Late Update!

I am almost 33 weeks now! I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has flown by! I expected it to drag quite a bit, but it has not at all... I am amazed when I turn over a new week every Wednesday!

I had my 32 week appt last Wednesday and it was such a debacle! First of all, I will no longer be getting u/s every week bc my body cannot handle them. I blacked out on the table! So, my next growth scan will not be at 34 weeks, but instead at 36 (so a full month after my last!)... it kind of bums me out bc I love to see my little ladies on the screen, but at the same time, I cannot handle blacking out, seeing stars, and sweating buckets as I try to regain my composure.

Some other news... both girls are pretty small still! Baby A weighs about 3.6 and Baby B 3.8. Both girls are still breech and head to head, facing each other. My OB said he believes neither baby will turn 1) because my hips did not spread, so there is no room for them 2) they love, love, love being together, and because of that, they are going to stay breech bc there is more room for them up top that down below. I am still keeping my fingers crossed that one will move at the last minute, but for now, C-section date is for 38 weeks, March 23rd, if they don't decide to come before then! I would LOVE for them to stay inside babies until at least March 23rd, to gain every single ounce possible! I want to avoid the NICU if at all possible!

My iron level is slowly creeping up! Yeah me! It went from 8.5 to 9.2 in 2 weeks, which to me, is awesome! My OB did not think it was awesome, but he definitely liked that there was progress being made. He really wants it at 10 or above for delivery with hopes to avoid a blood transfusion. Me too :)

Here's what we looked like at 32 weeks (I am getting bigger by the minute!!!):


And, one of the babies (my OB didn't know which, bc this is precisely the time I blacked out on the table and he was trying to help me):
