37 Weeks

Well, I shouldn't be surprised by this, but somehow I am...we're still pregnant! We're so thankful to have carried these two to full term, as so many twins - and even many singletons - don't make it this far. We had an appointment on Monday and things continue to look great for both babies. They have both decided to turn head down, which is exactly what we wanted. In theory this means our chances of needing a C-section are reduced. There are no guarantees, but we'll take what we can get! Baby A was weighed in at an estimated 5 lbs and 12 oz while Baby B was at an estimated 7 lbs and 4 oz! The sonographer told us that she thought Baby B doesn't not actually weigh that much, and although I'm no expert, I agree! I'm guessing they are both in the 6 lb range and could easily hit 7 lbs if they stay in much longer.

In addition to being thankful for their size and health, we've been able to really enjoy our last few weeks as a family of two! Not knowing if each day would be our last together without kids has been fun, as we've allowed ourselves to be a little more free with our time and spending. I can't even count how many times we've eaten out this month! Joey has truly spoiled me rotten. I'm always dropped off and picked up at every possible door, he helps me in and out of the car, holds my hand in icy parking lots, carries bags, helps me with dishes, cleans up things around the house (he even cleaned the bathroom this week - that is love!), gives me lots of back rubs, pushes me so I can get out of bed, etc. You get the idea - he's been great!

I know some of you are curious about my size, so I'm willing to humor you and post yet another picture of my ginormous beach ball belly. I decided to take this picture wearing a shirt that I wore in my 24-week picture, just so I could compare the two of them. As you can see, my clothes really don't fit well anymore, but I refuse to spend money on something I may only wear for a couple of weeks or even days!
