35 weeks!

I just went to my doc and she says that all looks good. Might be a few days or weeks. Hard to tell with twins.  I am almost 36 weeks and that is when I enter a safe zone.  My girls are huge!!! Baby A is 5 1/2 lbs & Baby B (sloth) is 6 1/2 lbs.  They might be 7/8 lbs each at birth. We'll see.  I am in constant pain from the weight of the babies.  I have put on 40/50 lbs so far.   I gained 60/70 with Miss Mia. Crazy how different each pregnancy is. The countdown begins!

So here I am at 34 weeks. I am on light bedrest and trying to really relax. I am hoping to keep these ladies in quite a few more weeks. My cervix is soft and I have an appointment tomorrow so we will see what is going on at this  point.  Dan has been working hard on finishing the girls' room.   It looks really good so far.  Reality is slowly creeping up on us.  I'm starting to get excited.  Mia is trying to wear all the new babies clothes and drink out of their bottles. It might be a hard transition for the little bug. 

32nd WEEK!!!

I am now on my 32nd week and the countdown begins.  I have an appointment on Tuesday with Dr. Tang and hope all goes well. I'm a little nervous because I have been getting lots and lots of Braxton Hicks contractions.  I never noticed them when I was pregnant with Mia.  Twins is a totally different experience.  You don't have any idea until it happens to you.  My back aches and my ankles are swollen.  Things that didn't happen before either.  Oh well....I'm still in awe of the fact that we will have two new babies. It's actually really amazing despite all of the difficulties of this pregnancy.  We got an amazing deal on cribs from Overstock.com

The babies room is still a work in progress. I hope it is finished soon.  We still need a glider/rocker and a few other items.

26/27 weeks!!!

Wow!!! Talk about belly popping.  I have gained 30lbs and my belly just keeps getting larger by the minute.  The shower is coming up soon and we are looking forward to it.  I am starting to prepare myself mentally for the fact that we are going to have 2 new babies!!!!! I am still in a daze.  I'm trying to figure out where we can fit them in our house.  They are both kicking like crazy to the point that it hurts. Strong little ladies. Til next time.
