So d-day is less than 10 weeks away. In the past few months, we've moved our son into the room that we thought would be our guest room forever, we traded in the practical, fuel efficient car that we carefully chose when we had our first son (planning on 2 babies) for a minivan, and we've acquired a room full of carseats, bouncy chairs, basinettes, and baby clothes from friends and family who have been so generous. Just need some diapers and wipes, and we are all set for babies.
This past week (28 weeks) was really hard for me. This is the week when I really started to slow down. I can't do things that I used to do, and worst of all, I can't fully participate in my son's life in the way that I want to. That said, knowing a couple of people who both had twins at 27 weeks, I am very grateful to still have my babies inside of me - growing bigger and stronger. It's hard though.
I'm going part-time at work this week and will gradually reduce my work until I can't continue. I'm lucky to work in a place where I am accommodated, and do not take that for granted.
So I am lucky, I am frustrated, I am big, I am grateful, and I am getting my head around two babies coming into my family in the coming months.
It's been a big week!
