3rd Trimester :)

It is unbelievable how fast time flies. It feels like it was just July and we were just starting all this IVF craziness. The babies are doing so well too. I can not wait to meet them. They are both over 2 lbs each so I just know that they will be big and healthy when they get here.

I went for my 2nd PTL screening and everything came back great; so it seems that I should be safe for another 2 weeks. The peri said that they usually stop the PTL screening at 33 or 34 weeks and I'm on my own at that point. CRAZY!!!! 34 weeks is only 7 weeks away. I just can't wrap my head around that. I hope they cook for a bit longer than that, but 34 weeks just sounds so soon!!!

On the nursery front, we are just about done. We just have to do some finishing work and then just put everything that we get in there. My shower is only 3 weeks away so I can't wait to get everything situated. Mom has been great. She is getting really excited about the boys - it's not that she wasn't excited before but I can just tell now she feels like it's more real. Other than that, it hasn't seemed like too much of my family is all that into it. I mean I know they are, but no one calls or anything like that. I mean I don't really care becuase I know they'll be thrilled oonce the boys get here, but I'm not going to bend over backwards to accommodate them (read my father and step mother) when the boys get here.

On the exhaustion front - I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO TIRED IN MY LIFE!!!!!! I haven't sleept in about 3 weeks and for the life of me I can't get comfy for more than two hours at a time. I hope this is just a phase that I'll grow out of in a few weeks. My hips and my back hurt so much and it just makes me so frustrated that I can't sleep. I can't imagine another 10 weeks of this, but I am so thrilled about having them all to myself for another 10 wks. I have to say that no matter how exhausted I am or how much pain I'm in, I will defintely miss being pregnant with them. I know that sounds crazy, because once they are here they'll BE HERE and I can hug and kiss them and hold them. But right now they are all mine. They go with me everywhere and I keep them safe and only I can feel them move. I just know I'll miss those things when they are born.
