Whine, whine, whine....

Yup...it is getting to be about that time. The time where being pregnant just sucks, at least with two. I don't know about with 1, but at this time frame 2 is really killing me.

I went to the doctors yesterday and the boys fought so much when they were trying to monitor them for contractions that they ended up having to monitor them separately.

I sort of screwed myself into being pregnant 6 days longer as well. I had a c section scheduled for April 1st. I didn't love the date but I also had only met the doctor one time and wasn't thrilled that she would be doing it. I was going to talk with her a little bit tomorrow because my appointment was with her.

I really wanted my favorite doctor. The one who I have been seeing all along. The one who deals very well with all my craziness and neurotics. Well, she saw me going into the room and she decided she would see me yesterday instead of the other doctor and I discussed my concerns with her about the other doctor doing my section. She said she was more than happy to do it and that she was on that Saturday and that they usually don't do non-emergency sections on weekends but that if a doctor okays it and the hospital okays it, then it's a go and she said she would try to work it out.

So I got a call an hour later saying the hospital wouldn't do that Saturday but that Dr. T was on that Thursday, the 7th. So now my c-section is April 7th...be there at 11 am. 6 days longer.

I told Dr. T yesterday that my ribs hurt and she said after hearing the boys fight yesterday she is surprised that I haven't any broken ribs by now. I also complained about not being able to breathe well sometimes, and not being able to catch my breath. She seems not all surprised by any of this. What she did seem surprised by is that I am almost 33 weeks and made it this far without even one visit to the hospital...and that I have come this far without complications. She said I could go into labor any minute now and she is doubtful I will make it to 38 weeks, but we will see.

One new thing that is very problematic is it seems I have pregnancy carpal tunnel. It has only reared its ugly head the last few days but boy does it suck. It really sucks at night, it sucks when I want to do something and can't feel my right hand at all. She said it should get better by 8 weeks post birth, but could take up to 12 weeks.

Other things...I am tired, it takes every ounce of energy to do almost anything, even get in and out of my car. Trying to get comfy at night and rolling over is impossible. It is just getting worse and worse. The babies each gain about half a pound a week now, so they are growing in leaps in bounds and just getting huge....and that just makes me all that much more uncomfy. And I can't imagine it getting any better...just worse.

I made it to 33 weeks, but seriously guys...I am waving the white flag. I am done. I hurt and hurt and cry and cry and really don't know how I will do this for much longer. I am getting depressed and my motivation to do anything is almost never there. :-(


Sorry to be the Debbie downer of the day....but I just need to vent...
