35 weeks

So, 35 weeks....TIRED!  Need I say more?  I was measuring 41 weeks at my appointment this week. The week before I was at 39. Doesn't seem quite fair to gain 2 weeks in 1 week, but I guess there are 2 babies in there and they seem to want sweet things like ice cream!  That might have something to do with the weather also since it's been pretty hot these last couple of weeks. I really should plan this surrogacy thing a little better. IF there's a next time it'll be a winter delivery. :)
The swelling is kicking in full force this week no matter how much I elevate my legs they swell! I've definitely seen worse being a nurse and all, and I kinda like the swelling because in my head it's weight that's gonna just fall off after delivery. You don't have to workout to get rid of fluid!  Of coarse I'll still have to workout but those pounds will be easy to loose. As of this morning I'm up 50lbs :( this is normal weight gain for a twin pregnancy but still saddens me a little I think that's why I'm so happy about the fluid retention.
Induction day is set for the 21st if I make it that far?  Kinda torn about it because I want things to start on their own, but I want my IP's and my Dr to all be there when it happens. The obvious solution to everyone being there is an induction. Maybe I'll get lucky and go into labor on my induction day?!?!  That's only 3 weeks from today I can't believe it. 3 weeks that's nothing!  That's only like 9 more work days for me. I can do 9 more days of work right?  I guess time will tell.
Lots of contractions this week. They seem to be more frequent and a little stronger, but still not regular. I'm interested to see what my cervix is doing, but also don't want to irritate it by checking it. So I'll be patient and wait.
Right now my bed and my bathtub are my best friends I love them they make me super happy!  And my husband and my kids are also very helpful. My son made me Mac and cheese the other day for dinner and brought it to me while I was in the bathtub. He's so good to me, and my husband has been doing a lot of cooking lately so I don't have to which is awesome. I think I'll keep them all, at least till this pregnancy is over!  Lol
I guess that's all for now till next week! :)
