We won the game!

I'm 32 weeks today!! **wearing party hat and blowing a kazoo**

According to my doc we've "won the game"...I consider it more of a battle or a war, but a game sounds nicer. He says if we reached 32 weeks most babies have no problems. What a huge relief!

How am I feeling? Uncomfortable! This last week or so I've really felt a lot of changes in my belly. I don't know if it was the knowledge of finding out they are 4.5lbs each or what, but man, can I feel it. My pelvic pain that I've complained about has not left. And now it's gotten to the point where it won't even go away over night anymore. I used to feel pretty good in the morning and then get sore in the afternoon and evening, but sleeping seemed to cure it. Oh well...this too shall pass.

I've also really noticed how hard it is to breathe these days. Reclining and laying down is when it's the worst. Thankfully that doesn't last all day. Usually when they are the most active in the evenings is when I feel it the most. It's almost equal now between them kicking and just rolling around. The rolling makes me feel nauseous. It is the strangest feeling. There is also a body part that keeps lodging itself in my right groin area. I feel it when I sit up straight, walk and when I go the bathroom.

Speaking of going to the bathroom. I am up every 2-3 hours at night to pee. I think the worst part though, (TMI alert) is the randomness of going numero dos. Thankfully I haven't experienced any constipation at all this whole pregnancy (knock on wood), but my schedule is definitely off. I used to be so regular. I could set my clock by it. Now, it happens anytime...even when I'm sleeping the urge will wake me up. That is no fun.

I've been drinking a lot of water at night too to keep the BH contractions away. I think it's actually been helping with the contractions, and obviously keeping me heading to the bathroom all the time. The contractions have seemed to almost completely gone away. Some days I bet I don't even have two of them. I'm so happy. I was worried there for a while when I consistently had 6-8 a day.

Hmm, let's see, any other updates? Oh, I have decided to hold off on the Zoloft the doc prescribed. We'll see how I do after the babies are here. I think the main stressors that have me so depressed are temporary and after the babies arrive and the dust settles and we get back to a normal work schedule our finances will work themselves out. And with that under control it will really help with some other issues we've been dealing with lately. I tell ya, it seems that just as things start to look up something else happens. I'm hoping that we will be able to start moving forward and looking up instead of bracing for the next thing.

Okay, I'm thinking that's all for now. Plus, my arms are totally stretched out to type since the laptop is so far away because of the belly (I've already had to adjust my seat in the car because the belly is up against the steering wheel).

Alright, that's all folks.
