Week 35

I had my weekly OB appointment and the babies passed the NST again with flying colors. I don't think they are ever coming out. We will have another NST next Tuesday and our last appointment with the specialist on Thursday. Our goal is to have Baby A between 5 1/2 - 6lbs and Baby B between 5 - 5 1/2 lbs. If she is less than 5 pounds we probably will have to discuss a csection date soon since she isn't getting what she needs. Otherwise, we are planning a csection date between 38-39 weeks.

We found out some disappointing news this week. No one will be able to visit me or the twins in the hospital. They are on complete lockdown for the OB floor so the only person who can come and go is S. It is not exactly how I wanted to celebrate their birth, but the hospital is taking every precaution they can to keep us all safe.

How your baby's growing:
Your babies don't have much room to maneuver now that they are over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, they are not likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times they kick should remain about the same. Their kidneys are fully developed now, and their liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — they'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

My Progress:
I am still at the 20 pound mark but I am definitely getting larger. I had a person ask me for the first time if I am having more than one. I received my H1N1 vax so hopefully I can avoid anyone who has it for the next 10 days until it kicks in. It is getting harder and harder because we know so many people who are getting sick now.



Babies Room:
With the exception of a window treatment and my chair, we are finished!! Here is a video of the room.
