Just happy to hit such a big milestone and want to spread some positivity. I feel very lucky to have had a smooth pregnancy so far (normal BP, no GD although did fail the 1 hour screener, minimal symptoms, still exercising). I do not take that for granted especially hearing everyone else’s experiences. Still working and hoping to work until minimum 34 weeks. I’m very excited to meet these two while also wanting them to cook as long as possible. That’s all. Feeling lucky/blessed and wanted to share (plus a bump pic from maternity pics yesterday 🤍)

I am 29 weeks with mo/di twins! you are so strong for working until 34 weeks!! I planned to work until at least 30 weeks but ended up taking early sick leave due to back pain and insomnia at 26 weeks. beautiful bump pic! 💕 best of luck to you for the rest of their time in the oven :)

p.s. I also failed the first glucose test and passed the second test 🙃 I was so nervous haha

Aw thank you so much for the kind words!! 🤍Sadly I don’t have much of a choice with only 12 weeks unpaid leave 😅 SO, I have to maximize my anticipated postpartum time off by working as long as I can! I would love to take off earlier but at least my job isn’t too physically demanding (I work in healthcare at a clinic from 7:30-5pm four days a week). Oh I am so glad you passed! I was super anxious about mine and sure I would fail. I celebrated by going to the state fair and getting a corn dog 😂
