On to 37 Weeks

Hooray for 37 weeks today!  At our last ultrasound, they estimated both babies to be about 5.5 pounds. I'm so glad that they are over the five pound mark!  That makes me feel sooo much better!  We are now playing the waiting game.  Maybe they will come this week; maybe not.  I'm trying not to be too anxious about it all, haha.
Today I set up the co-sleeper, so it will be ready for the babies when they are.  Little projects keep getting done, so life is moving on.  It's hard to feel like everything is in limbo right now, and I'm tired of being pregnant, but not certain I'm so tired of it that I'm ready for TWO little ones!  My midwife thinks they will come this week, but I doubt it right now.  I think they want to hang out for another week or two.  I felt like they were going to come at any moment around 35 weeks, but not nearly so much now!  Funny how it was so much work doing out best to make sure they stayed in, and now it's getting close to the time where they need to vacate their cozy space!  We will see if they stay in another week, or if there will be babies next week!

We made it to 36 weeks!

Today I hit the big 36 week mark!  I find that very exciting, but it also hit me that very soon, perhaps any day, we will have two new baby girls in our family!  Wow!  While I'm ready to be done being pregnant, I'm not quite sure I'm ready for that yet!  My home birth stuff is pretty much all together, and I have a short(ish) list of things I really want to get done before these bundles of joy arrive.
At the last BPP, both were head down still, and scored an 8/8.  I still feel like it's a bit overkill to continue all these ultrasound checks, because I'm 99.9% sure that everything is awesome, but just on that tiny chance I continue to go.  I have an internal dilemma with that every time.
My baby shower was last weekend, and it was so fun to see all my friends that I haven't seen much lately.  We now have carseats for these little ones, as well as an abundance of cute, matching clothes, Moby wraps and pacifiers.  Theses babies are spoiled already!  I am so grateful for all of my family and friends!
Yesterday we attempted to do family/maternity pictures, but the weather was quite uncooperative.  It started to hail/snow on us!  I stuck it out and got some belly shots, but the rest of it will wait until tomorrow.  I'm praying the weather is as nice as it's supposed to be!
So, now the real countdown begins... will it be tonight or four weeks from now?  I just know it's the next big thing for us right now!

35 Weeks!

Today I am 35 weeks pregnant with our twin girls!  I'm so excited to have hit this mark, as many twin mamas don't make it so far!  Our ultrasound yesterday showed that baby A is about 4 lb, 7oz., and baby B is about 4 lb., 15 oz.  That's over a pound more for each baby since our last ultrasound 2 weeks ago! Those creamscicle protein shakes must be doing the trick.  Also, this is the day that clears us for a home birth for our twins.  We had our home visit with our midwife on Monday so that we would be ready for birth as soon as they could be born at home.  I finished a little project in our bathroom with some fabulous art on the walls of my other babies at the beach.  There are new little blankets and hats made during my couch time, and clothes are washed and ready to go!  I'm hoping that these babies cook another couple weeks and gain some more weight, but it's definitely getting close now!  Crazy!
