Nursery and 35.5 week update

 

Here I am at 35 1/2 weeks

The swelling in my ankles and feet is down right ridiculous.  They return to a somewhat normal state by morning, but as soon as I get up and move around for a few minutes, they blimp back out....and it's uncomfortable!  They throb and hurt and nothing seems to bring relief.  I am only working half days this week so I come straight home and sit in the recliner.  The swelling still doesn't improve much.  

Dr. Gore update this week: Baby A weighs about 5 pounds 12 ounces and Baby B is about 6 pounds 6 ounces....and Baby B made the turn and is now head down!!!  On Monday he was still breech, on Thursday, he had turned.  Every doctor and nurse told me that there's no way this baby had room to turn this late.  I told them that I'm still having late night prayers and conversations with this baby and I'm certain God can handle turning a tiny little baby since he spoke our entire universe into existence....Glory be to God!! 

I realize there are still a zillion things that can require a c-section, but with both babies in position, I can at least try for a vaginal delivery.  I have complete faith that God knows the best way for these babies to enter the world and I have fantastic doctors who are watching everything so closely.  

How about some nursery pics??
