ALMOST 33 weeks

SO I am kicking back at the leverly Star.bucks this morning. Josh rearranged his work schedule to be off at 10am and go back at 2pm, but my appointment is at 10:30 so it didn't give really any time for him to come home to get me and still make the appointment on time. To his credit, he thought the appointment was at 11:30. Which is sorta true. My ultrasound is at 10:30 and we see my Dr right after..... hopefully good news??? I will post to let you know if there is any change in my cervical woes....

Aside from that, bedrest is going ok. The new blog has been really helping me to keep my sanity a bit. AND it's gaining popularity WOO HOO!! For week one I have nearly 400 unique viewers to the site and close to 1000 page loads. And my Facebook fanpage is growing - 64 members for week one. AND my dear, dear friend from Ruby's Closet has agreed to do a giveaway on the site! I'm really super excited about it, her things are pretty awesome!!! So if you haven't gone to my site, go now to Mommy Wants Freebies! My favorite feature is "Just Ask" - I have been contacting a boatload of companies geared toward moms and children, mainly babies, and they actually send me stuff. Like for free. kinda awesome.. It's funny, I really don't have anything to gain by having this site, it's just good fun ;)

Ok, now for an update from me physically...

  • Baby boy began pushing down so hard last night I thought my water would break. He wants out...
  • Baby girl has been squirmy lately. She's running out of room in there along with her brother and can't seem to get comfy. Welcome to my world, little one!
  • I am measuring about 45 weeks now. All belleh...
  • I have a new little stretchmark going from my pelvic line to about halfway to my navel. Which has officially popped now. Which I love. the navel, not the stretchmark. Thankfully I am very fair-skinned and the mark is light and will fade into nothing... I also have a little one above my navel where I had a piercing so many years ago. Rebel...
  • I had a massive muscle spasm Saturday morning enough to warrant a call to my Dr who said that as long as I feel the babies and I don't have any bleeding or mucous I should be ok. It was only one and it went away.
  • Sleep. Sleep?? What's that? Between trying to get comfortable and constantly kicking my dog off my pillows (mind you, she's almost 100lbs) I get an average of 5-6 hours a night. Whilst waking every 2 hours, so I am never in REM sleep... If it weren't for naps I would be a zombie!
  • I am so anxious to see these babies I can't stand it. I daydream about what they will look like. Red curls like me when I was little? Super blonde hair like Josh as a baby? Who's features will they have? Will they both get my long second toe?
  • I STILL haven't washed any baby clothes, but as long as I am going home today and not to L&D I am doing it. TODAY. I have it all separated and ready to go in the wash....
So that's what's up with me... keep me in your thoughts for a good appointment today!

Hooray for almost 33 weeks!! Amazing. Seriously we are in the countdown and I'm starting to freak out *wink*. Maybe now that I'm home I have way too much time to ponder things. :o)

Can't wait to hear how the appointment goes!!

Have fun washing your baby stuff! It's so amazing to see all those little clothes in your washing machine. Really surreal for us IFers.
