That’s when the eviction noticed will be served, if the twins have not vacated the premises before then on their own. The end is in sight!
At the sonogram this week, we were hoping to hear both babies had turned. Well, they had. But in the wrong direction. They’re pretty much standing up inside me now – heads up, faces forward, feet down. Pretty much the 100% opposite of what we were hoping. What this means is that I will have to have a c-section, unless they somehow manage to squeeze themselves into a last minute spin and get head down. The dr. said that medically, that would be a miracle. So while I am disappointed, and a little scared of a c-section, at least I have time to get used to the idea. I was sad about missing out on labor, believe it or not. But then I had my first contraction that actually hurt at about 4 am Thursday morning, and decided I’m not so sad about that anymore! We are scheduled for June 15 at the latest, but both the doctor and I think labor will start on its own before then, at which time I’d just go in and have the surgery. On the bright side, they won’t have coneheads, and we get a few extra days in the hospital.
The really good news is that they both are still growing well and appear healthy. The sonogram says they are both over 4 pounds now, which is right where they would be if they were single babies. He is still a little larger than her, and they still have big round heads and short little legs. Their heads are right next to eachother, so at least she’s not kicking him in the skull anymore.
The doctor says I gained 8 pounds in two weeks – I think that’s a crock. They weighed me on a different scale two weeks ago, which said I hadn’t gained anything in that two weeks, so I’m just averaging it out to 8 in the last month, which I feel okay about. My belly measures about 39 weeks now, and with a potential for 6 more weeks to grow, I can’t even imagine how big I’m going to be.
Here’s the picture for 32 weeks:
