  • How far along are you? What's new with your little babe? 34 weeks.  He's the size of butternut squash and weighs about 5 pounds. 

    What are you doing to prepare for the baby's arrival this week?  We had my baby shower last week so we're FINALLY ready to start on his room.  We're picking up the rest of the paint this weekend and will start clearing out the room.  We did a 3D/4D ultrasound session this week so the grandparents could sit and watch.  It was amazing.  There wasn't a dry eye in the room. 

    Questions / Symptoms / Rants / Raves:  Hearburn, trouble sleeping, and I'm still dealing with this sinus infection although my symptoms have subsided. 

    When's your next appointment?  Regular appointment on December 22.  After that we will start going once a week! Yikes!

    GTKY: Other than a healthy baby, what are you hoping for during the holiday season? I'm looking forward to my brother flying home and spending the day with my family.  We eat a lot of food, watch holiday movies and just enjoy our time together.

  • How far along are you? What's new with your little babe? 
    36 weeks.  Baby A is head down and so low I feel like it's about to fall out.  Baby B is breech and way up in my kidney.  Both are now over 6lbs each!

    What are you doing to prepare for the baby's arrival this week?
    I HAVE to install the car seats this weekend.  Apparently DH is incapable of this task?

    Questions / Symptoms / Rants / Raves:
    Feeling giant at this point and generally uncomfortable.  But I am so grateful to have made it this far with twins.  I told DH this week that I am amazed at what my body has been able to do.

    When's your next appointment?
    OB and NST today.

    GTKY: Other than a healthy baby, what are you hoping for during the holiday season?  
    I'm hoping that these two come before Christmas and we can all spend Christmas at home for our first time as a family of 5.

    34 weeks! LO is head down. :)

    What are you doing to prepare for the baby's arrival this week?
    Tomorrow we are going to Ikea to find either a dresser or some kind of storage we can use in a small apartment. All his stuff is piled in one spot, so it's probably time to get it all organized and put away. lol

    All the same symptoms as the last month, just getting more intense. Although I actually made an appointment to go to a chripractor next week to see if I can get some of this back pain relieved. D:

    Next Saturday.

    GTKY: Other than a healthy baby, what are you hoping for during the holiday season?
    NO DRAMA!
    Usually some Aunt/Uncle gets in a huge fight with either my dad or another Aunt/Uncle or cousin... Hoping that doens't happen this year. But you know. Family. Lol

    Plus something usually always comes up with my In-Laws. DH just got over a big fight with his parents and all is good so far, but he's on iffy terms with his brothers so we'll see how that goes.... lol

    It's just that time of year!! LOL
