37 Weeks Pregnant

Wow, we made it to our goal of 37 weeks! We are so thrilled to have made it to the full term mark for twins! Now it's really just a waiting game (although it's felt that way with anticipation of an early arrival with there being 2).
Over the last week, I decided it was a good idea to spend my last official week of pregnancy relaxing, so no more working for me! It's been really nice to nap when needed and not have to stress about weird work hours with all the doctor's appointments. I'm getting more frequent and more painful contractions now (usually at night when I'm trying to sleep) which is more annoying than anything because I know unless my water breaks or there is some medical reason to deliver the babies now, they will make me wait until 38 weeks.

On the bright side, ONLY 7 MORE DAYS at the most until we get to meet the babies!! I'm telling myself to be patient!


What's Happening Inside My Body?: The babies are packing on the weight still at an estimated amount of .5lbs per week (per the doctor it is a bit less for twins). Their brains and lungs are developing more and more everyday and they have begun to simulate breathing to prepare to be in the outside world.

The Babies Are Each the Size of: Swiss Chard- estimated 6.5lbs
