I am so glad my countdown is so close. :) I am super uncomfortable and my joints are all lose, since that is what happens during pregnancy...so my hip are always hurting.....and pretty much doing anything but sitting on my duff is uncomfortable. And then, that is too sometimes!
Today I decided to stay home from church. It is hard enough to get them all dressed and hair fixed and such, but myself too...then climb in the van, drive to church, sit there for 3 hrs. I think I did pretty good going all the way up until last week. So the kids couldn't understand why I wasnt going...I apparently am not sick...so whats the deal?
I know they don't understand..and since to them I still do everything I can, they just don't get it. I should have stopped doing many things a long time ago, but as a mother of 6, that is virtually impossible and not a reality. And apparently besides being uncomfortalble, achy, and sore, it hasn't put me into to labor either, so be it. I am built to make babies I suppose.
You have to do what you have to do right? I asked for this, to be a mom and although I am quite miserable right now, irritable, and just probably no fun to be around....I am so grateful to be a mother and to be able to stay home with my kids. I am so grateful to have twins coming this week, and pain or not...c-section or not, it will all pass and nothing else will matter. I try to always be grateful for my blessings, because there are so many. Even though it is hard not being able to do what I want or need to do...like cleaning or organizing...and that is hard when you are about to have two new babies and you want to have a clean, organized, perfectly running house. But I just have to let go of that and move on.
Today and tomorrow are the two last days I can sit around on my duff, so I am trying to take complete advantage of that. Tuesday I have a Dr. appt and then have to do pre-admission testing at the hospital for my induction Wednesday. So even though there is laundry to wash, and things to be done.....it will have to be done a little at a time over the next two days. Because I am super uncomfortable.
My mom has been here for about 6 weeks, waiting to see if they come early...guess not. Sorry mom, you have put up with us for longer than necessary I guess. It has been nice to have her here to help do some of the cleaning and to stay with the kids when I need to go places, or Nelson takes me to the store. I know it can't be easy to be at someone else's mercy for so long, with no real independance of your own.
So here we go....in 72 hours from now we will have to new babies in our family! Can't wait.
Here are a couple of pics of me last week
37 weeks
Thursday
Friday
Last weeks dr. appt measured me at 47 cm....he commented he hasn't seen a belly that big since triplets. I said, "well people have asked if there is an extra one hiding in there!" :) Yes, I am large... and it is time to have these babies!!!! :)
