32 Weeks Pregnant

We are getting closer - only 5 more weeks to go for full term twins! Amazing to think about and although my 31 week post was slightly negative, there are things I will miss being pregnant like feeling the babies move and listening to the cute things Michael tells them through my belly.

Over the last week there has been a lot of movement and we are constantly trying to figure out what we are seeing moving from one side of my belly to the other... pretty sure at one point there was an elbow because it just kept poking straight out! The movement is amazing to feel even if it does wake me up several times a night. Between getting up to go to the bathroom, the movement of the babies, having to fully wake up to turn over (it really is quiet an effort to do so), and the heat making it hard to fall back asleep, it has really been hard to get a decent night's rest.
What has been really interesting to feel is the babies having the hiccups! This last week I've really noticed this almost on a daily basis between the two of them. Will be weird if they get them at the same time!

All in all, we are getting VERY excited!! :)

What's Happening In My Body?: The babies are taking up a lot of space and I'm gaining about a lb per week (x2) and roughly half of that goes to each baby~ The next few weeks the babies will fatten up for survival outside the womb. They both have toenails, fingernails and hair! To accommodate the baby's growing needs, my blood volume has increased about 50% since I got pregnant. With my uterus pushing up near my diaphragm, the consequences maybe be shortness of breath and heartburn (YEP!).

Each Baby is the Size of: A Honeydew
