Hello my wonderful readers. We are now in the 3rd trimester!!! I cannot believe how fast the time is going by with these babies and pretty soon we will be holding two newborns! Crazy!!
Week 28
The week started off good relaxing Monday and then on Tuesday we went to a small local pumpkin patch with our Moms group and Penelope had a lot of fun. Tuesday was also a particularly hard day for her and she screamed all day it seemed like. I think we are for sure entering the terrible twos. I think just having a hard day and all with her made me really stressed and bending over to pick her up too much made me have quite a few Braxton Hicks contractions, by the end of the day Aaron had to take over and I had to go to bed early so I could get things to feel better, they eventually went away and both me and Penelope slept really good that night. Wednesday and Thursday turned into relaxing movie days where we both just drank lots of water and took it easy. Friday Penelope had her two year check up (future post on this). The week ended with another visit to a pumpkin patch with my family, we started a family tradition this is the third year (this will also be in a future post). Also on Saturday we said good bye to one of our friends from church that we will miss so much as they move to the East Coast, you can follow their journey at domesticfashionista.com. We will miss them! The week ended on Sunday me having to go do my 3 hour glucose test due to failing the 1 hour last week.
Week 29
The week started with a regular doctors appointment. Both babies have great heartbeats, my blood pressure is good and I gained 2 lbs. Other than that we decided on a scheduled c-section that will be discussed as we get closer to the time the babies should arrive and determine when to do it based on how they are developed. Other than that I am just tired and starting to enter that uncomfortable stage as I just get bigger by the second. I passed the 3 hour glucose test and do not have gestational diabetes. Overall we are all 3 doing good and just getting bigger. Tuesday we had moms group and life group which made for a really long day. Wednesday was a relaxing play day and Thursday was relaxing as well just had bible study at night. Friday we went down the street to the community center in our costumes (see other post for pictures) for Penelope's first trick or treating experience. I think she was having fun but also was a little scared of all the people dressed up. The week ended with an exhausting emotionally up and down weekend. Saturday we dropped Penelope off with my mom and drove a couple hours to watch some friends get married at a beautiful place, at the reception we had a whole lot of delicious food that my pregnant self was so thankful for. We had decided to stay the night in a hotel close the the reception instead of driving so much back home and to have one more romantic night away before the babies come. About 9:30pm my mom called me and told me my grandma had passed away. Sunday we left the hotel super early and got to my parents house to get Penelope and go see my grandpa. All the emotion really took a toll on me and for sure caused me to have a few Braxton Hicks but Aaron was able to calm me down and they went away, thank the Lord for good husbands. Hopefully the next few weeks are a little better.
