Labor...COMING SOON!

Yesterday I turned 32 weeks. My size, it is a changin!. My last appt. was almost 2 weeks ago....I haven't gone since the holidays and such...so I have a high tech ultrasound tomorrow and a dr. appt Mon. I am anxious to see what is going on. At my last appt I still measured 40..so I hadn't changed, but the doctor said that depends on the position of the babies and such...Nelson and I tried to measure me....yesterday and it came out to 48....we could be wrong...even though we are experts :) ......but we'll see what I measure Mon. I have gained a significant amount this past 2 weeks.....and although it has been the holidays, I haven't been eating too much.....previously I have been quite hungry often....but lately not......so I am hoping the weight is just the babies getting bigger. Christmas about killed me. I pushed myself probably way too far.....Christmas Eve night...3 am...I was up with pretty hefty contractions....and I was just praying not to have to go to the hospital...they finally subsided.....and Christmas day I put myself on a sort of bed rest...more like a butt rest really. I sat a lot, drank lots of water and felt a lot better. I have Braxton Hicks quite often, but I don't think they are often enough to do much about. Reading online though, I think I should discuss my concerns with the Dr. Monday and maybe even have him check to see if I am dialating any from the contractions I have had. I think they will be able to tell a lot in the ultrasound tomorrow also, so I am ready for some news. I keep telling myself to pack a bag and be ready....and also feel I may be put on bed rest. We'll see. It is much harder to walk around. Getting up and down is difficult, I feel more pressure.....wondering if they are dropping any.....and just want to make sure they have enough time in there to develop and be born healthy. Can't wait to see how much they weight tomorrow.

I have meant to take pics on the days I change weeks, but I can't seem to get it together. Here is a pic of me at 31 weeks and 4 days. Right in between 31 and 32.

People keep telling me I look like I am going to pop, or any day now....ha. I actually rather enjoying telling them I am not due for 2 more months. :) It is fun to see their face. But then I say it is twins, so probably a lot sooner. It is def. going to be a lot sooner if I don't sit my hind end down and stop slaving away. It is pure torture being pregnant and wanting a super clean house and being so large and pregnant you can't actually do it. Torture. 

Here's to a another 3 weeks at least!
