32 weeks. Woo-flippin-hoo

Break out the champagne (Or sparking grape juice)  because I've now reached one of the biggest goal a twin mom can achieve. Only babies aren't supposed to be born at 32 weeks now are they? They will still have to be in the nicu for a long time. So why is it such a big goal? I guess babies born at 32 weeks do just as well as babies born full term in life. But they still have to go to the nicu and that doesn't set well with me.

So how am I feeling?! Like I have 2 32 week babies inside me that's how. (forgive me for being short today, I'm trying to sit up long enough to update before my back gets way to sore for me to sit anymore. Then I will lay down and pretty soon my hips will get too sore for me to lay down and it will just be a vicious cycle until I take Ambien tonight and get 3 hours of sleep before I'm sore again.) And that pretty much sums up how I'm feeling. I think I would feel better if I was allowed to go outside and swim a little. Now I know why twin moms are told to swim, because it takes the weight off. Speaking of weight, I haven't gained a single pound in a month, but the twins are growing like crazy so I guess that means I'm not eating enough to keep up with their nourishment and mine as well which would explain why I feel so miserable. But the food here is horrible, and since I have GD I have to eat very small portions of the regular meals they serve here. How dare they be asked to serve different food to people with diabetes, just serve the same food only make the potions extra small. Yeah that works. My blood sugar has been all over the place. First it's too high so they put me on meds to keep it down, now it's tending to be to low so they have to get me to eat something to get it back up again. So I eat something and then it's high again. My BP is also very low in the morning so I can't take my heart medication. Today it was 90/49.

Just a quick update since I'm starting to feel sick again, I'm contracting a lot. The ones that scare me are the ones that don't hurt. This is from a few days ago (my last contraction episode) 

They were coming 2 min apart. Not sure when I took this pic. They started to space out to 3 min so I'm not sure if this was taken when they were 2 min or when they were starting to space out. I was given IV fluid and they slowed down enough for everyone to be comfortable with where they were at. What hurts is when contractions don't show up on the monitor, just irritability. Irritability hurts so bad and what's frustrating is that nothing shows up so no one can figure out why I'm in so much pain except that my uterus just freaks out for awhile. Tomorrow I will know more because my doctor is back in the office.

That's all I can really update right now since my back is starting to hurt from sitting up. Maybe tomorrow I will know more. I also think I get a growth scan tomorrow.
