Double Trouble, but Double the Fun!: 35 weeks...Jude and Chloe, Mommy is ready for you to be here!!

I'm 35 weeks and feeling more pregnant then EVER! My belly is HUGE and I'm officially super uncomfortable. While my feet and ankles have not swelled (knock on wood), my fingers have and they like to go numb at night...it's so delightful :/ I'm also experiencing a lot of pelvic pressure and have to use the bathroom every 30 minutes these days. But I know it's not too much longer before we get to meet our sweet babies, so I'm trying to overlook the discomfort as much as possible by focusing on getting in as many naps as I can and making sure everything is ready for when Jude and Chloe decide to make their arrival!
This past week Matt's family was in town for the annual Bryant beach week down at Kure Beach. It was so relaxing and fun to hang out with everyone and get some quality time in. They threw us a baby shower at the beach house and Chloe and Jude continue to get spoiled with tons of adorable clothes, toys, baby essentials and...a double BOB jogging stroller from Mimi and Papa!!!! I was SUPER surprised and am sooooo excited to be able to get back in shape with my babies in that amazing ride!
We also had a baby shower thrown by our close neighborhood friends this past week. It was held at Lou and Lori's house and was so much fun! My parents came in town for it and it was so nice having one last weekend with them before the babies are here. We have been so fortunate to have so many close family and friends in our life that have gone out of their way to help prepare us for this next chapter in our life. Through all these showers we have received practically everything we needed and can not explain in words how thankful we are for everyone's generosity!
I'm still going to my OB office weekly to get the babies' heart rates monitored. Everything has been looking good. Next week, at 36 weeks, will be my last visit and ultrasound with my high risk doctor. I'm anxious to see how much they have grown in 3 weeks! My tentative induction date is Sunday June 24th...but I'm hoping they decide to come on their own before then! So now it's just a waiting game...crazy! Matt and I plan to go to the movies and out to dinner this weekend...maybe the beach again if I'm feeling up for it. Won't be too much longer before our world as we know is going to be changed forever...but we can not wait for the change and to finally meet our precious angels!

Love,
Emily
