35 weeks

At my doctors appointment today he said that I am 60-70% effaced and that labor could happen at anytime!! What exciting news!! They also put on the fetal heart rate monitors and contraction monitor and were surprised to see that I had what the nurse called a "triple contraction." I guess that is where you have a hard, strong contraction then it starts to let up and you have another, it starts to let up and you have another. The babies don't seem to mind all the contractions and their heart rates looked good. They were a little sleepy but once they woke them up they were really active and kicking the monitors. For the last 4 days I have been having over 12 contractions in an hour as close as 2 minutes apart and all through the night. Sometimes they are letting up and then they start back up again. I am off of Procardia which made the contractions less intense and I have noticed a huge difference for me in the strength of the contractions. SO needless to say I have been really drained from all the contractions and in a lot of pain/discomfort. I am trying to keep a good attitude but I have not been the sunniest person to be around. Sweet Jeremy has been wonderful and my family has been amazingly helpful! Mostly I am trying to stay distracted and just let things happen when it's time. Jeremy texts me from work every few hours to make sure I am still prego...I think he is a bit nervous to be 2.5 hours away from me at this point! Thanks for your calls and encouragement even if I have missed you, it has been an endurance challenge for me at this point. I can't wait to meet these babies and be able to see my toes again. I am always wondering if today will be the day but we will just have to wait and see.

My oldest sister Shanna and her family move to Northern California this weekend. And my little sister Sarah is moving to college at Johnson and Whales on Friday. Lots of good changes happening for everyone but we are going to miss them lots and lots.
