People constantly tell me how I don't look 28 weeks pregnant with twins. I think they need to get their eyes checked. I certainly look it. And I most certainly feel it. I still remain on target for weight gain and the babies are growing as expected. Baby A's weighing in at 2 lbs 3 oz and Baby B's 2 lbs 14 oz. I still have a placenta previa and if it remains its a scheduled c-section at 36 weeks. That's only 2 months aways!
Before I start my whoa me, because I'm gonna, I want to convey that I actually feel pretty good for carrying two babies for 28 weeks. My back pain comes and goes. It got so bad while driving this week I was wishing for an early epidural. And what's with the upper right sided chest pain? I had this with Ryan too and its awful. Today was the first day I noticed my ankles disappear (no worries, they came back after kicking up my heels for a few hours). Sleep is a joke. Combine the wild vivid dreams, the need to repeatedly pee, hip pain, and the required 3 point turns to change positions and sleep is very limited. I won't even address the exhaustion. And then theres the occasionally feeling that the boys are trying to crush my pelvis, thats fun.

All of this aside, I feel pretty good for being so big. I'm still able to do whatever I want, just a little slower. I still pick Ryan up throughout the day (though I do ask him to walk and hold my hand a bit more than before). I'm still working my regular 2 days a week (though it takes me much longer to get to and from the parking garage). While I'm not enthused with being pregnant for another 8 to 10 weeks, I do hope they stay put as long as possible. First and foremost for their health but also for the fact we'll be moving in 5 weeks (oh, and I haven't even ordered their crib yet!).
