34 Weeks!

We arrived at Week 34 today! Hooray! This is great as we think we will be able to make it to Week 36 which for twins is full term. Most twins arrive by that week so we are so excited that they are still in there cookin'. I spent a week on moderate bed rest and have upgraded to full bedrest. That means I get to sit around and do nothing except for 2 hours a day which means I can make my own meals, take a shower, and go to the bathroom. Yep that is about it. I am able to work from home so I don't have to waste all of my sick and vacation time before they get here. It does seem to be working as my blood pressure was down today and less swelling-except for the hands. They kinda feel like 80 year old arthritic hands not so great. One of the reasons blogging hasn't been as regular...

Here is a bit more info about everyone's progress...

  • Twin A is 4 lbs 12 oz and head down
  • Twin B is 4 lbs 2 oz and jammed into my ribcage...not comfortable
  • Both have hair :)
  • B's head is right at A's rear...lovely start to brotherly love
  • They are still kicking and punching
  • Weight Gain: 40lbs. Not sure it will be much more as it has pretty much stayed the same the last couple of weeks
  • Stomach measured at 39 weeks today
  • Jenny's cravings: none (actually getting a little more picky)
  • Dave's cravings: Popsicles
Week 34
More to come regarding the Shower by Mail and the Nursery...just a little slow these days!

  3. I think you can totally see where baby b is. It's not quite as round as a normal belly is towards the top. :) Hello babies!
