Week 32

Well the last two weeks were NUTS!!!  But we are here now in our condo (where we will be for the next 2 months!) and everything is put away.  We can now have a few relaxing weeks before our lives get crazy for a long long time!!  :) We are pretty much all settled in here at the condo - a few ??s pop up like where is this again?  But overall we love it here!

We have the babies room all set-up for the most part.  I'm waiting on a few more items, but we are almost ready!  I'll be taking some pics later this week - and posting them.

We closed on our sheboygan house on last Friday so we are officially 100% done with that and homeownership!  We could not be more excited!  We did not want to be messing around with that any further in to my pregnancy!

I am feeling far better than I thought I would at week 32!  I am happy about that! It is getting a little crazy trying to move around and rolling over in bed to get a comfy position, but other than that, I am doing well!  My energy level has stayed pretty high, I am not overly tired as I thought I might be.  I started swimming here at the resort indoor pool and love it!  I swim for about 45 min. at a time and am able to stretch and use my legs and it feels good.  Walking was getting too hard, b/c my back would hurt and I would get some Braxton Hicks in my lower stomach during the walk, so swimming has been a relief!  I wear my support stockings everyday and get 0 swelling, which is amazing!  So I am not dealing with that at all.
        I am also carrying a little wide as opposed to out so I am measuring about 38 singleton weeks.  Originally my doctor thought I would measure 40 weeks at my week 28-29, so I am thankful of my size!  I just hit the 30 lbs. gained last week and have maintained that this week and that is super exciting to me!  This is pretty much all baby and fluids.  I should deliver 12lbs of baby, 18-20 lbs of other baby fluids, so that is pretty much all of it!  I will probably gain about 5 more lbs or so before I deliver.  The babies are growing well!  We have an ultrasound on Friday to see exactly who is weighing how much and to see how the rest of this pregnancy will go.  I should start seeing the doctor every week after Friday as well.
    The goal is to get to 34 weeks with no problems.  At that point if I go into labor, they will not stop it my doctor said.  The babies will be big enough to be ok and the risks out weigh the pros of stopping labor!  That is in 16 days!!  OMG - But 34 weeks will be a little early - a better delivery goal is 35-37 weeks.  I have a feeling it will be in the 36the week - sometime between May 16-21 or so!!  We shall see!

I cannot believe I will be a Mommy of 2 babies in about 3-4 weeks.  That seems sooooo crazy! All this waiting and trying and planning and the time is here!!  How amazing! My mom and step-dad is coming to stay with us from May 16-28th and Marcs mom is then staying from May 25-June 16th ish, then I will head to my dads from June 17th - July 7th.  I am thankful I will have help for the first 2 months solid!  That is going to be a life saver!
