We have a date!

At my weekly doctor's appt. today they scheduled my c-section for November 4th! That's only 3 weeks from tomorrow!!  I am hoping I can hold out till then and that these girls don't decide to come any earlier.

Everything still looks good and the babies are very active. I can tell they are growing cause their movements are getting a lot more painful! I can't feel baby A as much because of her position and where the placenta is. I feel baby B all the time and she's an active little girl!

I am getting to the stage where I'm pretty much uncomfortable all the time. I have horrible back pain and I can't find any position that aleviates the pain.  Sleep is not happening as much as it was. I can't fall asleep cause I can't get comfortable and then when I do fall asleep I wake up to either go to the bathroom or to try and turn over to lay on my other side.  Talk about frustrating! 
( Don't take this as complaining, I use this blog as a diary of sorts and I like to be honest and keep it real so when I look back years from now I can remember exactly what I was feeling)

I've gained a total of 35 pounds so far and the nurse told me today that I could stand to gain a bit more. I took her at her word and tonight I had a caffeine free COKE float. Yum, it was so good!

I can't believe the end is in sight. This pregnancy has been full of surprises and at times seemed never-ending. Back in July I wasn't even sure we'd get this far and have 2 healthy girls to show for it.  We give all the glory to God for the miracle He's done in these girls.  The fact that we only had one amnio-reduction is amazing. I don't know how many times a nurse or sonographer has told me that they can't believe I didn't have to have repeat amnios.  Having the procedure work and continue working the first time is rare. Most women have to have it repeated several times.  God is awesome and His hands have been protecting our girls. We are so thankful to everyone who has been praying for our babies.
