Boy do I need a vacation!

And this weekend, I will get it!

The hubs and I are heading to Boston this weekend. It is about a 3 hour drive for us and we are staying at a swanky hotel on the harbor. He is taking Friday off and we should arrive around 3 or so. Now, yes, there is a bit more to this. It is also the PAX east convention, and unless your hubby or yourself are gaming geeks, you will have no clue what this is. It is 3 days of geekiness....but I am so okay with that. Nice hotel, no cooking, no cleaning, swimming and one of our good couple friends is going as well, and the boys will pal around and she and I will shop and do girl stuff. So I am super excited. Sort of a last weekend getaway before the babies come.

On the baby front..I got a call on Thursday from a nurse at the doctor's office saying that the doctor wanted me to have an amnio the day before our section. I had a lot of questions, as this had never been discussed with a doctor before. I was anxious all weekend and had a lot of questions. I went to the doctor and saw y favorite one yesterday and discussed it and feel better about it.

Basically they want to check for lung maturity since I won't be in active labor on my own and because of my past diabetes and stuff. I guess I will have it, but I am scared it will hurt. The doctor says there is no risk at all with the amnio and they will only do one baby, so not 2 sticks. It wasn't in my plan, but I guess with babies, you have to go with the flow.

I had no contractions yesterday on the monitor, all was well. My blood pressure is fine, but I do have some swelling in my feet/ankles so I need to elevate them. She said wait until 36 weeks and then if I want to try to bring on labor myself, I can..she said do spicy food and have sex..so we will start at 36 weeks with doing some of the old wives tails and see what it gets us. Other wise in 23, yes 23 days we will have 2 new little boys.
