In the beginning of my pregnancy with the twins, it seemed like every person I talked to said "Ohh, twins! How wonderful!... they'll be born really early and really tiny". So, I had kind of mentally prepared myself to go into pre-term labor with the girls starting as early as 30 weeks. Each week that went by, I thought okay not this week! Now I'm at 38 weeks and 3 days (considered full term with a singleton and considered "fully cooked" by many doctors and twin moms who know how it feels to be a beached whale).
I'm just thankful to have kept them cooking to full term. The girls should be about 6 or 7 pounds each right now, which I am curious to find out. I have an OB appointment today with ultrasound, which is always amazing.
While my mom was visiting a few weeks ago, the sonographer did a 3D ultrasound for us unexpectedly. I could not believe how much detail we could see on the screen - it was like we were actually taking a peek into my belly and looking at the girls face to face! I'm going to include a few ultrasound pictures, and a belly picture from a few weeks ago (I need to take a new one, because I'm sure that I'm even bigger now!)
