    I am almost 25wks and am so exhausted!!! I feel like I am already well into the third trimester. My body feels so heavy and I have a hard time getting anything done around the house. My poor kids are watching so much TV and we haven't been eating the best lately. Is this normal to feel this way already? My pregnancies have all been really easy. This is by far the hardest and I still have close to 15wks to go!

    I second that one!!!! I am 24 weeks and feel like...horrible most of the time. My kids are doing the same things: movies, Wii, etc. I feel horrible because I am really no fun right now. :( I am glad you asked abou this because I am feeling the same exact way! Hope things start looking up a little for ya.

    :hug: Being pregnant with twins is hard and hard on the body. As you are finding out it's much different than a singleton pregnancy. I know I was surprised to find that out myself, not sure why I expected it to be the same as my singleton pregnancy though. :lol:

    :hug:'s ladies.

    Don't be to hard on yourself about the kids watching more TV then normal, in the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal. :hug: :hug: Take care of yourself and rest when you have to. :hug:

    I've only had twins so far but it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I measured full-term around 30 weeks, so right now it's almost like the last month of a singleton pregnancy for you.

    It does suck majorly but you'll soon forget it after your babies are here. :)

    Thanks ladies!! I am feeling better today. After my post I took the kids out and we just took a drive. I picked up the tub of baby clothes from my IL's house (where we store things) and took the long way home. I tell you that really helped! I told DH that I might just start taking the kids for a small drive everyday just to get out of the house. I think just being outside in the sun for a bit really helps.

    I am so interested in what I am measuring. I go to the doctor next week and am going to make sure to ask. I look about the same as I did when I was 28wks when my first daughter. So that puts me three to four weeks ahead. I am definately going to have to install car seats and get the furniture set up sooner than later. DH doesn't know how to do car seats correctly so I need to do it. I am hoping to get everything done by 30wks.

    I am 29 weeks pg with b/g twins and my belly is measuring 45" around. They each weigh 3lbs and I feel like everything is so hard now. I have terrible carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, can't sleep more than 90 minutes at a time, back and hips are killing me and I just can't see the end in sight. And, my MFM specialist has me scheduled for a c-section at 36 weeks-thank goodness. I just don't know how I'll make it another 7 weeks. ugh.
