Week 21 Bump Update!





Week 21 Bump Update! 


This week went by so quickly, nothing big happened. I feel like I've slept and ate my way through this week! 

My loving husband and I went to see the Lion King at the Palace Theatre in Manchester! It was a Xmas gift and this was his first time ever going to a musical.... at times he looked less than impressed - especially after I burst into song to " hakuna matata"  But truth be told a few times I caught a smile out of the corner of my eye... he liked it even though he'd never admit to it. haha.

How far along? 21 weeks
Total weight gain:I can't find my scale..... no seriously I can't
Maternity clothes? I refuse to buy another pair of maternity jeans soooo I've butchered my post-pregnancy jeans and cut the zipper out. Frankin-pants
Stretch marks? No but I am starting to lotion the bump
Sleep: hahaha what's that?
Best moment this week: Seeing the Lion King with my Hubby
Miss anything?  sleeping the whole night without being in pain!
Movement: tons 
Food cravings: Marks and Spencers - full for longer meals! yuumm
Anything making you queasy or sick: no this is a thing of the pass
Gender: Girls!!!
Labor signs: No thank god. They have alot of baking to do.
Symptoms: My left hip around the socket hurt sooo bad I almost contemplated going to the emergency room.... but than god it passed!
Belly button in or out? That sucker is on it's way out.
Wedding rings on or off? On.. although I had a scary baby brain one day and I took them off and just couldn't remember where I left them! scaaarrry.
Happy or moody most of the time: people have been annoying me lately.
Looking forward to: seeing my girls again next week :)

long intermission to be over at the Lion King.

Week 19 Bump Update! SEX REVEALED!



Week 19 Bump Update! SEX REVEALED!


I know I've not been here to update ... but with the holidays .. full time work and wifey-life I've been soooooooo busy!!! So last time we left off I was being referred back to my primary hospital , which we had an appointment with on the 28th and the babies seem to be doing good! There is still in fact one week but as it has not gotten any worse they are still putting it down to twin discordance but are still monitoring every two weeks. I won't bore any of you with repetitive information, if something surfaces I will write about it. 


How far along? 19 weeks
Total weight gain: I've not been monitoring ... I think if I knew the number I'd think too much
Maternity clothes? omg yes still and I think I need more of them.
Stretch marks? no not really just some old ones.
Sleep: I have good nights and bad ones.. I think it has alot to do with my mind frame before I go to bed... I've noticed if I'm stressed I sleep worse.
Best moment this week: WE'RE HAVING GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Miss anything? Walking without being in pain or major discomfort (my pelvic bone is starting to feel the pressure)
Movement: Yes.  A few times a day especially after having fruit or something with sugar. I've noticed the kicks are getting stranger. 
Food cravings: fruit - peaches and pineapples
Anything making you queasy or sick: no I think this is under control now.
Gender: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!
Labor signs: No thank god. They have alot of baking to do.
Symptoms: yes. My pelvis is starting to hurt. It's either Pelvic Girdle Grind or Siatica. Either way I get shooting pain from my pelvic bone right down to my butt bone but only on one side.
Belly button in or out? Its almost out. It's only about as deep as half of my fingernail. 
Wedding rings on or off? On... but I'm starting to notice more swelling.
Happy or moody most of the time: Sad and very emotional
Looking forward to: seeing my girls again later this week :)
