36 weeks

My baby center update this morning, said that any pregnancy is considered full term at the end of this week! Can you believe it!?!  That is so exciting. What a blessing this has been I am such a lucky girl!
Speaking of being lucky,  I'm so lucky and thankful that our  family is so excited and supportive. Please don't get your feelings hurt if I don't return your call right away. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the calls everyday to check in. Everything is the same and typically nothing new to share. I'm getting a little crabby from all this bed rest and being so uncomfortable now. And I don't want to take it out on someones good intentions. I hope you understand,  I truly appreciate the love and support . That's the great thing about having this blog, I can post updates as they happen!

Update

Well so much for my theory that getting the cercloge out would induce labor. The doctor removed it at my appointment on Thursday and here we are Saturday afternoon and all is calm. No contractions no nothing. Which really is a good thing and I'm glad, but I am just so ready! I really hope for next weekend. By then there is such a slim chance they will even have to visit the nicu. Which would be an amazing gift!
Thursday turned out to be a weird day, the way things worked out. My appointment was originally at 1030 and I left at 930 but as soon as I got out onto Parker road it was a complete stand still. after 20 minutes of going no where what so ever, and having contractions from sitting- I called to reschedule and they moved it to 230. At 130 Jason called and said he was picking me up and taking me he got done early. That NEVER happens. Anyway as per usual the NST didn't go so smooth. The babies don't like to stay in one spot long enough to get a 20 minute read , not to mention sitting that long causes such bad contractions that they were coming every two minutes. With that said, they decided to just do the biophysical instead and as they didn't let up the doctor decided to take it out right then. He didn't want me to go into labor with the stitches still in and tare, and conveniently Jason was there. I'm so glad it ended up being a spur of the moment thing because I got so scared. At least I only had about 5 minutes to think about it instead of days. And OMG it hurt like hell. It was so bad! I am so glad that is done! Phew!
But as soon as I got home and laid back down everything calmed down. The cramping wasn't too bad after that night and now everything is back to normal.
Realistically after all this, the doctor is totally going to have to induce. Which is a little funny considering I've been on the couch since 17 weeks trying and praying every week to just get through an other.
Regardless- we are in the home stretch and I feel so much less paranoid knowing they won't be premature!  How lucky are we! So worth four months of bed rest!
Tomorrow is my last injection, forever!  I'm so excited about that!! I have an other NST Monday, well I'm hoping they just scan instead, seeing as how the nst does nothing but irritate my super sensitive body!
Thursday is my last big appointment where the doctor will measure them etc as well as plan an induction date.
For whatever its worth, I'd really like to be able to eat birthday cake next Sunday ;)
