See ya...

So it seems that someone who I thought was a friend has been reading here and taking things that I've posted and telling them to mutual aquaintences, despite my specifially asking that that NOT happen a while back.

Making this an unsafe place to post.

So I'll be signing off now and I'll see y'all when I'm back to talking about nothing but fitness.

And no, there will be no further pregnancy updates. Sorry.

iPod revisited...

So... I know I asked for folks to click on my iPod link a while back... and a lot of kind folks signed up, and I super appreciate that, but if you don't actually complete an offer on the site... it doesn't count for anything.

I currently sit (after about a year) with 2 completed referrals (YAY!!!) and I need a total of 3 more to get the iPod for my sweetie... so I have an offer for ya:

Sign up, complete an offer, and as soon as your offer shows up as "completed" I will pay-pal you how ever much it cost you to complete the referral. Most are less than $10, so even at $30 its a great deal for an iPod (at least in my book).

Anyone wanna? If you do, email me so I know who you are if/when you sign up!

OK... other news... both babies are breech: PLEASE SEND HEAD-DOWN thoughts, vibes, spells, incantations, prayers, feelings, rituals, or anything else you can think of to these boys. The OB said at the last ultrasound that its unfortunate they're both boys... because men have no sense of direction, and they're not likely to ask either. If at least one of them were a girl, she'd most certainly get them going the right direction.

Have I mentioned that I TRULY love my OB? (Even as a die-hard midwife advocate!)

I'm alive, I swear

Mom's been here for a couple of weeks which has been AWESOME. She's helping finish all of the projects around the house that we never seem to find the time to do. She's takin care of me and the boys as well and I've got a freezer full of lasagne to prove it.

Twins are still kickin-it old skool inside the ol' ute. (damn I crack myself up sometimes). They seem to love 80s pop and strawberries which I take to be good signs over all. My health is good... weight just topped 215 (DAMN!!!), for a total gain of 45lbs and I'm stoked that I'm down to a month and a half(tops) of pregnancy left. If I don't go into labor by 38 weeks we're scheduling an induction for that week and honestly, I think I'll be ready.

Overall I'm still pretty comfortable. The burping and aspirating food in the middle of the night is a bit problematic (and FREAKY) and my low back is definitely sore and every now and then I get shooting pains in the groin area if I twist or stand up too quickly. Our next ultrasound is on the 29th and they'll estimate sizes again. Last time they were 3lbs each (we go a month between growth-scans) so I'm expecting a couple of 4lb babies at the next check.

I am big (huge even) you can check the gallery for the latest shots:

I am 31w2d today, and expecting to hit 36 easily... 4w and 5 days till "full-term"

Any bets on how big I measure around the belly? I'm not tellin, but if you guess right I'll confirm!

;)

29 weeks 2 days...

ok... who ever told me carrying twins was fun, needs to be shot.

It hurts to exist.

Just sayin.

In other news, I sleep about 2 hours at a stretch, until I need to turn over... then I have to wake up, re-situate and hope I can fall back asleep before the aching begins again.

The babies are about 3lbs each as of the ultrasound yesterday... and they're telling me I have 6-9 more weeks of this... They may turn out to be line-backers before they're born.

My glucose test was fine, I passed with flying colors. I have no swelling to speak of, I can eat about half a cup of food at a time so I'm eating every hour or so... which I hope is good for the metabolism, but I've never heard of that frequent of eating before so I don't know. ;)

I'm doing more seated resistance training than I had been at the recommendation of the nutritionist, and I do think it is helping the back and shoulder pain I was getting. Just REALLY low weights (3lbs dbs) doing lots of curls and shoulder presses and tricep extensions, etc.

Big thing now is that both babies are breech and I'm going to start doing some non-harmful things to try to encourage them to turn around. Moxibustion, laying angled down, pelvic rocks, etc. Wish me luck on that cause I REALLY don't want to have an automatic c-section.

OH... and Mommy comes to my rescue on Sunday! THREE CHEERS FOR MOMMIES!!! Seriously... if she weren't comming I don't know what I'd do.

*sigh*

ok... back to the feetsies up and day-time TV (gag!)
