I'm ready... I think

In many ways this pregnancy has seemed never-ending. With all the complications of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrom (TTTS) and the bedrest it has felt like I'd never get to Oct/Nov.  But, on the other hand, it's flown by and I can't believe I'm 5-7 weeks away from meeting my girls!

I am ready to be done with the whole bedrest thing.
I'm ready to be able to clean my house.
I'm ready to get back in my kitchen and cook and bake again.
I'm ready to be able to lie down on my back without getting light-headed.
I'm ready to be able to get out and go grocery shopping (Even though this isn't a task I always enjoy, I have missed being able to go and get what we need without having to write a very detailed list for Dan)
I'm ready to be able to see my feet again.
I'm ready to be able to have a conversation without becoming totally out of breath.
I think I'm most ready to get on with our life in our "new normal".  I know we're going to have a long period of adjustment, but I'm ready to move onto the next chapter: Life as a family of 5.
I'm ready to cuddle and snuggle my precious baby girls.

I am NOT ready for the crazy post pregnancy hormones that make me cry for no reason.
I am NOT ready for the sleepless nights -especially with 2 newborns.
I am NOT ready for the stress that is sure to follow after adding 2 newborns to our family.
I am NOT ready for the lack of sleep...oh, did I mention that already? Well it's worth repeating because I'm really NOT ready for that.
