Still Holding

Well, here we are ALMOST 34 weeks and holding! Last night took a toll on me though -- I swear a mack truck came through and ran over me. Or maybe I didn't pick my belly up enough to roll from one side to the other. The nights are funny because I wake up a ton to go to the bathroom, deal with my sore hips and legs carrying all this weight, or try to pick my belly up to move from the right to the left side or vice versa.

We went to the doctor yesterday and they did a non stress test on each baby to be sure their hearts were responding properly. Poor little baby b was trying to sleep, and they woke him up with this little buzzing gadget that looked like the gadget someone who has had a tracheotomy would use to verbalize sounds. Anyhow -- after 3 hours, we were done monitoring and all babies are well! The doctor said he wants me to go into labor as opposed to scheduling anything and that could be as far off as another 2 weeks!!! I CANNOT IMAGINE!

We decided to go out for dinner last night and people stared, pointed and laughed as they saw me walk by....one lady said, "you must be having twins!" And I asked her if she would feel badly if I were just a big girl to start ;)

Then, going to the bathroom was an experience. I couldn't fit into a regular stall! Oh man! I couldn't believe it -- after waddling all the way back there, I get into the stall and couldn't shut the door because my belly was in the way -- I think my body has hit an official "handicapped" position! Wheelchair, bathroom, what's next??

We are certainly blessed to have had such luck growing these little people!!! I can handle some discomfort knowing that it is best for the next several years of their development!!!!!! WOW -- What a responsibility, eh?
