33 Weeks

Do me a favor and don't look too hard at that photo.  It seems these girls are really sucking away my "beauty" at this last part of pregnancy.  Of course this was taken after 9 PM at night after wrestling Loralei to bed.  Good news on that front!  She actually went to sleep by herself last night!  I left her awake and she demonstrated self-control to stay in bed and fall asleep.  I'm very proud.

I am officially 33 weeks and a few days.  I always run late now so sorry that it's not pinpoint accurate.  I don't feel as huge as these pictures make me out to be.  In fact I get amazed at peoples reactions to me until I catch myself in a mirror. My world has shrunk these past few weeks and not just because I take up more room.  My body is really tired and I don't get to go or do much.  I started non stress tests twice a week last week and with my weekly doctor's appointment I basically just go back and forth from American Fork Hospital and my doctor's office.  I'm pretty boring.

I mostly pass the time reading books that I adore and know that I won't have time to enjoy again after the twins are born.  So far I have reread the Harry Potter series, the Hunger Game series, and I'm in the middle of two more. If these babies take their dear sweet time I may have to start all over.

Loralei is getting very excited for the girls and we are discussing things she can do with the babies.  She says she will sing to them and kiss them and hold them.  I'm so excited for the baby who made me a mama to meet her new sisters. 

I must get back to life, but I hope that all who reads has a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving holiday.  I am so grateful for this process and for my body that is really doing amazing things right now.  Take Care.
