Only 29 weeks?

I can't believe I'm only 29 weeks pregnant. I'm so huge and uncomfortable. It's really hard to walk because I have all this pain related to the stretching and repositioning of muscles and bones. It's amazing to me that pain this bad is not cause for concern but I had it with Jack too (although not this bad). It's hard for me to do simple tasks. I folded two loads of laundry and put them away. And it only took me 2 days. I had to pull a chair up next to the armoire because I couldn't walk the 3 feet back and forth from the bed. I'm a sight to behold as Gramma can tell you. My little Jacky is such a sweet little helper. "We" clean the living room. This entails me sitting on the sofa and telling him where to put things "Can you please put daddy's shoes in mommy's room?" etc.

We had a conversation the other day about the babies. I was asking him if he would share mommy and daddy with the "gwils". He said yes he would; because they don't have their own mommy and daddy so he would share his. Jack has spent a lot of time with Gramma (he calls her Yaya) and can't get enough. The first thing he says in the morning is "Can I go to Yaya's... and you stay home?" It's a real ego boost let me tell you. Once in awhile he decides he wants me to go too but if I do he tells me to go home shortly after we get there.

Yaya gives him yummy goodies. Yesterday he came home with mini-marshmallows. He was eating some in the living room and he put one in the waistband of his underwear on his back and I said "What in the world are you doing?" his reply? "It was just giving me a butt kiss." I tried really hard not to laugh but I couldn't help smiling. Where does he come up with this stuff?

The babies will be born within the next 6 weeks according to the doctor. If they don't come on their own then c-section will be performed at 35 weeks. Well I need to go take some medicine to stop my contractions again. I think it's been 3 hours cause I'm starting to feel them creeping up on me.

You are doing great. I'm very proud of all 3 of you. Jack is totally wonderful, and so funny! He has such a lively imagination, and enough personality for several kids. I wish he and his cousins could spend time together. What a gang that would be!

Hang on there Cas, not long now.
Get Gramma to bring some library books over and catch up on some romance novels. I'm reading Janet Evanovich's 11th book now, it starts with "One for the money" etc etc and every book has a number, they have fun to read, full of romance, humour and so on.
