35w3d

I've been having a lot of appointments as of late due to the pre-e and gestational diabetes.  At the last growth scan on Friday, it was difficult for them to get all of the measurements because the boys are getting so big. :)  They estimate that Baby A is 5 lbs. 10 oz and Baby B is 4 lbs. 13 oz.  The flow of blood through their cords is also slowing down which is prompting a 37w delivery.  Baby A is still breech so we will most likely be having a c-section.  If by some miracle Baby A flips then we will have an induction around 37w instead.

My blood sugars seem to be controlled with the diet change and meds for now.  It's crazy, but now that I can't have certain things, they are ALL that I crave.  Things I haven't had forever- like doughnuts.  But the good news is once I am delivered my blood sugars should return to normal within a few hours and I can then have sweets again. :)  

My blood pressure is still a bit high, but they aren't too concerned especially with as frequently as I'm being seen.  Most weeks I have at least 3 Dr appointments which include 2 NST's and 1 BPP u/s.
I can't believe that my boys will be here so soon!  I'm really going to miss feeling them move and squirm in my belly.  I can't wait to see them and see what they look like and get to know their personalities out of the womb.  I feel like I have a good idea of their personalities in the womb already and they are two very different little boys. :)

Hubby and I are trying to enjoy our last few weeks as a couple.  It's been nice to have this last Christmas together as a couple and imagine how different our next holiday season will be. :)  We were hoping to go out to eat and maybe a movie but it's so hard with my bedrest restrictions.  Plus, most days I just don't feel like going out.  We have been watching a lot of movies at home, which has been great.
