35 Weeks...

  Well my friends today we are officially 35 weeks!  I cannot believe we have only a short 3 week window until the babies will be here in our lives and come to their first home!  Its crazy to me to think about time and how it just slowly passes and yet it is so fast.  Last night I was reading a book that I have read throughout this pregnancy and I can't believe we are at the "Bringing Babies Home" chapter (which I have already read... like 3 months ago), but still we are almost there.  The end is in sight.  I keep telling myself to stay positive because our world will be flipped upside down very soon, but when you get this close and you feel this big (all 200 pounds of me), you just start to feel "finished."
  I think about how amazing it will be to meet them for the first time.  We will have our own babies now, we can't just hold them and snuggle them and send them on their way, these babies will be ours... forever.  I just can barely take it in somedays.  I can't wait to hear that newborn cry and that first time we get to hold them.  We already love these little babies so much I can't imagine loving them even more when they are here.
  There has been some indication that the time nigh, I have had more Braxton Hicks contractions ( I am willing each one of them to be a real one anytime)... now I might be weird but I am really curious about how a real contraction actually feels... I just want to feel one so bad!  There are a few other indications about impending labor just generally feeling like its time.  Call it instinct or whatever or maybe I am just anxious or maybe I am coming out in sympathy for my sister (who has her c-section scheduled for Monday).  I kind of want our babies to all be born on the same day... is that really asking too much?
  There are a lot of feeling to sift through when the end is near.  I was just saying to Dallas last night that before we were counting down in months then it was near enough that we could start counting down in weeks, and here we are counting down the days till we are officially parents!  Crazy!  I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Much Love
