We got to see the boys today!

We had our monthly ultrasound today. 34 weeks and the boys are growing and growing! We weren't able to get a very accurate weight on Baby A because his head was so low she couldn't get a good measurement (mind you the tech tipped the table back so far I felt like I was hanging from my toes!). She estimates his weight to be at least 4lbs 7oz. Baby B was very cooperative- he is about 5lbs 3oz. Both are up from 3lbs 5oz last time. Wow- that's almost 10lbs of baby at 34 weeks! Imagine if I make it the whole way.

I also visited my OB this afternoon. No weight lecture this time- I gained 10lbs in 3 weeks! But I guess when you figure the boys have gained almost 4... Everything else looked fine as usual. Dr said to start weekly visits to her- joy! I asked about scheduling the C-section. She didn't want to schedule yet but said that she would probably do it Aug 14th (38w 4d) or Aug 17th (39w). That seems so far away! I guess the boys will make the final call on that though, I could always go into labor early. We definitely want to keep them in as long as possible- I'll just make a bigger dent in the couch waiting for them!

33 weeks

Yea! We've made it to 33 weeks! Every week is another 1/2 a pound or so for each of the boys (according to my pregnancy books). It amazes me though how much this pregnancy has changed in the past week to week and a half. I went from feeling so good and being pretty active to ugg! I'm so uncomfortable and tired all the time! I still feel so blessed to be pregnant and have escaped any complications so far with this pregnancy I don't mean to complain. But the "weight" of carrying two babies around in me is starting to take it's toll on my body. I've started having Braxton Hicks contractions here and there but nothing consistent or too painful. I'm trying to stay away from too much salt as my feet are starting to swell with that and the heat (but Mmm those french fries were good the other day!).
The nursery is getting closer to being done. We are finishing up painting a book/toy shelf for under the large window. Then I can get the books and toys put away. Derek and Grandpa Reyelts will hang the closet door soon. I have finished sorting the clothes into tubs by size and have several big piles of laundry for Grandma Ring to help me with. Oh, and I want to make some curtains to dress up the mini blinds too. The list is never ending! I will post pictures once it's done.
Ultrasound and 34 week OB appt next Wednesday 7/15
