31 Weeks and Still Going....

I'll start the same as usual....

I went to both doctors this week (yes, I am now seeing both of my doctors weekly) and both said the same thing as usual, things look great!  I am showing no signs of needing to deliver these babies anytime in the next couple of weeks.

My appointment on Tuesday was with my doctor.  He told me to prepare to deliver anytime within the next 7 weeks.  All I could think is that he is CrAzY if he thinks I am going to carry these babies to 37 weeks!!  He also told me, much to Trey's dismay, that my belly button would most likely not pop out.  I know, strange thing for me to talk about, but Trey was very disappointed when it stayed in with Bryan, so I had to ask the doctor about this time.  I try to find humor where I can!!  After my Tuesday appointment, I had all intentions of going to visit my school.  However, right as I was getting there, the tornado sirens started go off, so I hightailed it home.  I made it home fine and hunkered down for the storms heading toward Forney.  I watched the weather reports as the storms moved across the metroplex.  I ended up in the bathroom on the floor when I heard what I thought was furniture being thrown into the side of our house, turned out to be baseball sized hail.  It was all very scary - I was home alone and completely panicked that I did not have Bryan with me, especially when I heard how close the tornadoes were to Laura.  However, I knew deep down that he was safe with Laura.  She was AMAZING!!!  I don't know how she kept calm in the face of the storms with two toddlers.  I cannot say it enough that we are truly blessed to have Laura keeping Bryan.

OK, enough of the storms....  I went to the specialist on Thursday, as usual.  They are the ones who will most likely determine when I will deliver.  And as for now, I have at least 2 more weeks.

Enough serious stuff, I have decided to share, just for laughs, the top 10 things that I can no longer do....

1. Get out of bed in less than 30 seconds.  This actually takes about 5 different movements, one of which is hooking my foot on the side of the bed to pull me up to sitting.

2. Pick up anything that I drop.  If it hits the floor, it pretty much stays there until Trey gets home.

3. Tie the drawstring on my sweat pants.  That's right, my arms are not long enough to reach the bottom of my ever growing belly!

4. Have Bryan sit in my lap.  Try as he may, he just doesn't fit.  Poor baby tries really hard to push my belly out of his way, but it isn't going anywhere.  Thankfully, he has settled for sitting beside me.

5. Climb the stairs without stopping at least twice.

6. Sit up straight, I can recline or lay down.

7. Along the same lines.... Drive without looking like I am from the hood.  Yes, I now have to lean my seat back, to the point where I can barely reach the steering wheel, to be able to get my belly behind the wheel!

8. Wear any shoes, except flip flops... Not because my feet are swollen (although they are a little), but because I can not reach my feet to put them on.

9. Eat more than a kid's size portion of anything - if that!!  Trey laughs at me because I will order a meal, eat a couple of bites and then be completely full, there is just NO MORE ROOM!!!

10. Go anywhere without being asked when I am due - and then getting crazy looks when I say June with no explanation.
