32 weeks

Well, the girls have made it to another milestone, and their lungs are producing surfactant, which will increase their survivability if they were to be born now. Of course the doctors want them to stay in there until at least 35 weeks, but it's a relief they have made it to the 32nd week. Once off the mag IV, they have been very active and kicking a lot. A bit too much kicking for my comfort, but squirmy babies are healthy babies. They hate being monitored--the nurses do it three times a day for an hour (over an hour since the girls move away from and/or kick the monitors after 20-30 minutes), and I get restless sitting still for that long. I'm already going stir crazy but once I get to have wheelchair rides (30 minutes), I think maybe it'll help break up the monotony. The nurses are taking great care of me, and Kason stops by when he can. He traded in Tina for a 2013 Ford Edge yesterday, which was bittersweet. I had fun with Tina, but now it's time for a new chapter in our lives. It's so weird to think that I won't be able to even see my new car until the girls are here! In the meantime, I've been reading, watching HGTV and Food Network (I miss cooking!), and making baby blankets. If the blankets turn out well, I'll try my hand at booties and beanies. I am taking it a day at a time, really, and getting bigger each day. Bake, my little cupcakes!
