30 week apt

Everything looks great! She said I'm doing perfectly at controlling the GD with diet and my numbers look great. I told her I am starving and I'm so sick of eating the same stuff,  she gave me a couple charts with ideas but nothing exciting or new on there. I'm going to try to just eat bigger snacks. I gained 2 pounds this week, anything is good although its mostly just baby. Believe me I am okay with that!! As long as they are getting what they need, the less that goes on me the better!
Today she said they won't induce until 38 weeks, if I don't go into labor before. (Unless of course something is wrong) my luck, after all the stress and high maintenance of this pregnancy that's exactly what will happen! I know The longer they are in, the better. But, once we get through a few more weeks I will be excited that will be like torture!! Even still, the longest possible is 71/2 more weeks!! I'm having the BEST birthday EVER this year!!

The big 30!!

Its a little bit surreal that I am 30 weeks today. Im so excited I can't even stand it! I can't wait for them to be here!
Im totally over GD, I am sick of testing my blood, timing eating and eating the same stuff everyday. Im done with it!!! Its beyond me that anyone would live with type 2 diabetes when its curable, and not have to live like this!
Anyway not much to report, same old same! Doing good,  getting big. The babies move a lot and im absolutely starving all of the time. I can't understand how im not gaining weight!

29 week appointment

I had a little check up yesterday, thankfully everything looks great! For the most part im kicking butt with the diabetes.( Except the weight gain, nothing again this week!) But, My numbers are almost always low, occasionally my body processes something weird and it jumps up a little. She said because of the gestation they expect that to happen and they will bump up the meds, but nutritionally im doing perfect!
The doctors are requiring jason and I, our parents, siblings and any other friends and family members who plan to spend a good amount of time with the babies- to get a vaccination. Its called DTaP and now its becoming such a big deal any doctor or health department will have it. Its basically a booster of the vaccines you had plus prevents pertussis. Which essentially is whooping cough. But for an adult it can seem just like a nagging cough and for a baby, especially multiples with weakened immune systems- it can become as serious as causing brain damage or death. So as you can guess im going to be pretty strict about it. Its just not a huge deal to get a shot to protect them. You have to get it a couple weeks before they come (or your around them) and can't be around me for 48 hours after. Pretty simple precaution! 
They are moving a ton all the time which is awesome.  You can see it from the outside sometimes,  its crazy!
Now that im on a limited diet and can't eat anything bad, I have the hugest craving for a cinnabon! I could totally eat a whole big one! Yum!! And quit frankly I could really use the calories ;)
I feel so tired always  from all the broken sleep,  but im not complaining. Thankful I don't have to work right now! Ive decided all women should get the majority of their pregnancy off work! (Thankully there are companies like Aflac, or i would of never been able to- and then what would of happened!!)
I can't believe im almost 30 weeks! It is exciting! An other month or so and they are really going to be here!! YAY!!

Getting enormous!

I had to break down today and order bigger maternity tops, the mediums don't even cover my belly any more!!

TWENTY NINE WEEKS!!

According to baby center this morning, The babies are the size of butternut squash now.
This was thankfully an uneventful week. Im still taking procardia every four hours around the clock to help keep the contractions away. I have some occasionally,  but nothing abnormal for 29 weeks with twins. Ever since the little scare last weekend we realized just how soon they can be here! Were hoping for 4-7 weeks, but who knows! Jason was very busy getting stuff put together and rearranging this weekend.  I was a great supervisor! I spent about 15 minutes every morning this week,organizing clothes and stuff. It was hard to make myself stop! I got this cute little organizer for their closet, They have an awesome walk in closet. Thankfully, we need the room for all their stuff!!
The rocking chairs are put together, beds are ready to go, we made a mach nursery in the living room. We are ready!
We did a quick wheel chair trip to babies r us today and got a few last things. It was so fun! Besides that its so nice to get out and feel normal,  I seriously think shopping is like a drug,  especially for such exciting stuff! (I can admit I love to shop so much I don't even mind grocery shopping but still, it was super fun!)
I could spend a million dollars on clothes, although i refrained-  and didn't buy any... there is this designer named Amy Coe who makes the girliest, cutest stuff ever!
But they got plenty spoiled and at least for the first three months, don't need anything!
We also found some better wall hangings for Dillon. I wasn't loving the ones we had! Yay! 
Now back to the couch and on my serious time schedule!
Love that we are getting so close! although it would be a couple weeks sooner than id like, wouldn't 11.11.11 be an awesome birthday! !!

