HELLLOOOOOOOO 36 WEEKS!!!!! WE MADE IT!!!
36 weeks is considered full term for women carrying twins!!
 I can not believe I have made it this far and still going. I didn't think I would be able to carry these babies full term. I thought I would be the mama to preemies. Highly doubt these two are preemies now lol I have had such a journey these past 9 months. From thinking it's only one baby to finding out its twins. To finding out we were finally going to be blessed with a son and another daughter!! I had a very uneventful pregnancy{until recently} which is rare for a multiple pregnancy. Even some of the issues I'm facing now aren't even a "big" deal since majority of all pregnant women go through it.

Well since last week. I have been in and out of the hospital for numerous reasons. I have been having high blood pressure-nothing too high but still high so they have been monitoring me closely. All my 24 hour collections have come back normal, meaning so far there has been no protein leaking in my urine. They believe my increased blood pressure levels are due to there being two babies and my excitement/nervousness. Also GOOD news-my liver bile levels have been coming back absolutely NORMAL-meaning I may not even have cholesatsis!!! 
I did end up in labor and delivery on monday due to being dehydrated. I was getting sick all night and morning. I couldn't keep food, water or anything down so I knew I had to go in. Of course I was severely dehydrated and after weighing me realized I had lost an additional two pounds so they were concerned. After getting hooked up to some fluids taking several different medications to stop the nausea I was able to go home! I have felt some what better but still sick and having a hard time keeping food down. My contractions have also started to get stronger since the middle of last night are starting to become a tad more time able!! I pray the time is nearing! I have been in such a foul mood due to being uncomfortable and just plain tired that I'm so ready for these two to come!
My doctor has been out of town on leave the past 2 weeks, I prayed they stayed in until she came back. Thankfully she is back now!! I get to see her tomorrow morning and go over all the info for next week.
With these two still breech it seems like a c-section is in my future. But you know what I'm ok with that. I don't want to jeopardize me or my children by pushing for a vaginal delivery if its not meant to be. I have to deliver TWO babies. I am getting my tubes tied so it will all work out. If it turns out I can deliver vaginally I will but I have now come to the point where I'm not going to cry and fight for something that I may end up with regardless.

For family and friends-
If we do go into labor before the 25th we will be sending out a mass text to you all to let you know. Some may get a phone call from my Mom or Jimmy. 
I really have been stressing over this but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE-when you receive the text that the babies are born-it will more then likely inform you of their names-info and photo-
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING ONLINE{FACEBOOK} UNTIL AFTER WE DO. 
It would just be the respectable thing to do. I don't care if you throw a shout out to us or a congratulations but PLEASE do not say their names-birth stats or photo until we do. We want to be the first to do so. I have gone back and forth with debating if I should just put it on Facebook and let it be over with, but I really want our family and closest friends to know first. So not to sound like the bitch that I am...I will be EXTREMELY pissed if we find out someone has.
Also people have asked about visiting us in the hospital- we are all for visitors BUT if I have a c-section I think were going to ask for everyone to wait until the next day to visit so I have time to heal and rest. If I am feeling up to it I will let you know that day.

Blows my mind that come tomorrow we will officially has LESS then a week!!


7 DAYS LEFT-MAX!!!!!!!!
