34 weeks, dilated

Finally 34 weeks pregnant with twin set number two! I feel accomplished making it this far with twins again and lucky, don't forget lucky. I am also very uncomfortable, I feel like I am more uncomfortable this time around, probably because I just had twins 20 months ago and that's a lot to put on your body once let alone twice in 2 years. Sorry body, I hope you forgive me! I do think it will be worth it once its all over and these babies are born big and healthy and put in their dad's arms. I can not wait for that day, hopefully it's only about 3 weeks away.  I had my 34 week appointment the other day nothing out of the ordinary 2 strong heartbeats. She didn't tell me how big I was measuring but that's probably for the best, I already weigh more now than I did when I had the last set of twins and I have 3 weeks left so that's fairly disappointing! I also feel like I'm more swollen this time. Lots of swelling in my legs and everyone tells me I look bigger this time than last. The good news is I know how to loose the weight so I will start that ASAP! Hopefully about 2-3 weeks after delivery. I had to wait a long time last time because I sprained my ankle 2 weeks after delivery (no playing soccer this time)
Then she checked my cervix and did my GBS. I'm dilated 4 almost 5 and I told her she can check me again at 36 weeks because I don't want to know until I'm closer lol. Weird thing, I've never been GBS positive but this time I am. Out of 6 pregnancies I've been negative 5 times, it's not a big deal to be positive, I just think it's strange.
Still lots of contractions and back pain if I stand for more than 5 minutes which is understandable since I have at least 10lbs of baby in there which is more than most women will ever carry at one time. I'll find out Monday an estimated weight when I have my next and final sono!!! As excited as I am to not be pregnant anymore I'm lying if I say I 'm not worried about the pain of labor. You'd think after having 6 babies without an epidural one of those breech I'd say, whatever no big deal it's just a little pain, but it hurts like hell! I just pray it goes fast and nothing bad happens. I am of course worried about bleeding excessively since this is my 6th delivery and 2nd set of twins. I am at an increased risk so just keep me in your prayers that all goes smoothly! Worst case scenario they take my uterus and I'm done with that thing so, no worries there. Here's to one more delivery two healthy babies,  One healthy surro mommy, and a big happy family!
