35 wk bump update!

How I’m Feeling/Updates:
I am so excited – I made it to 35 weeks!!!! I honestly did NOT think I would make it this far 10 weeks ago. I really was preparing for 32wks because of all the stories I’ve read. But look at that – here we are at 35 weeks!!! Such a huge milestone in my opinion. :)

I’ve only had to go into our guest room to sleep once this week. On the flip side, my dreams have been INSANE lately. From riding horses, to people taking our babies, to me having a double that was a vegetable that was carrying one of the twins – I’m talking weird stuff people.

Braxton Hicks are still around and I’m pretty sure I had a few random contractions the other day – nothing consistent – just letting me know to slow it down.

I am pretty hilarious to look at when walking, trying to sit up, rolling over in the bed – or even putting on my pants! ha ha. At least everyone can get a good laugh in for the next 13 days :)

Baby Movement:
Same as always. I have to laugh at myself how I used to think the boys would hurt me by kicking my ribs or punching my hips. Lord have mercy I had no idea. I mean yeah, that was totally uncomfortable – but when there are TWO in there – it’s a whole new level of pain people. I can’t imagine the women that carry more than 2!!!! They are serious super women. Seriously!

Fun fact for you: During the ultrasound last week – we watched Abigail kick my hip bone – you could SEE IT on the screen! Yeah. Pain.

    You look great! And not one of us can hear you growning or stretching during these last parts, so we are not laughing at your expense, it is so not funny that it hurts, and then times 2! Whew. You have a very special job growing two babies, and you are doing awesome! Happy for the 35 week mark… every day is progress from here on out. You can so do this!

  8. Everything ok with the girls? Just curious about the induction? Those days will be here before you know it!

  9. I’m so happy you made it to 35 weeks. My identical twin girls were born at 35 weeks and they were healthy and only stayed in a special care nursery for 7 days. They turned 13 on Sept 2…GAH!! Praying for you that all goes well until your sweet babies arrive. God bless!
