So apparently the "fall" that I had talked about in the last post had no effect on the little nuggets (as many suggested it wouldn't - thank you) ...what a relief. My appointment on Monday went as well as I could have hoped for. The nuggets as my peri says are doing very very well. And are growing well. Our little girl nugget is averaging about 4 pounds and our boy nugget is 4.5 pounds. Both have the correct amount of amnio fluid still around them and there doesn't seem to be any issues. My blood pressure (knock on wood) still continues to be good.
And for all my worrying or should I say my mother who makes me worry, continuously telling me that I'm not "big enough" to be carrying twins...aka there must be something wrong; my ob is measuring me at 39 weeks even though I'm only 32. So there!
I feel as big as a house so that should make sense. The stretching is just insane at times and their movements and kicking has come to be almost abusive at times, which freaks me out and consoles me all at once. If that makes any sense. Other than that nothing else much to report...except that I seriously cannot walk very far now at all and have started (finally) feeling warmer. This whole pregnancy I've felt cold or normal I guess even though they say pregnant women should always feel hot. I can tell that I'm becoming by far more irritated. Especially at work. I consistently wonder how all these people are going to handle the simplest of duties when I'm gone...And everything just annoys me to no end. I am feeling a lot more tired now too and at times feel like taking a nap in the middle of the day...which I should really start giving in to.
All in all, I seriously just can't believe I'm at this point...I mean 8 months? I only have another month to go! Which I know will absolutely fly by. My goal still is to have them stay in there until my planned c-section. Still working 1/2 days from home and going into the office the other half, which for now is working fine...except for the fact that I'm fresh out of patience with everyone at work. But I guess that's all part of the fun. I'm convinced everyone has pregnancy brain and I don't ;) I still think pregnancy brain is a myth by the way...I feel it's simply what happens when a woman doesn't have caffeine for 9 months. Seriously anyone would forget things then!

1. I'm so excited for you and how well the babies are doing.
2. Don't worry about your Mom. Maybe she was a house when she was pregnant, but everyone carries differently. :)
3. Pregnancy brain is REAL. I felt like a complete space cadet the whole time, and I was drinking a cup of half-caf coffee every day (So I was getting half as much caffeine as usual, but still getting some!) If you're not forgetting things, consider yourself lucky!!
Wow. You are down to the wire. How exciting! I am just so thrilled and pleased and all that jazz for you.
And I giggled at your last post where someone asked you about what brand of diapers. Too funny. Up where I live, it is cloth or disposables?
