Almost 36 weeks!

I am almost 36 weeks! This has been the milestone I have been focused on since finding out I was pregnant with twins. The average gestation for twins is 35 weeks. Luckily, I have made it to my milestone with the help of bedrest…or as I so affectionately term it, couch-rest! My doctor pulled me out of work about three weeks ago, but I am lucky my company has allowed me to continue to work from home. This definitely makes the days go much quicker…and it’s funny, I actually think I get more done now than I did when I was going into the office every day!


As of last weeks’ appointment, the girls are still doing great. I haven’t gotten an ultrasound on them since my 33 week appointment…but I am guessing they are somewhere around 5 ½ pounds apiece. We will find out on Monday! I haven’t gained any weight in almost a month, but as long as they are gaining, that’s all that matters. I am holding steady at 30 pounds. As of my last check I am still not dilated at all, but am about 70-80% effaced, which means my cervix is extremely thin. Also, Baby A’s head is extremely low…the doctor has mentioned that he can feel it at my last two checks. Seems like she’s ready to make her debut! I have had contractions on and off for about a week now, but only a few a day. Who knows, I may actually make it to my induction / c-section date of May 18th! It is pretty much up in the air at this point!

Baby B is still head down as well, so as long as she doesn’t flip, we are going to try to deliver them vaginally. Crossing my fingers!

Also, things are moving along with the show ‘One Born Every Minute’. Kevin and I filmed an interview with them on Wednesday, and it went really well. Gut tells me that we will make it on the show, which is exciting and extremely nerve wracking at the same time. Hopefully, I won’t say or do anything dumb! Definitely never a dull moment!

I am breaking my couch-rest tomorrow and getting maternity pictures taken. I hope they turn out well…(and hope this darn rain stops long enough to get some good pics!) I will post some when I can.
