29 weeks- That's embarrassing!

So I'm sitting here at the lab for my 3 hr glucose test. I'm hungry and thirsty, but can't have anything! Definitely getting a chipolte salad after this!
I forgot to tell you yesterday that at my last checkup my cervix dropped from 1.9 to 1.7. The babies still look good though. They are no longer going to be looking at my cervix and will fo an FFN test next week to see if I am going to go into labor. Here is a link to read more. FFN

I've had a few random contractions since then, so it is probably lower now.  It was pretty neat to see them "breath" and use their lungs during the ultrasounds. I've had 4 rounds of steroids to increase their lungs, so we are hoping for healthy babies! 

Ok, ready for the embarrassing stuff? Men, do not read further! 
I don't see any men reading this, but I had to put that disclaimer in... 
1) weight gain- not a big deal and not too embarrassing, but at 28 weeks I had gained 47 lbs. I didn't mean to listen, but the dr said it and I stuck my fingers in my ears like a preschooler and lalalalaed. Pretty mature, right?
2) The need for diapers- Adult ones. Before I used to feel myself pee when I would sneeze, cough, or move fast. Now, it just comes like a leaky focet and I don't know! Lovely, huh? 
3) The bowels- either stopped or continuously flowing. Take that for what it is... 
4) hungry- I'm so hungry. I was so excited at the beginning when I search info about multiple pregnancies. Many people said they had no room to eat. Well apparently, I made room and can eat every 5 minutes. I even wake up at 1am hungry. Guess everyone's pregnancy is different?
5) Emotional train wreck! Everything makes me cry, mad or laugh... 
6) Spider veins... EVERYWHERE! 
7) Thinking- can't form a complete thought without a million other thoughts racing through my brain. I cannot seem to form a logical thought. It was bad before, but... Oh crap, I forgot what I was going to say. 
8) Huge veins- Everytime I look at my belly, I think of all of the river channels that run through the Amazon.

This is what my belly looks like. Ill post a "real" belly picture next week.
