29 Weeks: Butternut Squash They Say

Not sure why all pregnancy websites describe baby weight/size in terms of vegetables. I do not want to imagine a garden in my uterus or an edible baby. Okay, this is the final stretch. Kiwi and Phoebe will be here in 6 to 9 weeks. I hope more the latter although I also hope to be able to walk at that point. I am amused at how HUGE my belly is and how well I can still move. I cannot move fast (get cramps) but I am still pretty limber and most importantly, pain free. As I surfed the endless online crap regarding twin pregnancy last night, I came across some really crazy mamma's blog (e.g. she won a race while 5 months pregnant) and her story. This woman was in kick ass shape, a health freak whose twins were vertex vertex (mumbo jumbo for head down like the docs like). Her labor went slowly, she was given pitocin without permission (this drug is often step one to a C-section because it makes contractions crazy strong and fast but it not natural so they may need to take it up a notch and slice you open). Sure enough, she had a C- section and what ensued sounds like a nightmare. She was bloated (you fill up with gas) and unable to produce milk as her body healed. It took her a long time to feel normal and I ask myself "Do I really need that kind of aggravating shit in addition to twins and nursing ?" I REALLY do not want to have a C- section and I am worried that I will have to have one, even if this is irrational and illogical. I think I need to stop thinking about this and just enjoy the relatively little time I have left as a pregnant woman. I am sad that it is the last time, crazy as that may sound, because I really feel well. Natural. Whole. Empowered. Maybe someone will enlist me as their surrogate in the future? I am blabbing. Buenas Noches.
