Miserably excited

I’m feel like a whale. My body is bigger than it has ever been. I’m carrying two babies but they didn’t seem to get the message, twins and shouldn’t so big. It’s hot, I’m hot. I can hardly walk, get up, bend over, roll over, or eat. I have feet in my ribs and feet kicking low. Elbows here and another there. Thursday night, Baby B shifted to a new position. Baby A is still wedged head down pretty deep in my pelvis. Baby B moved suddenly and is now angled funny. They are snuggled up but not in a favorable position to make my belly compact. I measuring 43 before and with the shift I measure 46 1/4. And a few pretty stretch marks. The sudden change triggered contractions. I have been contracting regular since Thursday night. My cervix are still firm and closed. I’ve been having about 4-6 contractions an hour, lasting about 30-60 seconds each. My doctor said its normal  to have intense BH contractions late in twin pregnancy. He said they may be the real thing with how intense they are becoming but he said until they pick up they are just a pain to deal with.

I have a couple of excited daddies agar to meet the babies. We are having issues with the paperwork which is adding to the stress. I need them to stay put for a while. We really need to get the paper trail complete before I give birth. So silly it takes so long.
