As I expected, they didn't do any cervical checks at my last appointment. The night before I went in, I had contractions 5 mins apart for 45 minutes but they weren't very painful. I've had some strong, yet not very painful, ones since but nothing that close together. I can feel that baby A has dropped. I've been exhausted this week.
Last week I would wake up, wide awake, every morning between 2-4am and stay up for a couple hours before going back to sleep. I'm past that now but just so drained all the time no matter what. Perhaps the babies are having growth spurts.
My next ultrasound is in 3 days. I'm looking forward to seeing their new weight estimate. I'm also looking forward to hearing what the high risk doctor will say now that I'm past 32 weeks. I'll be 34 weeks the day I see him! One of my biggest goals this whole pregnancy was to make it to the month of November so I'm really excited that I've done that. My next goal is to make it another week and 3 days, then I'll feel more comfortable with my regular OB delivering them in the hospital without the nicu. Ideally, I would still like to make it to 36 weeks. The last time I wrote a post I was very certain that I could surpass that goal. Now, I'm not so sure. There's so much pressure when I stand up. If they gain half a pound per week, then they might weigh around 5 pounds a piece now. I would be really happy with that. On average, twins are born weighing about 5.5lbs so I think I'm doing a good job! I would just like for them to stay in a little bit so they can breathe better on their own when they're born and so I'll be able to nurse them.
I will certainly update more after my high risk appointment on Monday. I'm so tired right now and need to take a nap while my mom has my 3 year old and my 6 year old is in school. Soon naps will be a thing of the past! So I plan to enjoy them whenever I can.
