31 weeks

Today I am 31 weeks and 2 days. My belly measures at 44 weeks and has a circumference of 55 inches. I did the circumference at the suggestion of my sister in law Irene, who thought that I may want to look back one day and remember exactly how huge I was! As you can imagine, I am pretty uncomfortable! But, the longer these guys stay in, the better, so that's what I focus on ( I did ask the doctor today when I could get an epidural..I think he thought I was referring to how early in labor I could get one, but I was actually referring to how early in pregnancy. I would love one right about now!!!!!)

Quite a few things have happened since I last posted. First of all, at 29 weeks I had a labor scare and went to the hospital in Brandon to get assessed. Turns out I was contracting, but not really in labor. I think I was just really over-analyzing what was going on and totally stressed myself out thinking I was going to deliver preemie babies in the toilet at home or something! I have been overly worried about everything since we got the news about Baby B.  But, it made me feel better to get checked out. They gave me some good drugs, and as a result I managed to sleep for 5 hours straight. (which I think is a world record or something for a pregnant lady)

As a result of all this, and the fact that winter has officially arrived, we decided to relocate to Winnipeg. Our doctor agreed and we all feel much better that we are close by should anything happen.

We had a fetal assessment last Thursday which went well. My cervix is still long and holding the boys in there good.

So, that's the latest news! Thank you for all the words of encouragement and comfort that have been extended to us. We are lucky to have such a great group of family and friends in our lives.
