33 and 34 Weeks

And it's a BIG bump!

I'm being dramatic, but just take a look - the bump is big!

33 Weeks

34 Weeks

My New Talent

That's my dinner plate balancing on my belly :)  

It comes in handy when you can no longer see your lap!

Updates

- Both babies are doing so well.  

Every week I have a BPP (Biophysical profile) done where the 

doctors do an ultrasound to measure the babies development.  

They look for breathing movements to gauge their lung strength, their heart rates, 

muscle development (basically just if they are moving around), and amniotic fluid levels.  

Every week both babies have passed with flying colors!

- Both babies are still breech

- My contractions are happening about 5-6 times a day

- I'm starting to dilate more, but just on one side of the cervix, the other side is still basically closed.

- I'm definitely starting to feel more uncomfortable, but I feel very

lucky that I've made it this far with twins without having had much discomfort.  

My hands and feet are swelling and I definitely have the pregnancy waddle :)

- My bed rest has been modified a little bit and now I can be up more!  

I still have to take it easy (which isn't a problem because even getting up

 from the couch is quite the struggle haha) but the Dr. gave 

me the OK to do things like go to the store or to a restaurant.  

I just have to listen to my body!  And believe me, I hear my body loud and clear 

when it's saying, "Time to lay down!" 

The thing that AMAZES me is that in 25 days or less our babies will be here!  That's just 3.5 weeks away.  CRAZY!!!  I'm soooooo excited!
