32 Weeks!
Today "A" and I made it to our landmark 32 weeks. It was a Sunday and we were relieved to have gotten this far. "A" said we should celebrate with desert and so we did. We haven't been real active these last few weeks. Of course, "A" has a reason. I, however, do not. I think about all the things I should get done before the babies arrive, so we are ready. I have the nursery painted and the cribs in place. A month from today we might just be expecting them to come home. "A" would be at 36 weeks then, but neither of us expect her to make it that far. If she could, it would be wonderful. In some ways though, for "A", I almost hate to see it go on that much longer. She is fairly miserable now and because the babies gain so much at the end of the pregancy, I can't imagine what 36 weeks might be like. I have spent some down time with "A" taking naps and watching movies when we can. Today we relaxed most of the day and I tell myself that there will be little rest and certainly no movies soon, so to take advantage of the time (although not without a little guilt). Last weekend we even we as far as to watch a movie on Lifetime. That and watching true hollywood stories on E television have to be the ultimate in lost weekends in lazytown.
It is hard to believe that any day now we could be having these babies. I was so scared when we found out that we might not make it this far and the babies could suffer as a result of prematurity. We are lucky.
