37 weeks!

Sorry for how blurry it is. 

     I can’t believe I’m saying this… but I’m 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow with twins!!!! Wow what a blessing and true miracle that I’m still pregnant. As shocking as that is to the medical community I on one hand know my body and think I have another good week to go.  My cervics is still long and closed (sorry TMI) and babies are growing well.

I can honestly see how women reach a point where they just can’t go any longer, and schedule inductions. Right now I’m still holding strong to my word… we plan to not induce and let these babies come when they are ready, just as long as I stay healthy and they stay healthy. My OBGYN has been great the last few weeks really understanding and listening to me and my body. Inductions are not fun.  But I will not lie when I’m at my lowest I think about it "maybe I’ll let the OB just break my water or maybe we can just do PIT and get the party started". But I also know what it best for the babies. I have researched my brain out, talked to plenty of different midwives and they all tell me the same thing "be patient". I am incredibly uncomfortable and sore now. Baby A is so deep pain shoots up my back right up to my head where I end up with wicked headaches that send me to bed. Baby B is all over the place still transverse but a wiggle worm. I have a fundal height of 45-46  I did however lose 4lbs last week due to intense heartburn so my weight continues to maintain.
  Sitting causes the most pain now I need to be home to have the option to go lay down and get the weight off. Even with all that this has been one of the most amazing seasons of my life. A pregnancy with no PSD was a dream come true. All at the same time of wanting to meet my babies I'm sad the pregnancy is at the end.
I go for an NST tomorrow and will likely double my fluid tests this week and my NST's and I'm pretty sure that will be it.  I have LOVED all my u/s tec's they have been amazing and encouraging making sure to include all my children in everything they are doing. 
This week I plan to have a quiet week and rest as much as I can and soak in these last days where I don't have to share my babies. Love up all my big kids and really just push the outside world out and create my little haven here.
