I am advanced!

I had another doctor appointment today and it went really well! Tim couldn't make this one, so my Mom came with me. It was so fun to watch her watch the babies on the ultrasound!! Seeing them moving in real time is much easier to understand than in pictures. I think she really enjoyed the experience.

I am doing really well - blood pressure, weight gain, pulse, etc... The babies all looked really good and are very, very active. In fact, poor little baby C (the boy) was getting kicked and punched in the head the whole time. He just slept through it. I guess the girls aren't too happy that he has his own room.

According to the book I should be about 10 - 15 pounds higher, but I am doing my best. It is so much easier now that food sounds good and I actually get hungry.

I have been feeling really big lately, especially at night when I try to turn over, so I asked the doctor about it and he measured me and I am as big as a 28 week singleton pregnancy. Which is 8 weeks ahead. So, see! I am advanced!!

In other news and for anyone who may read this in the future...If your hands and wrists hurt like crazy, it isn't in your head it is a real pregnancy complaint! In fact the doctor said I was the second person today with that problem!! It is carpal tunnel syndrome caused by edema in my wrists cutting into the tendon which then cuts into my nerves. I had to go get special wrist braces, and about 30 seconds after I put them on my hands felt better. It is really awkward to do stuff while wearing them, and they look silly, but it is worth it! No more hand pain!!!
