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.
