34w1d!

Yesterday I hit 34 weeks! Hooray!!! I had another appointment this a.m. with my MFM and everything looks great! My BP was awesome and I had just a trace of protein in my urine again. She said it was a bit higher than last week but she isn't concerned. As usual, I had a bo-jillion questions for her. She is awesome and doesn't rush me. She puts up with my all my neurotic ramblings on and I just feel very comfy with her. One thing I asked her is if she is going out of town any time between now and when I would potentially deliver. Well, just my luck- the answer was yes. She is going to be gone on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial weekend. Perfect timing.... Just for me to be 36 1/2 weeks prego and the prime time for me to possibly deliver if I haven't already. Ugh! So what did the overly hormonal pregnant with twins chic do? Yep, you guessed it, I CRIED! Seriously, I'm like a child right now! It's not her fault. I mean, why shouldn't she have a life right? But OMG it stressed me out. I have to just take it as it is and not stress. It won't do me any good and I can't do anything about it so I will just have to take it easy that weekend and picture my lovely cervix looooong and closed! :) At my appointment next week I get to experience what all of my friends have described as a very pleasant experience.... the internal check of the cervix. Good times! Actually, I am very curious to see if nature has started taking it's course and if I'm any closer to meeting my adorable offspring. I am getting anxious. As in I just want to meet my babies and see their gorgeous faces anxious. Not the I can't stand being pregnant anymore and I am going to rip my hair out if this lasts any longer, type of anxious. I am doing fairly good. I think the babies are dropping. I have been feeling more pressure in the lower part of my belly over the past few days. Sleep is a little better this week but damn, it is hard to change positions in bed. IT HURTS! Not gonna sugar coat it. My hips feel displaced or something so when I move while laying down it isn't very comfy. I feel it while I walk as well. I really try my best to waddle the least amount as possible but it's hard. It's like my hips have spread so far apart that if I try to put 1 foot right in front of the other it's completely unnatural for my body. Interesting what this pregnancy thing will do to a body. Totally worth it though!

Another thing my Dr. told me is that with a twin pregnancy, most likely I will go into labor rather than have to be induced. I really hope this is the case. I'm afraid that being induced will just up my chances of having to have a C-section and I DON'T WANT THAT! So far everything is looking great for a vaginal delivery! Both babies are head down and that is the most important thing. She told me that if I make it to 37 weeks we will schedule an induction as she won't let me go past 38 weeks. I feel like a ticking time bomb! I know that at this point it really could be anytime that these babies decide to show up. Every new feeling or sensation sends me into a semi-tailspin just waiting to see what will happen next. I can't wait to meet them but I'm hoping it is still a few weeks away!

** on a side note-- any Moms of Multiples out there -- you need to watch National Geographics DVD "Multiples, inside the womb". Sooooo cool!
