Home and a Plan

I'm gonna make this short. Mostly because my computer has to sit on my belly and it hurts so much from stretching that I can't stand having it sit here for too long.

I came home on Monday. It's been nice to relax on the couch and eat regular food. I feel so much better eating protein again. Sleeping on the other hand has been a nightmare. At the hospital I could prop the bed up so the babies could get out of my lungs at night, at home I can't do that to the bed and I am up all night just tossing and turning and hoping I get comfortable enough to get a couple hours of sleep. Okay tossing and turning is not exactly what I'm doing, in order for me to turn over on my opposite side I have to practically give myself a pep talk "Okay Megan, you can do this, it's just turning over....Okay good attempt this time lets try a little harder. Phew okay you did it. Now you might as well get up and go to the bathroom. WTH! Why aren't your legs working?!?! Well just don't fall over cause there is no way your gonna get up off the floor if you can't even roll over!!". So that basically happens 5 times during the night.

I'm being induced September 30th at 6am via a small dose of pitocin and breaking my water. I will be exactly 36 weeks. I'm hoping for no nicu time but I know it's a possibility and am prepared for that. I'm slightly hoping to go into labor on my own before then, but at the same time I know that anything before 36 weeks is mandatory 24 hour nicu observation. My nursery is a total wreck and nothing is ready for the babies. I don't know what I'm going to do if I have a csection because I have so much that I need to do in this house. I may ask to be taken off bedrest at the end of next week just so I can get a few things ready. I have almost everything I need, but nothing is washed so it can't be used yet. I was planning on having until at least 32 weeks to get things ready and then I thought if I happened to have the twins too early I would at least have time to get things done while they were in the nicu. I never in 1,000,000 years thought I would be on strict bed rest starting at 28 weeks and ending at a delivery time where they would be big enough to take home. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gotten things ready so much faster, but who plans on this?

That's basically all my news. I have two appointments next week and I need to pack my bags before those appointments. Even after all of this, I don't have a bag packed. lol. 

It's small but this is my countdown board that we updated everyday.
