I am back to work now. Day three. And I am so exhausted it is unbelievable! I am having a hard time breathing, eating, sleeping and getting comfortable. I am still throwing up almost every night now and I am just done. Seriously. I am done!
I went in for my NST today and baby B's heart rate wasn't accelerating like it should so they almost admitted me to triage. I was hoping they would so we could have these girls. Yeah, no such luck! UGH!!!!! I know I should wait a few more weeks, I know it will benefit them, I know it's only a few weeks to go but I don't know how much more I can take. Isn't that horrible to say??? I just want my girls in my arms. I WANT THEM NOW!!!!!!!
So her heart rate finally did what it was supposed to do so they sent me back to work. Yippy!
I am cranky, I am upset all the time, I am not in the mood for anything, I don't want to be on the computer, I don't want to blog, I don't want to get up in the morning and I don't want to be sitting here at work right now because I am ready to crash! Ok, enough negativity.
On a positive note, 27 days until my c section. Thank you Lord!!!! I am still hoping for sometime next week. We'll see though. We have everything ready. We're just waiting on these two little miracles to arrive! Come on girls, mommy can't wait to meet you!!!! We love you sooooo much!!!!

24 Hour jug......
That's right, I am peeing in a huge orange jug. UGH!!!
I have been feeling really bad the last couple of nights. I have been vomiting, swollen and just plain ol' uncomfortable. Hubby called me when he got out of work and I was crying so hard he couldn't understand me. I finally calmed down and told him how I was feeling. He immediately told me to call the OB. I argued with him but he won. I called and of course, she said to go into labor and delivery. So off we went. Turns out, I have some protein in my urine so they want to do a 24 hour test on me. If it is over a certain number, the babies will be here this week. I'll keep you all posted.
Again, please forgive me for not commenting on your blogs. I can hardly reach the laptop and sitting up for a long period of time is uncomfortable. I promise to get better. Please forgive me.
I hope everyone had a Merry CHRISTmas.
Love,
Kami

We have a date!!!!
I finally feel like there is an end in sight!
I am scheduled to have my c-section on January 26th at 11:15 a.m.!!!! Whooo hooo!!
Now, of course, the OB and the nurse both said I will most likely go before then. The OB seems to think I will have the babies within the next three weeks. I can't believe that!! My cervix has shortened to a 3 but it remains closed. My blood pressure is doing well but is rising slowly. I am still not swollen. Only a little in the morning. And are you ready for this??? My belly is measuring at a whopping 43 weeks! That is nine weeks ahead. Holy moly!!! The OB said yesterday that my body thinks I am 43 weeks so I need to take it easy. Yeah, you think!!!
So, I return to work on Monday. The reason behind that is I only get paid for four weeks short term disability. I can take off as long as I want or the doctor wants but I won't get paid because I have only been with the company for less than two years. My husband and I can't afford not to get paid so that forces me to go back to work. Another thing is my short term disability is also our maternity leave so if I remain at home and I go into labor, they will deduct the weeks I have been off from my maternity leave and that will force me to go back to work within a few weeks from having them. It stinks! I absolutely hate it and I think it should be different for people with more that one baby. But oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
The good thing is that I am doing pretty well aside from all the aches and pains. I have been thinking that going back to work will make my time go quicker too so that will be nice. Also, I'll be on sit down work only so they won't have me doing much of anything. Thank goodness!
So there you have it. I'll be 34 weeks on Saturday, which the OB said we are now past the critical point and the babies will not suffer from any long term problems (Thank you Lord!) With the way I am going, the OB thinks the girls will be here in about two weeks! Please pray for my little babies! I need to keep them in for two more weeks. Then we can bring them home with us! Yay!
Oh, Mia (baby A) is 4 pounds 12 oz. and Samantha (baby b) is 4 pounds 7 oz. I have almost 10 pounds of baby in my belly! No wonder I am miserable! LOL
Again, I know what is going on with all of you. I am keeping up, just not commenting at this time. As soon as I get back to work, I'll be able to. LOL
Merry Christmas everyone!!!! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

