Yowzers!

We made it to 32 weeks!!! Throughout the whole pregnancy, the doctor has stressed how important it is to get to 32 weeks and we are finally here! Obviously, the longer they stay in the better, but we are so happy that we've made it this far. My poor body is telling me that it's just about had enough of being pregnant as I've become extremely uncomfortable and am finding it hard to even walk to the bathroom. This is probably due to the babies' size and their locations - Baby A's head is so low in my pelvis that they couldn't even look at his head during today's ultrasound. Looks like he's ready to come out! And speaking of getting ready, my contractions have really picked up in frequency and intensity the past few days. They have started giving me awful medications to relax my irritable uterus and they seem to help, but make me feel terrible in the meantime. I wonder how long they're going to keep this up?
