So today I am officially 32 weeks, which is 8 months.
I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT!! Yes, I yelled that out loud when I typed it. heh.
We had our ultrasound appt with the OB today. The kiddos are huge!! (compared to last time anyways :-)
They both weigh about 3.5 lbs which is good but Baby A is just a little bit bigger than baby B. Their little feet are about 2.5 inches.
They are still girls, very obviously haha. I was like yeah...def a girl. They are both head down, which is awesome. Of course they can still move, but considering the amount of room they have, from what I've read its about this time they kind of keep their position. Especially twins since they have much less room. The doc said everything looks fine, and in a month they want me to have the babies. I was like whoa. That is soon. She asked about my contractions and since I'm basically not having them anymore we don't have to be concerned about it. And I guess she didn't need to check my dilation since I'm not having contractions. I don't have to have another ultra sound for month, which is around when they want me to have the babies. Although my midwife said she might do one in the mean time just to do it. I have like 4 appointments with her in the next month or so, so even though I don't have to have an ultrasound I will still be going to the midwife. We also asked about the possibility of them not being able to be at our birth, like under what circumstances that would happen. They basically said barring any emergency there is no reason they won't be there. So that is very comforting. That was basically it. Not very eventful this time around, other than the comfort of knowing that all is well :-)
Tomorrow is my last day of work at the preschool. I'm both excited about it and sad. I am excited because obviously it's nice not to work but I love the women I work with. Honestly they've been a great support too, between the 3 of them they've had 14 kids! lol. So they are quite experienced. So any questions I had or worries I could just ask them about and they gave me lots of advice. Good advice. I plan on staying in touch, because they are wonderful people.
So, I am working on the pictures. I have taken several I just need to post them. My computer ran of room to download them so I have to get them on Chris' computer and then upload them. Sorry about that.
Well that is all I've got. Nothing very exciting going on what so ever. Just being large and getting stretch marks :-( blah.
I do have 7 lbs of baby inside me though so I have a good excuse :-)
Good day to all :-)

your babys' feet are the size of my baby! HAH! So are they going to induce you in a month? I'm not sure what you mean by "they want me to have them in a month"... like, they are hoping you do or they are going to make it happen?? Just curious! :)
AH! soooo exciting! i've got about a month too!!!! : ] my baby is the weight of your babies combined! haha. good thing they only expect you to hold out for one more month. carrying around 6+ pounds is exhausting! can you still tie your shoes? lol. i can kind of, but it's easier if ben just does it for me. yay for babies!!!
Emily D.--I am not sure they are planning on inducing, they just said 36 weeks is good. I don't want to be induced, at least not chemically so I guess we will see. I have a birth class this Sat with the midwife so I will ask about that :-)
Emily Ann--that is crazy your baby is the weight of both of mine combined! I am interested to see how much they weigh in a month, I hope they both get to at least 5 lbs. I don't want them to have to stay in the hospital. I want to bring them home! I worked on my hopsital bag some more today. I think I am good to go. I just have to get everything together for the babes! You are 40 weeks in Jan yes??
