Pregnancy
I went shopping a little today and got a few preemie shirts. OMG. I seriously almost cried at how small they are!!! I’m so afraid of our babies being so tiny. I look at myself and I’m like “how the hell do I seriously have two babies in here?!?” Like really, where the heck are they? I’ve seen women carrying one at this stage who are way bigger than I am. It blows my mind! I can’t wait until our next sonogram so I can get an idea of how big they are. Our next one will be at 32 weeks. I’m not sure what the appointment is for on Monday, they didn’t schedule a sonogram so maybe I’ll be on the monitors again, and I know she’ll check my cervix. I’ve been drinking a lot more water since Tuesday and I’ve cut out caffeine completely. I’m also making a point to stay away from excess salt. I read that all that can help with blood pressure so we’ll see. I’ve been testing my blood pressure and it’s been normal except for once…. but I was afraid the blood pressure cuff was going to chop my arm off from getting so tight so that may have had something to do with it being elevated! lol 
Those blood pressure cuffs freak me out.
Anyway, I got some more preemie diapers today too. Thinking about the number of diapers we’ll be buying and changing…. that also freaks me out! :shock: I think I’m going to buy more preemie stuff than I intended. I don’t know why I wasn’t going to buy much preemie stuff… I guess I just figured they could wear newborn sizes but I really don’t want them swimming in their clothes.
Well, there’s a circus in my belly so I’m going to go lay down!

Hasn’t the doctor been saying all along that the babies are growing perfectly? I think they’re probably doing great.
I had no idea so many people’s babies wore preemie clothes for a while! I thought newborn was plenty small for most kids.

Aww, I remember when I was born, I was like 5 lbs, 6 oz? Something like that but, my mom always tells me how my dad was so scared even to hold me because I was so tiny, lol. But I’m sure your babies will be fine, think positive :]

you would be suprised at the size of your babies….even though you are small for carrying twins, you’d be amazed….i went into labor and delivery after my water broke, and they basically tried to tell me i was in the wrong place before i even got a word out…I carried grace in my back the entire pregnancy, so i was basically the size of a 3-4 month pregnant woman when i was actually almost 9 months…the downside….my backpain now is worse than it was when i was pregnant…not trying to scare u or anything…
so are the babies head up or down? and did they schedule an induction or c-section yet??

My sister and I were born earlier. Our due date was Jan 10th and my mom had us on Dec 14th and I think I was 5 pounds. I cant remember what my sister was. Dont worry too much about the size, if they come early of course they are going to be a little smaller, but as long as everything is ok then you have nothing to worry about. For the longest time my mom just kept us wrapped in blankets till we could really fit into anything.

Preemie clothes are always a good idea. My son who was my 1st born was 8lbs and wa sin preemie until 2 weeks old…and my daughter born 2 weeks early was 6lbs 13oz and was in preemie or the first month… u never know, and its always good to be prepared!!
The babies look awesome in the ultrasounds so I am sure they are doing just fine with growing!! Its Normal to worry though, like every mommy!
