Week 36-Baring It All

I got the best news at my doctor's appointment today! I am going to have my girls next week! It will be either the 2nd or the 3rd. I am just waiting for the scheduler to call me to make the arrangements. Dr. Wisebaker took one look at me today and said we were making a plan, and of course, I wasn't going to argue with her. The babies are still breech, so we are going with the C-section. The idea that I am going to be a mom in a week or so is beyond exciting. I cannot wait to hold my babies!


So up until this point, in my pregnancy higlights posts, I have put up a pic of me. This week, I decided to show the bare belly, more so for my own documentation than for anything else. Now I know why people stop me and make comments! Not only is my belly big, but it is hanging SO low, so it looks like I am ready to deliver at any moment. I wonder if I will miss the belly after I have the girls. Maybe there will come a time that I will, but right now, I am ready to not have the belly! I am ready to have the babies here.
