Good news! We are at our 30 week milestone today! Whew, need to go 2 more weeks to hit our next big milestone of 32, then 34, then every day after that. Our doctor would like us to go to 36 weeks, but we will take what we can get and not jeopardize any one's health. Everyday is getting harder, all of my joints hurt (hands, back, knees, right shoulder and hips). I think it might be the weight. I have gained 40 lbs so far with the three little ones. I am sure I will gain more over the coming weeks. I am on a strict diet now from the Gestational Diabetes. So far my blood sugar has been in the normal range after meals. That is a relief, hopefully this will continue so I do not have to go on insulin.
I have been taking baths at night (98.5 degrees or less) and my belly sticks up out of the water. The boys love this time, they move around so much (rolling, kicking and punching) it is incredible to watch. The baths really help my back and my swelling, plus we can read to them while we are watching and feeling the activity. Pretty cool stuff. Everyone is fighting for space in there. It should be interesting in the next weeks as they will pack on another pound or two each.
Next week we have a cervix length check plus a quick peek at the boys. They are getting so big that it is hard to see much of anything anymore. I will post what we see next week.
Wish us luck to our next milestone - 32 weeks.
