Let's Dance!

That's right, today is 32 weeks and tomorrow we are going to deliver 4 healthy babies! So, you can get your dancing shoes out and have a ball! (This is the final link on my chain to countdown to 32 weeks!)

My two personal goals for this pregnancy were babies over 3.5 lbs (which technically isn't official until tomorrow, but unless estimates were way off, this should be accomplished) and to make it to 32 weeks. I am kind of in awe that I have managed to meet both goals (with a lot of prayer and God's vigilant watch).

I'll be honest, I am getting nervous about surgery, but it sounds like the doctors have everything ready for every possible scenario. They will be wisking the babies away pretty quickly, so I don't know that I will see them in the delivery room, but hopefully I will get to make a quick pass by the NICU after recovery.

I am hooked up to a low dose of mag sulfate today just for the benefit of neuro-protective qualities for babies and it is making my head a little woozy, but otherwise not too bad. I'm ready to get this show on the road and be on the other side. Ready to start the next crazy part of this journey.

Final belly picture, taken this morning! Another thing I am looking forward to is reduced swelling and hopefully starting to look and feel like myself again!!!
Can't wait to meet our four new miracles tomorrow. We are praying for healthy outcomes all the way around!
On a side note: I was a little premature to celebrate Jackson's peanut allergy. The blood test came back positive for peanut allergy, even though the skin test was negative. Oh well, it's not like that is a new thing for us! :)
