36 weeks

I had to do a bare belly - you just can't understand how big I am. It is unreal.




Here is what twins look like at 36 weeks.

I had a sort of eventful NST this morning. Both boys looked great on the monitors, but one of them kept jumping off! You need a solid 20-30 minutes of both babies looking good, and we kept having to start over. Finally, they wheeled the u/s machine in to find out exactly what was going on. Sure enough, my higher-presenting baby has a little more room, and was just jumping away from the monitors every chance he got!

They finally got a good strip of both boys, and sent me on my way. However, once I got to the first floor, I saw a girl who maybe looked HALF as pregnant as me. She was all smiles, had her pillow, boppy, husband, and bags! Someone asked them - is it time? And they happily answered, "yes!!" Ugggggh...I was feeling very annoyed by them. I wanted to say - you don't even look miserable! I could eat you AND your baby for lunch!

But I got over it and was thankful again for still being pregnant when I read online about a girl today who went into labor at nearly 24 weeks and lost her twin boys : ( Life can be so cruel and unfair, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason. So I am blissfully still pregnant, thankful, and VERY aware of how lucky I am.

You look great! I am thinking that the boys will both weigh 5 lbs something. Love the room! It turned out great!! We have those exact swings in our family room. Just a little space saver trick depending on what vibrating chairs you have we have the boppy ones they fit perfectly underneath the swings for storage.

You look so great and I am so happy for you! I can't believe your boys are almost here. I'll be praying for you as your big day approaches! :) I am also pregnant with twins (18 weeks) and have a 17 month old daughter, so I've loved following your blog. (And we are also blessed by IVF!) It's so exciting to see how you're doing. . . hang in there and we are thinking about you!! Please keep the updates coming:)
