So here I am at 34 weeks - almost at the 35 week mark where they won't stop me if I go into labor! Scary and happy at the same time. Last week my feet and ankles swelled up really bad. Enough to scare me into going to the doctor about it. Don't they look pretty? I'm especially impressed with the sock line and the sausage toes. LOL Anyway, the doc says nothing to be done about it - you are pregnant with twins. So I spent the entire weekend with my feet up. Fun.
Today I went for my weekly check and they tell me that I am a fingertip dilated and 75% effaced!! That means things are moving along! I could be having these babies in a week or so! Hopefully it will still be a little more time but at least we know they should be pretty well developed and not need too much assistance. I also had my weekly non stress test and had 2 contractions while in the chair. It is neat to watch the machine start shooting up - like looking at a richter scale or lie detector graph. LOL
So now we still need to get the nursery moving. My brother and hubby spent hours Saturday working on the molding but there is still tons to be done!! This is the time I miss my hubby not having a normal 9-5 job. He is just exhausted after a 12 + hour shift to do much of anything. Andof course I am not allowed to do anything other than supervise others. Thank God I'm good at that! LMAO Actually I'd much rather be working on the room than sitting around waiting for the swelling to subside.
Oh well. That is my cross to bear. In another few weeks I'll have so much to do and not an ounce of energy to do any of it other than feed and change the twins!
