BRIEF update -
34 weeks tomorrow. Literally ANY day now.
Off Methadone (manic narcolepsy and massive itching is NOT a good thing)
On Oxycontin (not working as well on pain, but no longer psycho, so good all around)
Survived 34th Birthday yesterday, despite false alarm trip to Labor and Delivery - Kevin made sugar-free cake and frosting from SCRATCH. Chocolate, natch. Joy.
Spring starts this week, and I couldn't be happier.
Storing up on sleep since that any DAY now could just as easily be any NIGHT now.
Actually making headway on the sweaters, so maybe my girls won't be coming home nekid.
Missing you all like crazy, and thankful for your thoughts and well wishes. You rock!

Update
Hi folks -
I'll be 32 weeks pregnant with the girls this coming Sunday, and am now gearing up for 34 weeks, or right around the Equinox. 32 was a MAJOR milestone for me, and 34 is no different, but with my pain levels (and resultant narcotics use) doubling every few days, two more weeks sounds like an eternity.
Ah well. The girls should be about 4.5 lbs by this time next week, and every day I make it though makes their chances of being 100% A-ok that much better, so I am just taking it one day at a time, and using every trick in the book to not go crazy with it all.
That all said, I have been 1 cm dilated for a week and a half, and we never know when this show is going to get on the road all by itself. Trouble with that is that both girls are lying sideways across my uterus (stacked like cordwood!) so I CAN'T have them vaginally at this point, unless they both move A LOT.
Anyway, thanks for the ongoing support - I really appreciate you all! More news when two criteria are met: a) that I have any new news to impart, and b) when I have the brain, body and presence of mind to actually report any of it at the same time.
Enjoy! Spring is almost here!
