haven't blogged for a while so it's time to catch up...
babies are now at 31 weeks. i have a new EDD of august 28. i'm going to ask doc if he'll push me up a week to the end of 36 weeks, becos august 27 is the boy's first day of kindergarten, and i want to be there for him. it's not fair to take away from his special day.
babies are now over 4 pounds a piece. i am now as big as i was when i had the boy. i hurt like hell, can't shit to save my life, and have heartburn 24/7. whenever i go out shopping, i get lightheaded. i'm tired all the time. and i have 6 more weeks of this.
the nursery is now finished. all that's left is the babies. and i don't want them to come until after august 10.
i have terrible cabin fever. i'm too tired to go out. shopping makes me tired. i'm sick of tv, reading, knitting and my ipod. i'm nesting but too tired to do anything.
i'm still not hungry for food. it's an effort to eat. i wish i was like this when i'm not pregnant! i could actually lose weight this way!
MIL's treatment plan has changed. the tumor was actually bigger than expected. she's having surgery this week to have the area "shaved" her chemo and radiation is now dependent on bloodwork.
i've been such a pissy bitch this week. i hate it.
i now know what it means to be so bored i could cry.

holy shit, i'm huge!
i'm now 2 weeks away from viability. YY are moving around a lot more. it's comforting to feel them. as long as i feel them a couple times a day, i feel like i'm not at risk of losing them. i am craving cheese, chips and salsa, and white meat chicken salad like crazy. my tailbone feels like someone kicked it in, and my crotch feels like it's getting split into two. today i had to sit down in church becos i got lightheaded.
late last week i was getting ready for my bath, and happened to catch a glimpse of me in the mirror. holy shit, is my belly huge! i'm 22 weeks now, and i'm as big as i was at the boy's baby shower, which i think was 32 or 34 weeks. dear Lord, what am i going to look like when i actually get to 32 weeks?!! i also noticed that my legs have gotten bigger, and this morning my arms looked huge in my dress. this is the sad result of not being able to do power laps in the pool! i'm trying so hard to not let it get me down and let go of the vanity, but it's really really hard, especially since it took so long to work my way into the smaller jeans. i told mom that as soon as my exercise restriction is up after the babies are born, i am getting another swim pass and swimming a couple days a week, and wearing double pairs of spanx.
yesterday mom took me out to lunch at olive garden and to get a crib at tRu. in addition to that, we got a packNplay, 2 boppies, 2 boxes of bottles, a glow worm, a glow seahorse, and a musical crib "aquarium". i offered to pay for some of the stuff but she refused. my mom and dad are so good to us.
mom's day was good, but quiet. spent lunch with mom and dad, came home and watched whatever martha while the boys were upstairs watching star wars. i had the odd thought that had we not lost ani, she'd be 5 months now. but i think being pregnant has definitely softened to blow of my loss last year. i can't believe it's almost a year already. some days it feels like it was just yesterday, yet other days it feels like it was an eternity ago.

week 10
i'm almost done with my first trimester. had my second puke today. i wonder if this will be an every week occurence.
this time around, i seem to have more aversions than cravings. meat makes me sick so i've been eating lots of produce. i think i've eaten more pasta over the past month than i have during the past year. but not just any pasta, no tomato sauce, no meat. veggie lasagna sounds good. i made sushi but i don't know if i'll eat it cos it looks pretty pathetic. i pick at my starbursts, and eat maybe a soft pretzel a day. no eggs. lemonade sits in my fridge now. gram's macaroni salad was so yummy this week.
i'm not as tired, and my boobs don't hurt as bad. but i puke and have some nausea, so that's good for me.
my mom has been gung ho on buying things for the babies. we went to a kid's shop monday that was having sale, and while we did get things for the boy, we got some things for the babies. 2 little matching noah's ark outfits (i don't plan on dressing them the same but the outfits were really cute, so once in a while will be okay). 2 little outfits that don't look alike but the colors coordinate. 2 cute outfits with puppies on them, with one coming with a blanket and cap. it's hard to buy for little ones when we don't know what we're having but the outfits can go either way. mom also bought a dust ruffle for the second crib and thankfully held off on a lamp, since i found my mom's night light when she was a baby. she also bought sage green sheets. in a blue and yellow room, they are going to look like hell. we have plenty of sheets but will need the mattress pads (one is currently on the boy's bed, used as a puke guard instead of a pee guard). we have so much already. can't go overboard now.
we are looking for a new van. we hadn't planned to buy a new vehicle but with 2 on the way there's no way they will fit in our small cars, along with our growing boy. both of our cars are old, my car is 13 years old, hubby's is 12. it's the first car i bought and altho it's mangy looking it has served me well. hopefully next week we'll buy the van we've been eyeing, hoping to catch some break.
