35 weeks!

I have made it to 35 weeks. I think i am both relieved, and a little surprised that i have actually made it this far. I have been willing, praying, pleading that my water would break this week, but alas.. nothing so far. Maybe it is God telling me to trust him and be patient. I am trying to change my mindset. My C Section is currently scheduled for May 25th. That is exactly 3 weeks from today. 3 weeks.. 3 weeks MAX. So, sometime within 3 weeks we will get to meet Corban and Katelyn. That makes me happy and terrified at the same time. As much as i am ready NOT to be pregnant anymore, i am still a little nervous as to how we are going to cope adding 2 more kids, let alone newborns to our family.

I had a Non Stress Test this morning where my blood pressure was high again, despite the doctor doubling the dose of meds i am on. I was also contracting every 3-4 minutes. My mom went with me and we were there for about an hour and a half. They gave me another shot of terbutaline and my blood pressure went down a bit before they sent me out. I then visited my regular OB at his office where he did a pelvic exam and said i was not dialated yet. That is good.. i guess. But, it makes me wonder what the heck these contractions are and why they are not doing anything! lol

In other news, my Mom and sister in law Kim came to my house late last Tuesday night. Kim stayed until Friday night and they were busy cleaning, hanging out with the kids, and just getting me organized and ready for the twins. My mom has been here since then and looks like she will be staying until the twins decide to arrive, and hopefully for a little after that. She has been a huge help to me as i am still on bedrest (though, that is hard, i tend to be up more than i should!). The kids love having her in town, i think they will be so shocked when she actually has to leave. I know it has been exhausting for her, but we are blessed to have the help. Thanks, Mom! My house has not looked this clean in awhile.. you are such a trooper!

And, what is a post without a picture? I am 34.5 weeks in the picture here. Yes, i am that huge, and no, you don't have to try and flatter me and say i don't look bad. LOL. I have no makeup on, and my hair is a mess, but here i am in all my glory. I did not realize my belly was this huge until i looked at this picture. Good grief!! Please, Corban and Katelyn, please come soon!