I NEED TO VENT!!!!
I am miserable. I know this isn't the right time to be saying this but I am cooked. Done. Kaput. I cried so hard last night, then had a breakdown from hell because it only got worse. Then I cried even harder because I worked so effing (that's right! I almost swore!) hard for these babies and I am acting like an ass. It takes over six years to finally get pregnant, then 22 weeks of morning sickness, then major stomach pains and now I can't sleep, I can't eat because if I do, I throw up while sleeping. (Have you ever had vomit shoot out your nose more than once?) I have heartburn from hell.
I am so ready to have these babies. I want my body back. I want to be able to make love to my husband. I want to be able to sleep on my belly, I want to be able to hold my husband tight. To snuggle up to him, all of me! I want to be able to get out of bed without rolling over, grabbing the headboard, hoisting myself up and then almost falling over to get to the bathroom 50 times in the night because I have to pee. I just want my baby girls. I want them here with me.
And to top that off, I have to go back to work next week. I HAVE to or else I don't get paid. I am miserable and extremely exhausted and I have to work 8 hours a day on top of it. All I have to say is I hope I go into labor a week after going back to work so I can get a second claim through disability for maternity leave. I am a hot mess girls and I know some of you are cursing me right now but I have no where else to vent. Hubby did awesome with me last night. He comforted me and held me and that was so nice. I just needed to get this off my chest!!!
Thank you and so sorry for the vent.
Good news though, I am only 5 days away from lung maturity with my babies. I keep telling myself, "Kami, you are doing so good keeping these babies in. You are a rock star!!!" Minus the groupies and tight leather. LOL
I just need to stay positive and it is getting so hard. So very hard.

Updates and nursery pictures!
Sorry I haven't been on much. I've been a little preoccupied with appointments and getting the nursery ready. It isn't complete yet but we got most of the things up. We still have to get some rugs and hang up the valence. Our furniture doesn't match but who can say no to a free changing table. I really don't care. As long as I have one. That's all that matters. One thing I did notice though is I really don't have a lot of clothes for the girls so I will be doing a lot of laundry. This is even with all the generous donations I received from all of you! I guess having two babies is a little different! LOL No big deal, more laundry it is!
I went to the OB on Tuesday and yesterday, I had my very first NST done. That is a non stress test for the babies. The OB appointment went well. I am now up 42 pounds! So it looks like I am gaining 1 pound a week now. I'll take it. If that's the case, then I will stay under 50 pounds by the time the girls get here. Less to try to lose. Anyway, both babies heartbeats were nice and strong. My blood pressure is still good, no swelling and yada yada yada. Nothing new to report. I get to see them via ultrasound next Wednesday so I am excited to see how big they are now. I am hoping they are approaching 5 pounds. If so, I am going to be a very happy camper. So is hubby. Every pound they gain, he gets more and more excited! If you remember, he lost one of his triplets at birth and the other two were only two pounds so they had a horrible experience. We just want to bring these babies home with us. I want to give him a different experience. I want him to enjoy his babies out of the NICU. I am praying. Please pray with me. Thank you.
So, I'll know more about the babes next weeks. I'll leave you with our nursery pictures. Like I said, nothing matches but I really don't care. Enjoy!
And finally. The HUGE belly!!! 32 weeks all! Still no stretch marks. Praying I can keep those away. For all you twin moms out there, when did yours show or did they at all???

