Aside from child birth, which has yet to make the list, I have found that the need to urinate is undoubtably the most uncomfortable state I have ever been in. Not just the fact that I have to pee every 15 mins for the last 2 weeks anyway, 'cause baby A appears to have found comfort with her head resting (by resting I mean pushing forcefully) against my bladder, but also drinking in preperation for an ultrasound that sometimes is 45mins to an hour late, all the while with your belly full of baby(ies). Thank Heaven that this whole water drinking process only has to be done in C'ton and not in Moncton as well. So for now it's only every 4 weeks...soon to be 2...then once...then twice/week...CRAP!!
So we had our reg biweekly ultrasound in Moncton yesterday and all is well. Babies are growing fast. They are approx. the same size (2 lbs and 2lbs 1oz). Positioning is another story, Baby A is very low and breach, and baby B is transverse and more to the right. Although from the feel of it I think they enjoy changing position quite frequently.
For those of you are still asking, still no strange symptoms like cravings (although yah! for lobster season and Sally's ice cream), strange dreams (who unlike my sister dreamed that her baby turned into a banana), streatchmarks (yet), you name it I probably have not had it.
Week 3 done for prenatal classes and a gold star for Scott, who has not fallen asleep during any..yet...even during 2 1/2 hours of breastfeeding!!
The nursery was officially started on the weekend, and after 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint (I had no idea that hideous blue was so bright) the room is now "Celestial Sun" (a.k.a Yellow) and the bottom 3 feet of the wall is "Egg Shell" Weinscotting board. Although the boards have yet to be painted and are still "Wood". My bed set is in (thanks Mom) . My crib will be in May 17th, so hopefully all the painting and molding will be finished by then, because on the 15th Scott starts fishing again!! This time of year was hectic to begin with...
So I guess that's all for my updating session. A BIG congrats to Myah who is expecting again in November. I jokingly said to her, as a small group still left in the area, we're doing a damned good job of repopulating this freakin' town!! Somebody's gotta do it...
I'll post some pics soon..Maybe I'll wait 'till Sunday, I'm sure there will be more than one camera pointing in the direction of my belly!!

hmm I was just thinking, I had a ultrasound at 31 weeks and I am certain that I didnt have to drink water anymore. I dont think you have to drink water after 30 weeks but I might be wrong...perhaps keep your fingers crossed
