Had an ultrasound yesterday and met with the high risk specialist. She didn't bother checking my cervix this time because she said that they won't try to stop me if I go into labour at this point. So I guess it could happen any day. Eeeks!
The kidney problem with the one baby has not changed. At the last ultrasound it had gotten bigger in proportion with the baby's growth, this time it didn't grow at all since last time while the baby did grow. So this is good.
They are both breech (and have been in this position for at least four weeks) and its unlikely that they'll turn - not enough room in there. So it will likely be a c-section and I'm surprisingly ok with that! It hasn't been scheduled yet, but it will definitely be before the 38.5 weeks mark.
As of yesterday their estimated weights were 5.6 lbs and 7.0 lbs while the average weight for a baby at 34 weeks according to baby.com is 4.75 lbs. That means I'm carrying around close to 13 lbs of baby! No wonder I'm so tired!

Wow, thats alotta baby. Good healthy weight for twins I think. Lol my smallest was 5.4 and biggest 6.4.
Keep resting while you can. Oh this is so exciting !!!! (((BIG HUGS)))
WOW!
Congrats, girl, we're all thinkin' bout you. And that IS (or should that be ARE) a lot of baby (babies)!
Methinks it's time I started pacing...
We're closin' in on one week to the...event of a lifetime!
I'm a nervous wreck.
Anna, I agree with Jonas! How are you and the babies doing? Can you still get up and move around????
Thinking of you!
FIVE DAYS TO GO...how's things?
Gentle hugs...
just me - The doctor says they are "well nourished". I wonder if that's code for chubby. ;)
WW - A lot of baby(ies) indeed. I'm amazed that I haven't been put on complete bed rest.
Jonas - I would pace too if I could. Maybe you could do the pacing for me. :) And you can't be a nervous wreck! I was going to ask you to fly out to Montreal and be my rock!
Ponygirl - The babies are doing great, but I think they're trying to kill me. No one expected this pregnancy to last this long and my body is definitely taking a beating. I move (waddle, actually) but verrrrry slowly. No position or movement is comfortable. I feel old and disabled and I don't like it one bit. I want my body back to functioning the way it did before.
WW (again) - Things are crazy. See new post.
Yer gonna do just fine...and the BABIES, too!
Trust me on this!
