31 weeks

How far along? 31 weeks! Woohoo!  Good news is that they are still inside me, with no signs of coming out. Bad news is that they are still teeny tiny, so will probably need a stay in NICU even if I make it to 36 or 37 weeks L
Baby size: TW1 was 1.1kg and TW2 was 1.3kg at last week’s growth 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: TW1 is breech and sitting on my right hand side. TW2 is kind transverse  with head on my left hand side..More head down now though.
Total weight gain/loss: current weight is 62.5kg.
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. Had one horrendous night where I was up 4x times in the middle of the  night (pee breaks) and then to top it off, Josh woke me up twice to tell me to stop snoring. I was so tired I may have had a little cry when the alarm finally went off.
Best moment this week: Date night with Josh – we had food in the asian foodcourt and then watched the French movie “The Intouchables” at the Rialto. Great movie!
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 4 weeks ahead still.
Gender: Still playing the guessing game.
Symptoms: slow, walking funny, unstable pelvis, tired, restless legs, peeing all the time.
Labor Signs: No signs yet
Things I miss:  sushi and alchohol. Drinking as much tea as I want. Sleeping on my belly. Feeling energetic. And having lots of things to wear in my wardrobe. My choices are so limited these days.
Belly Button in or out? outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Shazzy is coming over! And Josh’s bday and Yum Cha for Siza’s bday!
