Baby Update

The car seats are in the van. Our hospital bags are packed. The crib is set up. The dresser is packed with all sorts of cute girly clothes. The house is as organized and as clean as I can get it. I have enough diapers to last us at least a week.... maybe...

I am 35 weeks and a few days and feel like these babies could come any time! 36 weeks is average time for twins to come so I have almost made it to my goal. I now have to see the doctor at least once, sometime 3, times a week. Between stress tests on the babies, ultrasounds, and doctor visits I am a regular there.

The babies for the last month or so have not changed positions. Baby A is breech sitting down low and Baby B is transverse curled up under my ribs so I will most likely have a c-section. My doctor tells me that he will not schedule a c-section until I am 39 week so January 13th will be the day unless I go into labor before that. I really really really hope I go into labor before that :-). I am having a lot of contractions so I hope that means it is sooner than later.

Each baby at this point is getting closer to 6 pounds and are around 18 inches long and are doing great ( I will tell you their exact stats next Wednesday after another growth ultrasound). I have been lucky to not have to go on bed rest. I am measuring far beyond 40 weeks and have been now for about a month and I am just super duper uncomfortable, having a hard time sleeping, and dealing with everything else that comes along with being ginormously pregnant. All in all though things are going really well and we are super excited. It is so weird to think there are really two babies in there, though recently it feels like arms and legs everywhere. I sometimes think they are fighting because both will just start kicking and pushing like crazy. The poor things are probably defending the little room they have left.

Oh and I think we have committed to names though we are not sure who is who yet. Samantha and Kaitlin. Got any ideas for middle names? Picking two first names was hard enough!
