I am very excited that we have made it to the 35 week mark this week! Only a couple more weeks to go maybe… I am really beginning to feel uncomfortable now though. My feet, ankles and legs all now swell up without me even doing anything all day. I can’t sleep because I can’t get comfortable for more than 45 minutes to an hour at a time. So, I am exhausted all day. On top of that, all of the extra weight has my knees killing me! Every time I get up and down, I have to support myself with my arms because my knees are really taking a beating…
I know these are all normal pregnancy symptoms. I guess I am just using the blog to vent today. These boys are such a blessing and I can’t wait to meet them. However, I am also just as anxious to get control over my body again and start feeling like “normal.” I feel guilty for complaining about this, but I still have anywhere from one week to four weeks left and I just can’t imagine how much worse it is going to get.
On to more positive thoughts… My precious friends came over yesterday to help me get in the holiday spirit! It was such a blessing to have Kim, Carol and Kristen come bake cookies at our house and visit with me! Thanks so much ladies for getting me in the Christmas spirit! It meant the world to me!
Baby update: The babies should be close to 5 pounds or so now. They are getting longer and gaining fat to help them maintain their body temperature once they are born. We did get to see their little lungs moving consistently in our last ultrasound. So, that was great news! They are getting ready to take their first breath! We also got to see a 4D picture of Cooper’s face! The technician surprised us with this and it just made my day! I started crying immediately. We haven’t been able to see Cooper’s face the entire pregnancy because he has always been turned the other direction. So, this was definitely a blessing. She also confirmed that the fluid levels are looking OK for Emory. We are going back in tomorrow though just to check and make sure.
Take a look at our precious Cooper! Doesn’t this just make you smile?
