32 Weeks

I can't believe I'm 32 weeks already, I'm getting excited, but also very nervous.(Hanna took my picture).

Some of you have wanted to know my birth plan, so I'm planning on having a home birth (I had a home birth with Van). You can have a home birth if you make it to 36 weeks and if everything looks good. My midwife has still had mothers go past there due date with twins I'm shooting for 38 weeks (around Sept. 10th) my due date for a singleton is Sept. 24th. My pregnancy has definitely been different this time around. First of all I've never been this tired during pregnancy before, but that's hard to say because I've never had 3 little ones to take care of as well. My second trimester was probably the hardest (so far), which is usually the very best trimester; if I wasn't constantly eating I would dry heave (which I never get sick) and my legs at night would hurt when I tried to turn over or get out of bed (like my nerves or something) this still hurts, but worse last trimester. I heard it's because everything is growing much faster. I'm much bigger/wider than I've ever been as well. When I met with my midwife at 29 weeks I was measuring 37 weeks along. I'll meet with her next week and she'll check me to see how everything is looking and I'll get an ultrasound as well to see the babies position. The other thing that's different is when the babies move, it's much more drastic (I feel Walt the most and that's because he's more to the top and Daisy is under him). Anyway I'll let you know how my appointment goes next week.

Wow! You look so good! Do you think you will go 40 weeks? Or is it different with twins? I know you do things all natural (your the woman) tell us your birthing plan...it's so exciting to me, I love that stuff:)
Are you comfortable, how has this pregnacy gone for you so far? Compared to carrying one baby?
