I'm in the same boat girls...can't sleep again! The insomnia is back. Except now it's accompanied by total discomfort, leg and hip pain, stuffy nose, and getting up twice a night to pee (before for the most part, I only got up once a night to go to the bathroom), pelvic pain, and just general pain (can't even rotate from side to side without discomfort in my bump!). I'm starting to understand why people complain about the third trimester. But since it's still early on in the third trimester, I'm scared it's only going to get worse!!
So last week after we returned from our vacation and shower, I was in a bit of a panic mode thinking of how much there is left to do and DH was so nonchalant about everything which only made me more panicky. But luckily, we managed to get a lot done around the house this weekend, finished putting together the baby's dresser, and even got a few more big things that we still needed. One being the car seat...babies r us is having a sale through this weekend where you can get 15% off on all car seats/travel systems. So we went there, knowing exactly which one we wanted and another customer came up to us and gave us a 25% off coupon she got, and wasn't going to use, from doing a trade in there. I love a good deal!
We also splurged on a leather recliner/rocker/swivel chair from macy's. That has really been our first and only splurge and I figure we can always use it as real furniture down the road and in the meantime, it will come in handy with the baby, especially if I need to sleep in her room, which I can totally see myself doing. Last night I figured out what clothes I have and still need for baby. Boy, you think you have a lot of stuff, but when you actually do an 'inventory' of it all, some sizes have nothing in a certain category or don't have warm enough clothing.
Robyn - I think they want you to retake the glucose test because it gets harder for your body to manage sugars as the pregnancy progresses and being that you are having twins, it's probably just a safety precaution to make sure GD doesn't creep up. That stuff made me sick too, but hang in there, better to be on the safe side.
Allie - I think when it comes to infant mattresses, you always want one that feels firm. Here is a good guide I read about mattresses (though we haven't bought one yet): https://www.babycenter.com/0_how-to-buy-a-crib-mattress_1479.bc
I meet with a dietician on Wednesday...in the meantime I'm on my own this weekend and hope I'm doing okay. I'm not getting any extra appointments yet but the nurse told me I will be getting a biophysical profile done and coming in for non-stress tests starting at 32 weeks. At least I'll be getting well monitored. I just feel bad for my little baby, hopefully I haven't done any damage so far.
I would love a glass of wine too or a margarita! But I think it will be a while after giving birth before I get back into enjoying an occasional drink because I think alcohol can get into your breast milk so if you want to drink it, you have to time it so that it's out of your system before you breastfeed. Or I guess you could pump before drinking alcohol so you don't have to wait for it to get out of your system?
