Interesting tidbit: this day last pregnancy I had a scan. A&P were measuring around 2 1/2lbs each... Crazy to think that's what this little one is at, if not a teeny bit bigger!
Got the call today that I failed my 1hr glucose test. I'm a little worried about it, since I have sugar issues in the first place, and I've never failed it before-not even with A&P where I was more likely to have GD with a multiples pregnancy. I go for my 3 hour on the 6th so here's hoping it'll go well!

Doc appointment today went well! My weight gain on their scale is 9lbs, not 6-still insanely low but the doc wasn't concerned-actually happy. Heartbeat was at 146, and I'm pretty sure baby has flipped back head down again because of where I feel hiccups. (Woohoo! Just stay there babylove.) I'm measuring 28w but between the fact that my uterus housed twins last time and I started off with extra weight anyways it doesn't surprise me.
Placenta is officially far enough away to be cleared of any issues-so I'm happy. I had my glucose test this morning before my appointment so I'll find out the results of that soon, but I'm guessing it'll be ok as pregnancy usually just evens it out for me. I go back in 4 weeks-crazy that we are getting to the "closer together" appointments!

27w
So I woke up this morning in the third trimester. Whaaaa?! How this happened I have no clue... But we are here.
Very fortunately the only woes of pregnancy that I am experiencing is sciatic nerve pain, which has been horribly bad the last two times too, and my strange lack of appetite. It's such work to eat. I've finally started gaining-6 pounds now I think-whereas at this point with Maya I had gained 19 and with Ava & Patrick I had gained 28. Whoops! Pretty sure baby is growing just fine so that's what matters.
Baby has been head down lately-I can tell because of where I feel hiccups. Much to my dismay today I could feel them over my left hip... Nooo! Now I can clearly feel the transverse position because of where kicks are. Baby better enjoy flipping around now because its going to be time to get serious soon!

25w
First of all-how in the world is it 15w until my due date?! This is going to fly by!
It's 2am. There's a major party going on in my belly. This child will be remembered as the wiggly one for sure-I love it, but holy cow! A lot of it has to do with the placenta placement, so I can feel pretty much everything. Seriously, it's constant!
Maya can feel baby kicking quite a bit too which is neat for her (and for me-I love that she's so excited and so involved).

It's viability day! Happy happy.
Went in for my follow-up ultrasound today. There are definitely four chambers in the heart-yay! The placenta has moved up a tad but still not enough to know if the doctor will pass it or not. I should hear in the next couple of days if I have to repeat the ultrasound again.
Baby was very active-opening his or her mouth, wiggling all around-I could see flips as they happened which is always fun. Baby is breech as of right now and heartbeat was at 156. Gender was definitely confirmed and it was overall a fun appointment since baby was being cooperative for some really good pictures and Maya got to join us today (since we had a dentist appointment nearby right before).
Also, I took a belly picture last Friday and never put it up! Whoops. (23w1d)

Still horribly sick. I can't wait to breathe again! Just hoping I get more sleep than last night-Patrick has duty tomorrow.
In good news though, Maya felt the baby kick today! There had been a lot of movement so I put her hand there, then there was nothing, so I stopped pressing her hand in... She kept it there and there was a huge "whop!" and she looked at me with eyes wide open, just as surprised as I was! Patrick felt kicks yesterday (or the day before?) too so we're getting into the real deal now :)

The past few days have been miserable. I've tried to just take it one half day at a time-taking advantage of the babies napping and me resting during that time (Maya's usually great if I toss on a movie, that's usually her only TV time of the day) but the problem is the babies' sleep schedule lately. It started a couple of months ago when they tore down their blinds, so it's never dim in there if the sun is up, including naptime. They are so curious and busy together that they just tend to get out of bed and destroy their room (and do things like climb under their crib and then get mad about it so I have to go rescue them). It all seems to have gotten worse in the past week too-they've reached an entirely new level in getting into stuff-so a nap the past couple of days just hasn't happened.
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday though-regular OB visit, but turned more into a sick visit. I didn't leave there too happy-more unnerved about it than anything-but remembering that the only thing I can try to do to kick this thing is to (attempt to) rest, stay hydrated, and watch my temp. Baby's heart rate was a little elevated from what it usually is (150-160) but mine is too from being sick so she wasn't worried.
Lets just hope I can kick this thing quick-Patrick has duty on Monday so it's going to be a really fun 24 hours alone with the kids!
