36 weeks, And I can't believe it.

I've actually made it to 36 whole weeks. That's 252 days. 6048 hours of niggles and aches and hunger and peeing and kicks and wriggles and attempts at sleep. I deserve a medal. Or at least a really huge piece of cake. Or maybe just the whole cake...

Things have been quite crazy in the last 10 weeks:

- We got the kitchen done (which took over a month and I was ready to kill anyone in my path...)
- We did the babies nursery. My mum and uncle came and painted the room, and whilst hubby went off to India for a wedding mum and I went and bought all the furniture and set the room up.
- I went for several NCT sessions and even a TAMBA (twins and multiples) seminar. Birth and tips on once the baby is here were all covered and it was fantastic. I also met some lovely ladies who live nearby due around the same time as me. The TAMBA seminar especially was a real eye opener, and when I left I wanted to cry! The lady giving the seminar has her own twins, and was very frank about what to expect with 2. Bloody hell it was more than scary!! But it seems that I'll just have to be extra organised and extra composed... And breathe... I can do it. I can do it. I really REALLY can do it!
- My boys growth slowed a little about 3 weeks ago and I have been having heartbeat monitoring twice a week just to make sure all is OK.
- Mummy moved in a week ago and will be here through until January. It's been so amazing spending time with her, she's just done so much I have no way to thank her. And then I'll REALLY need her when the little ones get here!

I'm now so heavy I can hardly move any more and I'm beyond sleepy all the time... But at least I now have a real countdown. The c-section will be taking place early December, so there are literally days left now!

Am I scared? Very. Am I anxious? Extremely. Am I excited? More than anything in this world... I can't even imagine that moment when I meet my sweet little babies for the first time. I know I'm going to just cry throughout for the first couple of days because I'll be completely overwhelmed. Everything is washed, prepped, organised, folded and stored ready for their arrival. Praying and hoping all goes smoothly, I just really can not wait now...
