Chugga Chugga Choo Choo

It has been almost a week since I learned that I am 3cm dilated and I still feel the same. Once again, while I may go into labor at any time, the mind is a strong force and now that I am not fearful of it and have had a medical opinion confirm that 3cm is not a big deal, I think I could make my goal of 36 or so weeks. I will try not to get ahead of myself and make it to at least Wed (next ob appt) and week 35. 35 weeks still seems like so little. If nature made it 40 weeks for a single baby I cannot imagine how 35 could be enough for two! If anything I would think you needed longer not less to properly cook two, but who knows. I'm trying to focus on staying pregnant, enjoying since it is almost surely the very last time, and basking in the gratitude of having been amazingly back-pain free and always feeling great despite my HUGE belly. Last time I went to the doctor I was in the 170s and I weighed 185 when M was born and 199!! when J was born, so this has definitely been my healthiest pregnancy. Thank you body and thank you nature for making it so easy so far. Now all I need is a fast natural double delivery and a miracle talent for double nursing!
