update

Onto week 36:)
My back pain was relentless for two days, and then out of no where it let up yesterday afternoon. Today we went to see the MFM Dr for an ultraosund. Baby A is just over 5 lbs, and my "meatball" is 6lb 11 oz (ish)!!! Then I ran some errands with my mom and I am still hanging in there today.
So maybe they will last until the 12th, who knows.
On a brighter note I am SO HAPPY the snow is melting:) 8 1/2 months pregnant lady married to a quadriplegic does not make for easy snow removal.

ugh day

After a slightly busy Christmas Eve and Christmas, Rob accompanied me to my non-stress test this morning at 10:30 with plans to hit the mall and Babies R Us following. After laying in the hospital bed for 40 min, baby A was fine, but Baby B would not move and I had THE most intense back pain I have ever had. I mean NOTHING would let it up.
So they sent us for an ultrasound where we waited for another 1/2 hr, and I walked, sat and tried my best to get the pain to go away. Finally we had the ultrasound and the words from the tech "they're having a party in there." Yup, both just fine and mom still miserable. So 3 1/2 hrs later we headed home. I did find some Tylenol in Rob's van and I laid on the couch for the past few hours and the pain is now better.
For a while there we thought they were coming today. No such luck:(
hopefully the back pain does not make a return! 2 weeks from Monday is as far as I have to go.

34 weeks

I hit 34 weeks Monday, and according to my OB, if I go into labor now, they can come out!!! (and I am more than ready). My hands and feet are swollen, but other than that I am fine. I only work until Friday, and only part time for those days, so I can hang in there!!!
I am hoping the babies don't come until after Christmas, but I have a feeling they won't make it until their scheduled arrival date of January 12th!

baby updates:)

I am 33 weeks pregnant today, the photos below were taken last week. I also was very busy with appointments last week and here are the results: the babies weight about 4 and 4 1/2 lbs, and baby B is breech. So I am scheduled for a c-section on January 12th! My OB also said that as long as I carry the babies until 34 weeks (next Monday) that if I go into labor, then they can come out!!! If Baby B is still breech they will be delivered via c-section, if he has flipped, then I can try a vaginal birth. OK babies, one more week and then we are ready for you!!!
I am getting uncomfortable, I sleep with 50o pillows supporting me and my belly. My belly pulls in almost every position (except sitting, when it rests on my legs).

Yesterday was also Rob's 31st birthday!! I can't believe he is "in his 30's". I think him turning 31 is harder for me than him. (although I am not far behind!). We went out to dinner with his family and mine Sat night, and yesterday Heidi cooked a turkey dinner. It was awesome:)

Heidi also worked on the upstairs bathroom. I really wish we did a before and after photo...it looks SO MUCH better than the ugly 50 yr old wall paper that was up there! It now is a very pretty shade of yellow and we are going to decorate with duckies for the kids:)
