36 weeks!!!! YAY!!!!

Well I can't believe we made it this far, but it sure is a blessing! :)

I went to the chiropractor today and I explained to him that the OB is wanting to induce soon if the babies don't come on their own before then. I explained how I felt about that and the chiro was 100% on board with me. He agreed to try acupressure to see if it would help get things going. He said my body is more out of aligment than normal, which indicates there's a lot of Relaxin (a hormone that helps initiate labor). If the acupressure doesn't help me deliver this weekend, he said we can try acupuncture on Monday. If my body is ready, then it will happen. If it's not, then it won't. Works for me!

Well here's yet another belly pic! 36 weeks! :)

Third trimester is here! :)

Well after having a few dizziness episodes and being ignored by 2 hospitals, I finally convinced Dr. K to let me do my lab work a little early. When this all started, I thought it was my blood sugar. I later decided it's gotta be anemia. (I was anemic with my last pregnancy.) Well they finally tested me Tuesday and I was right. I'm anemic and I started my prescription iron pills today. I'm just so glad to know what's going on and I'm praying the pills help to stop the dizziness. Oh...and I passed my glucose test!

I've been going to the chiropractor and he's been such a blessing. Apparently, Kyla is so low that she's causing my pelvic pain. And Lucas is so high up, he's moving one of my lower ribs. (OW!) I can only imagine what will happen as they continue to grow...lol. I'm not 100% sure, but there should be about 5 pounds of baby altogether in my womb now. That's amazing to me considering my first child was 5 pounds even at birth...lol.

Today also marks the start of the 3rd trimester for us! I can't believe we're getting so close!
