No babies yet...
The good news is that 36 weeks is considered full term for twins (and I will hit that milestone at midnight tonight) -- so no more worrying about pre-term labor or NICU time (hopefully).
The bad news? Well, since last Thursday when my OB said I should be prepared to have these babies "any day now," I've been getting increasingly uncomfortable. I get occasional contractions, but they're not strong enough or in a regular enough pattern to do much as far as progressing towards the end goal. At the same time, they're uncomfortable enough to keep me from sleeping much. So, I'm exhausted and impatient, but still hanging in there. I just wish that the contractions would stop or get stronger, instead of these wishy-washy, indecisive contractions that don't quite know where they're going.
I'm crossing my fingers that I've either gone into labor, my water breaks, or I have at least dilated a bit before our OB appointment on Monday. If I'm dilated at all by that appointment (and I haven't gone into "full blown labor" by that time), it's likely they'll send me to the hospital for the c-section.
I have to also take a minute and send a HUGE Thank You to my mom, who has been watching Aidan twice a week, both this week and last week, to give me some much needed rest. Mom, you're the best! (And, it doesn't hurt that Aidan has an absolute ball at her house with the rest of the kids...)
