I posted some pictures in a private entry so if you’re awesome enough to be an advanced subscriber, then go check them out!

Ughhhh I am getting soooo uncomfortable lately. My back is officially killing me. It’s my upper back though, so that’s kind of odd. The front of my body right under my boobs at the top of my uterus is so sore and if you go from there around to the back, that’s where my back hurts. Right under my shoulder blades. Weird. I was at the mall today and I was trying to walk fast and my body seriously would not go any faster than a slow waddle. I can feel so much pressure on lower stomach/pubic region. I think both babies are still breech because I can feel them both kick me really low. Their kicking is actually starting to hurt. I can tell when Emma has her foot pressing on my cervix because I’ll have this sharp pain from inside me down through my vagina. That sounds pretty funny but it’s true! And if I have to pee…. I better get to a restroom ASAP because I swear they kick me more when I have to pee. They won’t be moving at all but once my bladder gets to the point where I need to go, they start kicking up a storm! If I didn’t have good muscle control, I swear I would have peed my pants 1,000 times by now. Imagine having to pee really, really bad and then getting to the restroom and you’re about to go and all of a sudden you stop yourself! That’s what it feels like. I know you wanted to know that.
They are seriously getting so big. It’s cute though. You can actually put your hands on my tummy and feel where each of them is at. Ava’s head is usually always in the same exact spot and if you push on it, it feels like its RIGHT on the other side of my skin. I’m now measuring at 34 weeks. I feel soooo stretched! But, no stretch marks yet!!! Sometimes it hurts to stand up straight because I can feel so much pulling.
My weight gain so far…. 32lbs. My doctor said that’s right on target so yay for that but I can definitely feel it in my knees. How long do you think it’ll take me to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight? I’m guessing……… I’ll be back down to normal size by my 23rd birthday. If I deliver in the beginning of June then that’s about 4 months. It’s basically all baby weight so I wouldn’t be surprised if I was back to normal before then. Yes… the extra fat on my ass counts as “maternal stores” which are necessary for sucessful baby building. Actually, Preston doesn’t want me to lose the weight in my behind so maybe I won’t try too hard. I have to be tone though and not flabby (that’s my requirement, not his) so I am really looking forward to being able to work out again.
Oh and I got my glucose test results back and I’m all good there but I do have a pretty low iron count so I have to take a supplement twice a day. And we have our next ultrasound on the 10th so I’m excited for that.

Anyway, I need to get off of here and go make dinner. I’m making my famous meatloaf. Okay so I’ve never actually made meatloaf before, but once I do… it’ll be famous (for being good, not for being bad!).

    Make Preston give you a really good back massage. =)As much as I love my boys…I don’t miss being pregnant (at least 7-9 months pregnant). You make it look great though *jealous*.

    Heh Heh. I remember all of this all too well. I had the same strange pain right underneath my boobs on top of my uterus. The reason the babies start kickin when your bladder is full is because they are getting even more cramped due to the full bladder. They are telling you, “Heh woman, deflate. There’s not enough room in here as it is”
