the house. One I have mixed emotions about... Sawyer will sure miss him around the house as Jaret has been off of work for the past few weeks, Sawyer is getting used to always having daddy home with him.

We have my cousin's wedding tomorrow that I am so looking forward to. I am glad that I will actually make it to it, (hopefully). I have nothing "dressy" that will fit but I am sure I will find something and hopefully blend into the background....ha yeah right.

Thats all for now. Maybe my next post will say we had the babes????? :)

32 week update

Today I went for another (weekly) ultrasound, babies are looking good. On the weekend I went to the OAC and was checked out because I was not feeling baby B move. Turns out they had flipped so much that both babies were transverse (sideways) so I wasn't feeling as much movement.

So today Baby A (boy) who has been breech for a long time is now head down, and Baby B (girl) is breech.... So the option for vaginal delivery is open again.... (more on that in a bit)

The boy weighs 4 lbs 13 oz and the girl weighs 4 lbs 5 oz. So I have about 9 lbs of baby in there, 2 placentas, and everything else..... which is why I look and feel like a whale, ha.

My Dr.'s appt went well also today, the usual blood pressure, urine, normal. We discussed delivery and now that baby A is head down, I can deliver vaginally, once he comes out there is a chance baby B will move, and they can deliver the second breech. However if she is transverse then they will have to do a C-Sec. This is my fear, to have to deliver both ways... So my choice is to have a scheduled C-Section, I am not to sure what I would choose, I was hoping baby A would make the choice for me. (he still may flip again)

What would you choose? She said we would schedule delivery at 37 weeks either way, which I think is way to long to go, ha. I was hoping for 36 weeks, I know it is not much different but at this point... I kinda think my body won't let me go that long anyways, I really don't know how much more I can stretch!

I am getting more and more bracken hicks contractions, they are getting intense but not painful. So my Dr. said not to worry until they are painful, I never went though this with Sawyer so it feels like my first pregnancy where I am not sure I will know the difference. I know everyone says, "you will know" so I am basing it on that. I have lost my ankles!! The swelling is beginning... Dr. said it is fine as long as my blood pressure is good which it is. It is just gross and the heat isn't helping, but I am not complaining.

Well that is my update for now. My next Dr. appt is in 2 weeks, that was my goal from the beginning - to make it to 34 weeks!

Time Flies!!!!

Today marks one of the biggest days of the year for us, here at the Davidson household.

August 27th is the one date "daddy" can't forget and shouldn't!

It was 5 years ago today that Jaret and I got married! 5 years!! I know that doesn't seem like a lot for those married many times that, but it marks a big anniversary for us. What IS the average now???

Also 2 years ago today our first son, Sawyer was born!! Hard to believe 2 years ago I was in the same spot as today, pregnant and ready to deliver! I am really hoping to make it past today though, before the twins are born..... that would be way to weird. :)

Here is to a great day!!!!

30 week update

Well it seems like I have new things happen in this pregnancy weekly or daily.... Lately I have been feeling itchy, I think I mentioned it in another post. Well it hasn't gone away... so I called my Dr. yesterday and she told me to go to the OAC (assessment room on Maternity floor) today, so I was there about 9:30am, they hooked me up to the monitors and took some blood work. Turns out I do have ICP Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy which is "Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is caused by an impairment of bile secretion in the liver. As the bile backs up in the liver, the level of bile acids increase in the bloodstream. These bile acids are deposited in the skin causing the intense itching." The scary thing is that it can harm the babies, and COULD cause fetal death....

I had this with Sawyer, although I was 38 1/2 weeks so they fixed the problem by inducing me. They don't have that option yet as I am only 30 1/2 weeks. I have been given a prescription which can help with my symptoms however it does not help with the effect on the babies. This being said is kinda scary although I am not going to worry and stress over it, as it is not going to help. My Dr has scheduled weekly ultrasounds to make sure the babies are still doing well. I had one today and the babies are just shy of 4 pounds each!! CRAZY they are huge, ha... and everything is perfect, they scored 8 out of 8 each.

Anyways I am home after a long day there and just praying these babies can stay in my belly, and healthy for at least another 5 weeks! Thanks for the prayers....

Pregnancy Pics...

Well I said I would upload some pics..... I have not taken as much as I did when pregnant with Sawyer. As you can see I am huge!! I don't know how I am supposed to grow for another 7 weeks, it must be possible, just not to pretty, ha. I will hopefully take pics to the end and then can share them. I am constantly reminded of Kate plus 8, and her stomach, how it stretched for 6 babies, I can not even image that.... My stomach already is feeling sore and tender to touch, ahhh so much more stretching to come :(
