29 week update

 
I am now 30 weeks - yippee! I have started to "hit the wall" in regards to comfort. It takes me at least a half-hour, and multiple pillow arrangements, to find a comfortable sleeping position... Then I wake up an hour later to pee, and start all over again. I've also been getting headaches that have made it hard to sleep. Lately I've been heading down to the couch in the middle of the night due to hip pain and a change of scenery. Thank God I can usually sneak a nap in during the day :)

Because I can only stand on my feet for a limited time, I recently purchased a shower chair - which I love! I also may be getting a wheelchair which I never thought I'd be excited about, but I'd be able to get out of the house more, so it's sounding pretty liberating. Yesterday we took advantage of the heat (it was the hottest day In L.A. EVER on record at 113) and spent some quality time in the pool. If it weren't for turning into a prune, I would have spent the whole day in the pool!

As of my last appointment (29w 3d) my cervix is still holding strong at around 4. My weight went up another 3lbs, so I've now gained a total of 49lbs. My BP is still good at 110/60. I passed my 1 hr glucose test, so one less thing to worry about! Again my peri didn't mention bedrest, but said to continue to float in the pool and try to stick to the couch.
I will post a more thorough update on the babies after this weeks growth scan. I can't wait to see out cute babies again!
