42 Hours

42 hours until delivery!!  I can do 42 hours (I think).  I have felt really really good today, which has been a change from earlier this week.  The weather makes such a difference for ALL of us.  I'm trying to get all the good things to eat before my c-section since I have been told I will go on a strict diet of liquid and jello for several days after.  Plus I want to make sure the babies get all that good food (Cafe Rio, Lime Rickeys, Snickers...) before they have to come out and eat just formula.  Gross.

Along with everyone else I CAN NOT believe that I have made it to 38 weeks.  Not just that I was able to do it physically but emotionally and mentally.  I did have a few days at 36 weeks that I kind of checked out and said, "These babies are coming this week.  They are going to come."  Even after having two kids I didn't believe that my body was really in charge, not me.  I walked and walked and walked.... and nothing happened except getting a bad back ache.  So I gave up and decided I would just let my body decide.  And it has decided that the babies will not come before Sunday.  And that's ok.  Now I can clean my house and do laundry and have all that stuff ready for when I come home from the hospital.

Collin cries every time we talk about how I will be in the hospital for a few days.  I know that he will be just fine, and that Chase has ton's of really fun things planned and they are going to do great.  But it makes me feel loved and sad at the same time.

Here I am at 37 weeks.  I will take another picture on Sunday morning when we leave for the hospital at 7 AM :)
