27 weeks or something like it

Ok so it's Wednesday, I technically turn 28 weeks tomorrow but I promised to blog every week of my pregnancy 25 weeks on and I'm not gonna give up.  The pic is from this morning, lovely no?  I am about to bust out of my biggest maternity clothes.  This week has been the first week that I've been tired of being pregnant.  I know I still have a long ways to go and I pray that I still at least 10 weeks to go but with the pain from my fall two weeks ago and justifiably feeling huge it's been a rougher week.  I decided to break it into the bad and the good.

THE BAD:

Having to sit all the time on a bottom that doesn't want you there. 
Running out of clothes that will provide full coverage of the tummy.
Having your doctor look at your stomach and say "Awww poor belly."
Trying to nest when you get winded and tired so so easily.
Having a blood pressure of 90/58, seriously that low.  I get dizzy and tired ALL the time.

THE GOOD:
Feeling these babies squirming and knowing that they are growing as they should.
Having a husband who puts up with your most bat crap crazy moments.
Your baby shower where some of the most special women in my life showered these twins with presents and diapers.
Having a blood pressure of 90/58 because there's a slim to none chance I'm developing pre-eclampsia.
People watching when they see me.  I get so much special treatment and I swear people are expecting me to drop a calf at any moment. 

Ok, enough with lists.  Things are about 50-50 this morning.  I'm not sleeping well and it's getting to me but luckily I'm not having any pre term labor symptoms or really any out of the ordinary full term pregnancy symptoms.  All that has really changed is that the mechanical wheelchairs at the stores are looking really good when I'm out and about. 

Ry, my sweet husband, has set up our room in preparation for the twins.  We now have a really tall bed and a sidecar crib.  I think it's going to work out really well when I'm recovering from my c-section and breastfeeding.  It's a pretty big change getting in and out of bed but its actually easier not to have to try to lift myself out of the bed in the morning.

Even though I was up half the night in one of my bouts with insomnia planning this blog post, the mind grapes (30 Rock, gotta love it) have run dry so I'm gonna sign off for this week and I promise to come back next week much more chipper and happy to be apart of this wonderful process that is twin pregnancy.  Take care all!

P.S. My doc said yesterday at my appointment that he's shooting for December 15th with these babies so that means like 64 days.  Eeeekkk!  But I'm holding out for the day after Christmas cause I'm stubborn that way.
