I am at 35 weeks now. It was another of my goals. 13 weeks, out of first trimester. 17 weeks, find out sexes. 20 weeks, half way. 28 weeks, viable. 32 weeks, I can deliver at the hospital I wanted to. 35 weeks, Well I'm not sure what to call this week. Painful maybe, exciting, maybe ready?At my NST on Thursday when the nurse was starting the US to find out where to place the monitors, I told her they were both breech, so start out on top. She said, lets just look over here first. And wouldn't you know it. Baby A had turned head down. HUGE excitement. I no longer am in for a planned C-section. It could still happen, but for right now, I can just go into labor on my own. My biggest worry about a CS was not even recovery. It was not being able to hold my baby right after delivery. Which, depending on how quickly the girl comes out, may still not happen. BUT, I at least want that option. The downside of the boy going head down, not planned CS. I do not have an evacuation date anymore. I guess we may still get one, but it's more of a play it by ear scenario. Other downside. His head is now engaged in my pelvis, and it hurts. It hurts to walk to stand, to go up stairs. I'm afraid this pregnancy has added 10 years to me. There is also a lot less movement. They have run out of room, so the movement I do get is painful, and more stretching than kicking.
And as a side note, keep in mind, if you have told me in the past 10 weeks that I look great for carrying twins, the growing part is just getting started. I bet in the next 3 weeks, I will double in size. Ouch. Oh and to the woman that keeps saying 'you need a wagon someone can pull you in, look at you waddle' go bite rocks. Yes, I see this person often, and the joke is getting old. AND, if you can't tell , I am not in the mood.

Holy smokes You are on the home stretch! YAY. I don't know a single woman whether carrying multiples or not that wants to be told they need a wagon or they waddle...I loved with my last one when one woman told me how huge I was getting....Um thanks I felt so beautiful as is....But I am sure you are beautiful you always have been.
It will all be over before you know it, and then think of all the great stories you have (trying to stay positive for you:) You are amazing, just though you should know!
People with rude comments...it just never makes sense to me. Keep your chin up - I'm proud of you!
I love the picture of Eva sleeping on top of Emma. ;-) and my comment is the same to those women who tell me I look like I'm carrying multiples with 10 weeks left. I say "bite rocks". How rude. What happened to, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say it" or common sense. Although you're hanging in there positively and we're all just waiting for those two little babies to make their way here. I'm sorry your hips and joints hurt. I can't imagine what it would feel like to be carrying twins or the equivalent of 40 wks gestation for weeks/months on end. I'm anxious to hear how your US goes Friday. Keep us updated.
I'm so glad things are looking good with the twins! I can't wait until you have your babies...you're the greatest mom. As for the rude woman, she must be one brave chick for picking on a pregnant woman.....next time just lay her flat :). Hang in there!
