34 week update


How far along? 34 weeks! Woohoo! 
Baby size: TW1 is 1.5kg and TW2 is 1.9kg at today's growth scan.
Babies positions: TW1 is breech with head on my left hand side (head is right under TW2’s bottom). TW2 is transverse with bottom on my left hand side and head on my right hand side.
Total weight gain/loss: current weight is 64.75kg.
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way (or leggings/baggy dresses).
Stretch marks? Yes! Just realised that what I thought was heaps of veins around my belly button are actually heaps and heaps of stretch marks.
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.
Best moment this week: Shazzy helping me get ready! She helped me pack my hospital bag (which had been sitting half packed for weeks) and also rearranged the nursery so it is all set to go.  Wait, was this this week? Make that last week! This week we took the grandparents to the Auckland art gallery to check out a photography exhibition from Brooklyn, followed by dinner at Chapel bar in Ponsonby. Also got my deluxe pedicure.
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.  Movements get extremely full on if I have chocolate. Will have to watch them with the sugar once they are born…
Food cravings:  Chocolate and all things naughty
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? off
Looking forward to: My last free Sunday with Joshy.
