36 Weeks Pregnant

I'm SOO happy that we've gotten this far. We are only 1 week away from being full term and 2 weeks away from our scheduled C-Section (if the babies don't decide to come sooner), but these babies sure want OUT! They have been kicking and twisting A TON over the last week making it clear they are running out of room in there. I'm still having issues sleeping at night. The babies do not like it when I sleep on 'their side.' When I lay on my right side, Hunter starts kicking up a storm as if to say- HEY GET OFF ME! So then I roll over and Hailey starts to kick as if to say the same thing! UGH. I'm out of options so I end up sitting up in bed.

I was convinced they were going to come over the weekend after having multiple people tell me they had a 'feeling' and even strangers have been noticing how low they are. Well, they are still in there and I'm just trying to be patient now. HA!

I'm definitely ready to be done now with an estimated 12 lbs of baby in me.... 12 POUNDS! No wonder it's hard to do anything/everything. We will find out tomorrow at our doctor's appointment how big they really are- even though the ultrasound can be wrong up to 1/2 lb.

What's Happening In My Body?: The babies are putting on weight at about an ounce a day. They are shedding most of their downy hair that covered their bodies as well as the vernix caseosa (a waxy substance) that protected their skin from amniotic fluid for the last 9 months. Many of the babies systems are mature and there is fat on their cheeks now!! :)

Our Babies Are Each the Size of: A Head of Romaine Lettuce: approx. 20 inches long and 6lbs.
