30 weeks!

How far along? 30 weeks! Woohoo!
Baby size: TW1 was 1.1kg and TW2 was 1.3kg at today’s scan. So both over 2 pounds but TW1 is below the “small but normal” range and TW2 is right on the “small but normal” line.
Babies positions: Both are breech. We had a terrible time trying to figure out who was TW1 and who was TW2. Finally figured out that TW1 is on my right hand side, leading and bottom first. TW2 is a bit higher up on my left hand side and also bottom down.
Boy do they move around a lot!
Total weight gain/loss: current weight is 61.3kg. Biggest jump in weight so far I think!
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way (or leggings/baggy dresses).
Stretch marks? Nothing yet.
Sleep: So hard to fall asleep. My legs get sore or restless and I toss and turn. And tossing and turning is no easy feat! My pelvis feels so unstable so changing positions in bed is scary. I try to lie on my left hand side as much as possible, but lying on my back is still the most comfortable. But once I fall asleep, I usually manage to sleep until the alarm goes off. Or I’ll have one pee break and that is it.
Best moment this week: Hanging out with Alysha over the weekend.
Movement: Feeling kicks or little flailing arms, from both inside and outside. And rolls. And occasionally feel a hard bottom or leg or foot/ head pressed up against my tummy.
Food cravings:  No real cravings at the moment.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing much
Have you started to show yet: Yes! No hiding it. Measuring about 4-6 weeks ahead at the moment.  
Gender: Still playing the guessing game.
Symptoms: slow, walking funny, unstable pelvis, tired, restless legs, peeing all the time, bloody nose.
Labor Signs: No signs yet
Things I miss:  sushi and alchohol. Drinking as much tea as I want. Sleeping on my belly. Feeling energetic.
Belly Button in or out? outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: 
The weekend and sleeping in! And finding and reading the hypnobirthing  book. I’m gonna need all the help I can get if I have to deliver these babies naturally. Eeeep!

Sidenote:  We found out that the babies have hair! 7mm long. Oh so cute!! And we saw TW1 "practice breathing" and TW2 had hiccups, poor wee mite!