Dear Father in Heaven........
I want to give praise to You today for blessing me with these two beautiful baby girls. When I feel them moving around, it is the best feeling in the world! You have answered my prayers and I want to praise You Lord all the days of my life! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I just realized I haven't posted in so long. I am so bad at this lately. What is my excuse? Nothing at all. I'm in bed most of the day. I am lazier now than I have ever been. I have a sink full of dishes calling my name and a few loads of laundry I need to fold and put away but if I get up for more than a short time, my contractions start. So I am too scared to do anything! I did have to take my car into the shop yesterday because it is crapping out on me. I finally got it fixed so that makes me happy. Thank God for my warranty! I wanted to make sure it was ready to go for our baby girls. I have to keep them safe. So while at the dealer, I started to feel dizzy and exhausted. I came straight home and went right to bed. I took a two hour nap. It was much needed. I am not sleeping much anymore because I am so uncomfortable.
I will be 32 weeks tomorrow. I am in awe of how far I have carried these babies. I really didn't think I would make it this far. I am now praying to make it another two weeks to get to the 34 weeks mark. My goal is to get to 36 weeks. Let's see if I can make it! That is only 4 weeks away!!! 4 WEEKS AWAY LADIES!!!! AHHHHHHH
And you want to know something? I haven't started the nursery yet. I haven't washed the babies clothes, we haven't purchased the cribs. Talk about procrastinating. Goodness! We are actually going tomorrow to purchase the cribs with my MIL. That was our gift from her. The only problem, they don't have any in stock so we will have to wait another 7-14 days to receive them. Watch, I'll be in the hospital giving birth while hubby is at home putting the cribs together. LOL Oh well, we have pack and plays! LOL
I am really feeling "weird" lately. I think I started to lose my mucus plug last night. Just a little. Not sure. I have two appointments next week so I'll talk to the OB about it. I told hubby this morning that I have a feeling I will be in the hospital at Christmas. I don't know why but I do. I really hope not but I have been having more lower back pain and pains in my lower abdomen. We'll see. I'm praying for four more weeks though.
I wanted to apologize for not commenting on your blogs. I promise I read them every day and I know what is going on with all of you. I can't sit up for a long period of time and laying down on my side and typing is impossible for me so just know I am thinking about all of you and am reading every day!
Hubby will take a picture of me tomorrow so you all can see how big I am getting. This is the first time I feel like my butt is little. LOL Because my belly is so big. I told hubby that I will never complain about getting big or feeling big or anything. I have definitely learned a lesson. LOL
Ok, enough rambling. OH, I got a skip hop diaper bag for $20.00 last night off of Babies R Us website. It is originally $70.00. I know a lot of people commented on how small my diaper bag was so I got a bigger one! I'm sure I'll be using it!
Ok, now I'm done rambling. Going to lay down now.
Hugs,
Kami

Dear Miss Mia....
Honey,
Mommy loves you so very much. You are the apple of my eye. BUT your little booty in my ribs is starting to wear on me little one. Don't get me wrong, I love to feel you inside my tummy but why can't you be like Sam and just chill? Do you have to move all the time causing mommy to wretch in pain while stopping me in my tracks? You are going to be just like your big sister K. She is a handful and I have a feeling you will be too. Sam is just like her big sister A. She just goes with the flow. It's amazing how I already know you both are going to be different babies. Which I absolutely love by the way. I have wanted you girls for so long so I guess a few more weeks with your little tush in my ribs isn't that bad. It's funny to give you a little pat on your bottom and you move. Only to come back a few minutes later so mommy can pat you again. Too funny. Well anyway my love, please be good to me today. This is getting really hard on me so one day of comfort is all I am asking. Ok, maybe a few more. You are worth every ache and pain though and I know I am going to miss you inside of me. So maybe it's mommy that needs to chill! Ha! Love you sweet peanut.
Love,
Mommy

Thanksgiving and Christmas tree pictures....
I want to start off this post by saying three years ago today, I married my soul mate. Nothing ever prepared me for a marriage like ours. I am so happy to be married to this man. Nobodies marriage is perfect and we have had our moments but I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you God for bringing us together and I pray for many more years to come. Who would of thought, three years later, we are also blessed with two beautiful baby girls on top of the two beautiful seven year old girls already in our life. How lucky am I?? Happy Anniversary hubby!! I love you!
These are our Christmas tree pictures. We absolutely love our tree. It is a little on the big side but perfect for our family. We have years worth of memories on our tree and I can't wait to make more memories.
On Thanksgiving morning, I went to my moms for a few hours and then headed to my sister in laws house for dinner. The food was yummy. I must say though, I was exhausted. Here are some pictures.

Stay off your feet!!!!!
Is what my doctor told me yesterday! Whooo hooo is what I was thinking in my head. It's about darn time!!!!
Today is my last day of work. I am officially on modified rest at home. Thank You Lord!!!! I can't tell you how much I needed this. My body is ready to give up on me and it can't. I have to cook these little miracles for a few more weeks.
I had an appointment yesterday and Baby A (Mia) was weighing in at 3 lbs 4oz. Baby B (Samantha) was weighing in at 3 lbs. 7oz! Grow babies grow!!! We are so excited they are growing and both look healthy! Mia is now resting on mommies cervix so the doctor would like me to lay down and keep her off of it as much as possible. My blood pressure is going up just slightly and I have gained three more pounds! I am at a whopping 180!!! Oh yeah! I have gained 40 lbs baby! All worth it though.
Other than that. We got our Christmas tree up so I will have to post pictures. Now that I will have a lot more time on my hands, I can start posting more and commenting on every ones blogs like I always wanted too but my life is so hectic, it made it hard. Can I get a Whooo hoo!!!!
I will post tomorrow with Thanksgiving pictures and Christmas tree pictures.
