27 Weeks

27 weeks. Fun things like heartburn, lack of sleep, hip pain, back pain, burps, farts and emotional meltdowns. I wouldn't trade them for my own private beach. I love having them with me 24/7 right now but I'm super excited to snuggle them once they arrive too. In some ways it still doesn't seem real, it almost feels like I am playing pregnant.

As you know I had an impromptu ultrasound this week because of no movement on the right side.. Baby B caused quite a scare! My glucose test was today. My doctor had me fast from 10 o'clock last night until the test at 9 this morning. Both me and the babies were starving!! I drank the lovely orange drink of love after they took my blood and then I waited an hour (20 min sleeping in my car) then they took my blood again. At that point I drove to Wendy's for breakfast. I was so shaky from fasting and then chugging sugar, it took a good couple of hours for me to level back out.

I will have my next ultrasound in two weeks, then another two weeks after that. Then I will have a weekly stress test at the hospital every Tuesday and an ultrasound every Thursday with my OB. Needless to say I will be missing a lot of work and seeing a lot of doctors until the boys get here. My doctor is super cautious and wants to monitor me as much as possible. I'm 100% fine with that!

I continue to read all of your blogs but I have sucked at commenting. Please know that I am  praying and cheering for all of my sisters that are still in the trenches! And I'm not just saying that.. I really do.

  4. Hope you passed your 1 hour test! I am sorry you felt yucky 20 min after drinking. I was lucky as I drank mine & had an u/s while I waited the hour. Helped me to forget @ the disgusting drink. I will be 27w this Monday & right there with you on being uncomfortable. Hoping for a smooth rest of our pgs!!!
