36 weeks!

So here I am, 36 weeks 2 days and I am so thankful to still be pregnant!!  Want to know my fear?  The full moon tomorrow night.  I am terrified that its going to put me into labor!!  Or break my water or something!!  I really hope nothing happens I would be devastated!!  

Okay now that I got that out of the way...my mom will be here on Monday!!! 3 days away!!  And we will meet our two beautiful baby girls in 13 days!!!!  how exciting is that!?  I just cant wait!!  I packed my hospital bag this morning, all except for the things that I cant pack until the night before, and I feel ready!  I am just hoping to stay pregnant until the 4th!  its so important to me!!  Alright well its naptime...haha what else do I do anymore?

20 DAYS

So we have but 20 days until the girls arrive!  I also only have 5 more NST days until they are here!  This is all so crazy!  I have everything we need for these little girls too.  The last few things will arrive in the coming days....2 bouncers, and a cozy car seat cover (because apparently Wal-Mart only stocks 1 at a time) will be the last things to arrive! 

I feel completely ready for them to be here, now all that is left to do is lay on my left side and wait!  I REALLY don't want to do anything that could increase my chances of going into labor at all, so now Nick gets to go grocery shopping and all that fun stuff!  If I leave the house, I am going to the hospital for appointments or monitoring's, that's the only reason I get to leave.  And I am okay with that.  I know that every day brings my girls closer and closer to being better developed for this world, and knowing that even if they decide they want to come early, that I did everything in my power to keep them in!

Thank God that on Tuesday we will be 36 weeks!  I have read that by 36 weeks babies are pretty well developed, and usually have little to no lasting effects of being pre term.  I am in soo much pain at this point, that bed rest is really the only option anyway haha!!!!!  Alright, I need to jump in the shower (like how i say jump like anything at 35 weeks with twins happens quickly) and get ready for my appointment....

I have been slacking! 35 weeks!

Okay I know, I have been slacking on my posts...my bad!!

So I am very happy to report that I am now 35weeks 2 days and still pregnant!  The girls are doing great and today we had a doctors appointment.  They are still both footling breech, which they will remain like that until our c section on November 4th!  Now, the 4th is only 22 days away!  I am so excited and I cant believe its already time for them to be here!!!

So the doctor gave me my pre admissions paperwork, we got that taken care of, did the GBS swab and gave us our birth certificate paperwork to fill out.  I am so giddy I could scream!

We had a growth ultrasound at exactly 34 weeks.  Rylie(baby a) was 4lbs 11oz  and Laramie (baby b) was 4lbs 12oz.  So they are both measuring amazing and my doctor said that if we make it to our scheduled c section each baby should weight at least 6 and a half pounds!  That is such exciting news for us!  So we haven't been having contractions or anything, other than the occasional Braxton Hicks, so he seems very confident that we will make it to 38 weeks!!!

In other news....WE HAVE MOVED.....AGAIN.  And hopefully for the last time.  This is our 4th move in a year, and our 3rd since I have been pregnant.  The house is finally unpacked and everything is all set up and ready for my little girls!  Well that's about all the update I have for now!  oh, and heres a picture for the road.

Alright. So my last post said...well nothing, so here is where I will give you my life story (sort of) and introduce you to my family!

So to begin, I am Sam, I am 20 years old (21 in January)  and I am currently 32weeks 5 days pregnant with fraternal twin girls.  This is me :)

Alright.  I was in high school rodeo, and I team rope with my mom back home in California.  I will get to why California is "back home"  I have the best horse ever, Johnny Cash!  We make a great team I tell ya!  So the reason I am not in Cali?

This man right here.  This is my husband Nick.  We got married on December 6, 2008, just 6 months after graduating high school.  After our wedding, Nick joined the Army, and we got stationed here

Yup...good old Ft Lost n The Woods Missouri!!  I hate the weather, and being 2000 miles away from my mom really sucks!!  But what can ya do?  So we have been here for about a year and a half now, fun times really.  We have moved 3 times, and will probably move more because we always seem to get screwed on where we live.  Missouri is rough!  I will tell you one thing I love about Missouri...the SNOW!!  I love it!  Anyway!  We have 2 dogs...

They are both awesome!!  And now we are expecting our two beautiful daughters, Rylie Leona & Laramie Beth.  As of right now my girls are just over 4lbs each and were at 32weeks 5 days.  I am praying that we make it to at least 36 weeks with these little darlings, but from what I have read you never can tell!  Thus far my pregnancy has been relatively uneventful, other than that time I got hit by lightning...yeah go figure.  But other than that we are all good!!  So this is us so far!  I will try to get some pictures up of the bedside nursery today :)

 Bye!
