31 weeks....on the lighter side.

Feeling good tonight, wishing I could go for a long run in the rain but thankful for the reasons that I can't. So instead I am listening to some of my tunes from teaching classes, man listening to them makes me realize how much I love it and miss it. So so worth it though. But let me tell you nothing is funnier than thinking I am pretty cool and then catching my reflection in the window listening to my ipod with my maternity housecoat on doing the step touch with an upper cut, being 31 weeks with twins. Yeah, thats for my eyes only.
31 weeks baby, can hardly believe it. Feel like I could drink the ocean, but my appetite seems to be subisidng (finally!). Had a couple days of back pain over the weekend but so far it has been pretty smooth sailing the last 10 weeks or so. I even think I found a new stretch mark, which I never never thought was possible. (though I ca't see past my bely button:) ) Cody gave me all the stretch marks one woman could possibly have from her neck to her legs,  or so I thought. Another mark of valour I suppose. lol! I really cannot complain, no swelling so far, weight gain is sitting around the 30 pound mark, and every ultasound I go to the doctor tells me I am doing above average for this type of pregnancy. Praise God!

The girls room is coming together, painted, new light, crib is set up, rocking chair recovered and painted, sewing done, some some stuff on the walls..and did I mention a closet full of clothes already?(I haven't bought a thing of it myself) GIRLS! And so it begins, this journey. I have NOOOO idea what I'm in for and reading all the books and blogs I can will probably be in no way making me better equipped for this. But I feel like I have my boxing gloves on and I am ready for this challenge, I love challenges..if they don't knock me over, so we will see. I am determined to make it, to ask for help, to ACCEPT help and to suck it up, keep calm and carry on when I need to. I am thinking Darryl being at depot was like training for this time that's coming in my life. Hopefully it made me more prepared for what is to come. I am sure I am going to read this in 3 months and laugh, who knows right?

So just gotta get through this Christmas season and we will be pretty close to the BIG day, not sure when but really hoping to make it till at lest 36 weeks. Been cleared for a regular birth which I am happy about since 50% of twins are born via c-section and I have had 2 vbacs and much prefer a regular birth. Wasn't sure since baby B is still breech but as long as baby A stays head down we are good to go. If it changes then it changes, I am going to do what is best for a healthy outcome for these two either way.
I love Christmas and time is just flying by so I am trying to enjoy it as much as possible. The quiet, I mean. Thankful for my mother who helped me sew all my crib covers and chair coverings today, it turned out great and went pretty fast since she has a surger. I did a few things, but mostly she can sew faster and better than I can so I just helped her with the prep and ironing and so on. Oh and did I mention my husbands been amazing? Making me sit down and put my feet up all the time (it's a little overkill sometimes but I'm taking it), vacuuming, taking care of the boys etc etc. So blessed to have him, even if it's only every 4 out of 8 days he is 100% here and in charge on those 4 off. (if he isn't doing floors or OT). Ok enough, just thankful to God for all HIS blessings to me, I truly feel so so undeserving!!!!!!!!!!
