Saw the OB again today for another quickie appointment. I'm up almost 30 pounds which isn't too shabby considering the double load I'm carrying. I'm in week 31 and measuring as though I'm 40 weeks along which also isn't too shabby. I passed the gestational diabetes test so that's a load off my mind, and the dynamic duo have strong heartbeats and even stronger kicks and rolls.
Did I mention that my stomach itches like hell and I would cheerfully scratch off the skin a la Hannibal Lector if I could? Well it does. Holy shiznit it itches!
In other news, we had our first "Baby Shower" on Saturday. I hesitate to call it that since I loathe such parties with their pumped up peppiness and idiotic games. What we had was a lobster boil with all the trimmings and no one was allowed to eat without forking over a package of diapers. All guests cheerfully complied and once 45 lobsters and copious amounts of beer were consumed I tallied the count at a little over 1,700 diapers we received. Woo hoo! At the moment I can't think of anything worse than running out at 2 am to buy diapers (or trying to find a household substitute - yuck) so the generosity of everyone was very much appreciated.
So another OB appointment in two weeks, and more ultrasound pics on May 1. We'll see how much bigger they've gotten in four weeks. I fully expect to hear they are 25 pounds apiece considering the way I feel.
