The final countdown! I'm finally in the 30s, which means we have just nine weeks left before these babies join us. I couldn't be happier, for multiple reasons.
I've gained 42 pounds, and starting to feel it. I find myself tired after carrying CC upstairs, or asking MJ to slow down a bit on a walk around the neighborhood. It's embarrassing! I have to remind myself how much extra weight I'm carrying around, especially if I have CC in my arms. With our combined weights, I am lugging over 60 pounds that my body is not accustomed to having!
Fortunately, the last few nights have given me some unexpected relief from the carpal tunnel pain. But I'm not deluding myself into thinking it's gone for good. My appointment with the orthopedic surgeon is, disappointingly, not for another month. But I will see his PA this Thursday, and hopefully she will be able to help.
Babies this age are usually about 3 pounds, but we know from my appointment this past week that the Morrison twins are a bit larger. They are able to regulate their own body temperature, so they will begin to shed the coats of hair they've had until now. They have the proportions of newborns, but the biggest weight-gaining period is just beginning. From now on they will be gaining about a pound every 2 weeks. Goodness, I wonder how much that means I'LL be gaining?!
