I had a perinatologist appt yesterday.  I was lectured about the weight loss.  She was telling me that apparently, redheads like to bleed, and with the weight loss, will come anemia.  Add that to my c-section, and I should apparently be force-feeding myself.  I did point out that I am on iron pills, so she said I might be okay.

So there I am, 32 weeks with twins, and my fundus measurement was only 34 weeks.  Not sure what’s up with that.  I do know that both heads are at opposite sides of me.  Maybe that makes a difference.  Measureing only two weeks ahead with twins doesn’t seem anywhere near enough.  She said that I am small-looking for twins.  They were measuring in the 83 percentile at the last ultrasound.  I guess I have to wait for Monday to see where they are now.

It’s sorta funny, because the way I’m carrying is all out front.  I can’t get XL shorts to fit over my belly.  I walk around with a permanent wedgie, because I have to pull the pants up enough to where they aren’t falling down that there is no fabric left in back.  If I face you head on, the widest part of me is my hips.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t have any hips.  I swear, it truly looks as though I just picked a basketball off the ground and stuck it under my shirt.

Anywho, our current timeline is:

Closing on new house one week from today

Moving into new house one week from tomorrow

Ultrasound for measurements on Monday

Scheduled c-section 6 weeks from tomorrow
