Gosh i am so proud of my body for keeping these little babies in for so long but i was really hoping for some change in my cervix from last week...alas there was none. I'm still 50% effaced. I can't wait to meet them! I know this can change at any time so i'm trying to be optimistic. I know i sound so selfish but i can't help it. Thankfully i finish work on the 29th as i think that's part of my problem. Weekends i can sit around, get up when i want and it's not a big deal..week days i get up, shower feet the animals and go to work. I had cut my hours down to 8-3 but it is still very hard to make it through the day. By thursday I am just pooped and not very happy lol. So hopefully if i leave on the 29th i'll be able to keep them in there longer more comfortably.
Car seats are installed!!! I put the window shades on the car as well. So we are all set for these little ones to make their grand appearance.
My dr's appt on thursday went well. I got an u/s and the fluid is good, no cord issues and they looked very content. I got to see their bladders empty and making fists. My dh missed this one as it wasn't scheduled. I felt so bad for him. But he was ok as long as the babies are good.
Some stats on me - i have gained about 35 pds if you go by my starting weight. If you go by my morning sickness end date where i actually started gaining weight i've gained 45 pds. This to me is the more accurate one but for some reason they don't see it that way. My belly is measuring for a 44wk pregnancy!!!
I have stretch marks now but fortunately you can't see them in the pics are they are basically just shiny lines at the moment. They aren't the deep purple ones thank god. I feel bad for anyone that get's those.
So anyone who picked 36wks I guess it could still happen during 36wks but i have a feeling they are coming next weekend...37wks!! I have always measured a week ahead so i consider myself 37wks right now so to make it until next weekend would be awesome!! Guess i don't have to worry about preemies now which is awesome!!!!

Woohoo!!! Congrats on making it to 36 weeks! Sounds like you're ready for babies to arrive! My guess is 37 weeks 3 days :)
You are amazing!! Remember to try to relax and rest!!
Thank you for the sweet comment! I've been thinking about you this weekend and hoping everything was ok with your ultrasound. I saw your updated on multiples and was so relieved that they weren't too concerned and would let you bake a little longer! Can't wait to see pics of your little ones!!
I can't wait for them to get here!! Thinking of you!!!
