Oh....HELLO 3RD{and final}TRIMESTER and MONTH 7!!!!!

Well things have been going pretty decent the past week. I developed Pregnancy Carpal Tunnel...the WORST pain, which is mostly at night-in the middle of the night! I would wake up and my right hand mostly would be numb, I could feel a pain from my fingers shooting down my arm into my shoulder. The only way I could shake it off was to get out of bed, stand up and shake my hands and arms. I would whine in my sleep and apparently slap Jimmy{lol}I don't remember doing that but its that painful lol

I went up to labor and delivery yesterday to be monitored because between the carpal tunnel, the babies weren't moving as much as they were, I have had bad head aches and my vision gets blurry occasionally, obvious signs of pre-eclampsia. So they told me to come in immediately and they would just check things out...sure enough the babies would start moving as soon as they put the fetal monitors on my stomach. After blood work, cultures and pre-term labor tests, everything came back ok, I just need to be monitored closer then they have been. I am not dilated at all, but my cervix is extremely soft and they think it will all start soon{dilation}which is completely normal for me. The doctor I saw yesterday kind of scared me by saying she thinks they will be here between 35-36 weeks{and apparently she's always right?!}

I had my 28 week ultrasound growth scan{love all these ultrasounds}

Everything is looking perfect with them!! They are still moving around like crazy and when I say moving around I mean position wise! Today they were both head up-side by side...yesterday they were both head down...lol they said they don't "worry" about their position until 32-33 weeks because by then space is more limited then ever! I am still aiming for my natural labor! I am even discussing with them delivering both breech is it comes down to it!!

Their weights were amazing!! My doctor must have screwed something up because they are only 3 oz different!! Lil' lady is 2lbs 10oz and Lil' Man is 2lbs 13oz...very good sizes for twins!!! Its crazy to think I'm only 7 months pregnant and I already have OVER 5lbs of baby inside of me lol!! By the time they come its going to be anywhere from 10-14lbs of babies inside they said!!! CRAZY!!!

We are just about completed with their nursery...still need a few more things to add to it but its awesome to have it almost finished-since we are not sharing their names until they are born and their names are on the wall above their cribs-I won't be sharing them until after the twins arrive!!!

I can not believe that I am in my 3rd trimester and now 7 months pregnant! This pregnancy has seriously flown by! I am beyond thankful that things have been going so well. I have been a nervous wreck this pregnancy that something was going to go wrong early on and so far we have been blessed with two perfect healthy babies. I pray that God and our Angels continue to look over all of us and the twins.

8-9 Weeks left!!

{7 if that doctor is right}
