Catching Up!!!!

It's been quite a while since I have written in my blog. To be honest, I haven't really felt up to it because of this pregnancy. This pregnancy has not been fun. It has been very painful, tiring, and slightly depressing because I am unable to do what I normally do. I really honestly believe that the most difficult thing about this pregnancy is the fact that I have to suck it up, and except that I cannot do it all, and have to get help. Asking for help, has never, and will never be something I enjoy or comes easily to me. Even though it's asking my husband for help, it's still difficult. I enjoy being or at least attempting to be SUPERMOM! May sound lame, but I take pride in being a stay at home mom, having a clean and organized home, and being able to accomplish whatever I set my mind too. 

So much, but also so little has happened since my last posts. I am currently 1 day shy of being 37 weeks pregnant with the twins. We scheduled the c-section for Wednesday, the 28th of November, the day they hit 38 weeks gestation. They seem to be growing quite well, and should be close to or even over 6 pounds at birth. They are running out of room to grow, so they have slowed down a bit. I am anxious to see exactly what they look like, how big they'll be, etc. I went into pre-term labor 2x, once at 28 weeks and then again at 32 weeks, and believe me, that was so scary. I was worried I would have to deliver them when they needed longer to ''bake''. But luckily, they were able to control it, and though I have been living with constant contractions for nearly 10 weeks now, my cervix has stayed shut. I am ever so grateful for modern technology/medicine because it was able to keep my babies in longer, and had I had to deliver them so early, I'm sure they would of eventually of been okay, after a few hiccups. 

Makenna is 2 years old now, and I just can't believe it. She turned 2 on October 5, and it just makes me appreciate the little things in life, and all the wonderful memories I have with just her. Now we have the memories to look forward to with the twins in them, but I am glad I've had the last 2 years of my Princess being pretty much and only child, since her brother doesn't live near us at the moment. I am really looking forward to June, when all my kids are living under the same roof permanently. Then we'll have even more amazing memories and more amazing times to share together. 

My husband and I are doing quite well. I am proud to say November 14th was our 3 year ''dating anniversary'' and we've been married for 2 years and 4 months. Things have been tough because the intimate part of our relationship ended months ago because of the pregnancy. We've had to use other aspects of a relationship to compensate for the loss, so to speak. I think it's made us bond more, but I am looking forward to getting that part back.    

Though I haven't been the most optimistic person in the world lately, but I am thankful for all that I have, and all that is coming my way!
