That’s right, we found out yesterday that baby “A” is estimated to be 4 lbs. 9 oz. and baby “B” is estimated to be 4 lbs. 12 oz.! That’s almost 10 lb. of baby! They each seem to be putting on about a pound every 2 weeks. So, I am hoping to hold out for 2 more weeks. The perfect time would be around 36 weeks (July 26) to have them. I am 33.5 weeks and marching toward 34 this weekend. After this weekend, if I go into labor that’s that! They would ideally be about 5.5 lbs. each- which is what Lucy was too. Obviously the bigger the better though, so as long as it takes to have healthy babies that is fine. I’m not gonna lie though, this is getting tough. Its bad enough being uncomfortable moving around and doing normal life things like “walking”, but now just sitting and laying around is not comfortable! Also having a few “warm up” contractions each day now. They are painless and just feel like a lot of pressure, but still since I never had them with Lucy are a little unnerving.

Very exciting- our little picky eater ate a whole bunch of spaghetti elbows tonight! Whoo hoo! Progress! Maybe she’ll give up her goldfish addiction a little and start to eat other kinds of “real” food. Imagine.. veggies!
In other news, today was the 2nd non stress test and bio physical profile on the twins at the hospital. Things look fine and the baby on my right side, who will most likely be born first- “Baby A”, is 3lbs. and 11 oz. and the baby on my left, “baby B”, is 3 lbs., 13 oz. They are pushing 4 lbs.! That’s over 7 lbs. of baby. They are already bigger together than Lucy was at 5 lbs. and 8 oz. 31 weeks- 32 here I come! Also, the Dr. said after 34 weeks, if I go into labor, they won’t stop me, but they won’t probably let me go past 38 weeks or around Aug. 9th.
