36 weeks . . .hooray?!?!

Well today marks the 36 week point of my pregnancy. . .and with it, truth be told, has come a rough week of not sleeping, being uncomfortable and weariness. So if we're being honest, I must say that while part of me can see the celebration of making 36 weeks . . .part of me is just ready to meet these two little girls.

Dr. Nord doesn't seem to be quite so anxious (probably why he is the doctor and I'm not?!!). : )

We didn't get a measurement of our munchkins today - one of the girls is so burrowed under the other, he had a rough time getting just a clear view on her heart to check her heartrate. However, both girls continue to look well, have strong heart rates, and move lots. For that, I can step outside of myself and be very thankful we've made it this far and that they can keep growing stronger.

We're somewhat back to our previous positions of baby - one of the girls did move partially head down, but her body still curves across me in a more transverse position while the other girl went back head up. Dr. Nord still feels like a c-section is our best option and both Ryan and I are in agreement that he's making the right call. It seems unlikely that even if one baby would be a successful vaginal delivery, that the second one would as well. At this point, I really feel like it's going to be our best option and (most of the time), am very ok with it.

So not alot of details for you this week . . .unless of course you were dying to know what I measured this week.

44.

Those of you who guessed I wouldn't get this big were very sweet to humor me. : )

I think they may have used me as an oblivious model for this cartoon. I know I've seen this image in the mirror quite often lately. : )

So at this point, babies won't be making an appearance this week . . .unless they decide to surprise us.

And with that, this mommy is off to take a nap.
