My itch has its good days and its bad days. This might be slightly due to the cooler nights that we have been experiencing. For those not in Brisbane we went from 30 degree days to 8 degree nights within a couple of days.
Luckily for this week we had 6 out of 7 good nights and really the 1 bad night I had wasn't too bad. I have got a daily routine now which includes 1 or 2 showers a day and a baby oil bath at night time followed by calamine lotion to my ankles and feet and what ever other body part decides it is going to be itchy on the night! Tonight it is my knees.
I went back to the obstetrician today and I have been booked for a c-section. I believe that he is worried that the boys have now become to big for me to deliver naturally without causing damage to my liver or gallbladder. We have been given our date and the boys will have a May birthday. We are keeping the exact date quiet at the moment mainly for two reasons. 1. We originally thought that I would be induced last week which changed so we do not want to get our hopes up until we know for sure. 2. We want the date to be a surprise.
The boys are kicking so much now. It is really funny to watch them when I am sitting on the couch and my entire stomach does a Mexican wave or I see a hand stretch out into the side of my belly button. It happens so often but is really hard to catch on camera.
I weighed myself during the week and I was 82kg. This is the heaviest I have ever weighed which means that I have so far during this pregnancy put on 19kg. I am pretty happy with this weight as they do say the average weight gain for twins is between 15 - 20kg.
*Note - Had to change clothes as the size 10 black singlet that I wore throughout the entire pregnancy no longer fits me.