28 weeks!! 7 months!!! 3rd trimester!!!!

Im unbelievably happy to hit this milestone. It took a rough patch to get here!! Im getting ready to leave the hospital. We've been here for about 36 hours now for contractions. They are being super stubborn, shocking right! Yesterday they gave me one shot 4 times that was suppose to stop them with no response. They then moved to a different one, same thing. Third shot plus two pills and 24 hours later they calmed down. Not stopped but controlled . Now I have to continue these pills every 3 hours. They finally gave me steriod shots for the babies lungs just in case in turns/ turned into labor.
I have an appointment Tuesday and im praying they don't put me on full bed rest, light rest has been hard enough especially with Jasons schedule. 
It was a rough experience and I was a serious pin cushion. On top of all the shots it took a total of six tries to get my iv in. They had to get an anesthesiologist to do it and the only place that would work was in the inside of my elbow, where they normally take blood.
Im on such a timed schedule now with blood tests 4 times a day, pills every 3 hours,  an eating schedule and for someone who didn't plan on even taking Tylenol pregnant,  now im on like 20 drugs.
With that said im so thankful to hit 28 weeks when a baby can survive out of the womb,  healthfully.
Every week the better, hopefully we can get an other month of not longer.

27 week appointment

I have shocking news, as it turns out I stressed for nothing! Like I said shocking!
Because we switched from two hour tests to one hour, the number went up and she forget to tell me (so not completely my fault). as it turns out I only actually had a few high numbers and that's it. AND I don't have to be quit as strict about the dieting. I can still have up to 200 carbs a day, just the right ones at the right times. Phew! That all takes a lot of stress off, I've always been a healthy and eater and nutrition is probably the subject im most educated on in life. It was making no sense why it wasn't working!
Im pretty sure my belly got bigger over night, its so weird how you can just tell. With the "diet " I only gained a 1/2 pound this week which means it must of been all baby. Ill do better this week.
Although I paid for it yesterday, I had a great day Sunday! My sister through a great baby shower. It was fun to get ready and get out of the house. I got to see so many friends and family members. Even though There is never enough time to talk long enough to everyone, it was wonderful to see everyone! For as much as I hate being the center of attention and have a hard time when people buy me things, it ment its that much closer! And my friends who know how uncomfortable it makes me, kept reminding me it was for Dillon and Taylor not me. Which helped a lot!! The first present I opened was from Jason! It was such an adorable surprise. He got me a new camera which I have been desperately wanting!  Its really nice and also does video!
We got spoiled rotten, and now it looks like baby tornado went through our house!
This "nesting " time is something I will never forget. Baby gear and items are spread throughout the house, half opened boxes are everywhere, equipment is getting put together and each day the house is a little more ready to bring babies home too. You can't look around without smiling or breath without smelling that smell of baby, from lotions and diapers etc... (the smell I used to jusr walk down the isle at the grocery store and  dream about). Its so amazing watching it all become a reality! !
Im so excited I can hardly stand it!

Crabby!

I am cRaBbY today! Gestational diabetes is more stressful then ivf. I think im doing so good and then my numbers are high. The diet is so strict, and to follow it and still eat enough to gain weight is ridiculous. I feel like all I eat is dairy and nuts. Especially when you have to eat every two hours. And you have to pay attention to fetal movement,  like I need a reason to worry!!
And if the weather would actually feel like fall, I would have clothes to wear. Its a good thing I can't leave the couch because at this point the only clothes that fit, are Jasons workout clothes! (Jason bought me the best dress for tomorrow!!)
A client gave me bags of winter clothes, they are mediums I hope they will get my through, I've quickly grown out of my maternity clothes. Every week the shirts get a little shorter and tighter :) but maternity clothes are so expensive and I only have about 8 more weeks to go, so I really don't want to spend money on them! Although i get sick of looking like crap all the time, its not like i can go anywhere anyway!!  Plus, Id much rather buy stuff for Dillon and Taylor! !!!
Good news tomorrow is 27 weeks! Wahoo!
