Coming Early? Oh Nooooo!!!

I've been dreaming of preterm labor a lot lately, and I was freaking out (in my dreams). Though it's only dreams, it still worries me. The twins are at higher risk than all singleton babies for all sort of genetic disorders, birth defects, and prematurity. As helpless as I feel, the only thing I can do for them is to eat well and rest well. Sound easy?!? Yet 'house arrest' is not fun, and somehow make eating well and resting well difficulty. Since I'm not doing much, I always want to eat junk food. Since I'm resting all day long, I always want to do something (like cleaning, which I'm not supposed to). Yet I know I should cherish the time because once the twins are here, I'll never have quite time to eat or rest.

Week 25 & Week 26

Didn't update for 2 weeks.
Well, I can feel the babies' movements a lot more now, sometimes they hurt. Preston can feel them, too. It's really cool but it can get annoying. Sometimes they sleep a lot longer than usual, I would try to wake them up just so make sure they're okay. It's scary not knowing how they're doing in there. I'm looking forward to next week doctor's appointment and ultrasound =). Now I'm just very moody, and being on 'house arrest' doesn't help.

Now that I'm on bed rest. I have plenty of time to read.

The Beginning of Bed Rest

23 weeks 6 days:

Had a little scared today. I was cramping on the way to church, so we went home and called the doctor. The doctor told me to go to the hospital for a check up. We were there for more than 4 hours... They think I might not be hydrated enough. Apparently, dehydration can cause contractions or contraction-like symptoms :P Oops~ The doctor said I should minimize all activities now, put up the feet to let the blood flow toward the uterus. I guess my bed rest has official began.

I'm THIS Big!

22weeks





18weeks












This is how much I grew in 4 weeks!

How big will I get?!?

Getting Heavy

Week 22:

I didn't have to get up to pee in the middle of the night the past two nights. I think they might have moved up a bit, and not sitting on my bladder anymore. It's really nice, but they're getting really heavy. I notice breathing is a bit more difficult when I'm sitting down. It's getting quite uncomfortable. I'm as big as someone who are thirty something weeks, AND I STILL HAVE 15 MORE WEEKS TO GROW!!!! @_@
