I've gained a total of 40 pounds now. But everyone I saw this weekend raved about how small I looked. Hmmm. Normally I would assume it was just family trying to be nice, but enough people said it to me that I've started to wonder. Am I measuring small? The twins certainly aren't -- at every ultrasound so far, they've measured right on track. And I've certainly gained a normal amount of weight for a twin mom. But maybe I'll have my doctor measure me at my appointment this week. I'm curious!
I'm feeling decent. The same old issues are bothering me (carpal tunnel, back pain, etc), but in general I'm still pretty lucky to be feeling this well 29 weeks into a twin pregnancy.
I am thrilled to report that my ankles are not swollen. Woo hoo! At 29 weeks with CC, they had been swollen for several weeks and I was already wearing compression hose. I know that every pregnancy is different, and maybe I wouldn't have gotten swollen this time around anyway. But all the water I've been drinking, and putting my feet up as much as possible, definitely hasn't hurt. I've worn sandals every single day for over a month now, and I'd like to keep it that way!
The twins weigh just under 3 pounds each now (roughly the size of butternut squashes) and are approximately 15 inches long. Their skeletons are hardening, so I'm under orders to consume a lot of calcium in the next few weeks. No problem -- I love cheese and milk!
