32 weeks....

Today I am 32 weeks with these two precious babies. I went for a check up today. Baby James weighs 4 lbs and baby Elizabeth weighs 4 lbs 3 oz. They should each keep gaining about 1/2 lb per week, so if I make it to 36-38 weeks, they'll (most likely) weigh between 6-7lbs each. That's a lot of baby in there!!

Right now, he is still head down. That's really good since he's "baby A"--meaning he's closest to my cervix and would be the first to be born. She is head up, but apparently it doesn't matter as much which position baby B is in. They are okay to let me deliver her in a breach position. That's currently the plan. I'd still love to avoid a c-section if possible.

At 32 weeks with twins, my uterus is the size of 40 weeks with a singleton. That's interesting for me because I've never even made it to 40 weeks before!! I have no idea where these people are going to go as they keep growing over the next month, or if I'll have any clothes that fit for the next few weeks. 

Here are my 32 week photos, courtesy of Catherine. She really likes that this is her job. She's also currently using ultrasound pics of the babies as her bookmarks. She's really excited to meet them. She has picked June 20th as their birthday.

Jay decided he would help me hold up my belly for this one. Thanks honey!

And this is my new best friend: a random massager I bought in Ecuador once. It's made out of some kind of tree nuts that is hard as rocks. I keep it by the bed and have to massage the cramps out of my legs and hips almost hourly throughout the night. I also get up to go to the bathroom frequently and sleep with 6-7 pillows. As tired as I am, night time is probably my least favorite part right now because it is so difficult to rest. Oh well....not much I can do about it.

 I'm in "nesting" mode, feeling like I have to get everything done. The nursery should be put together by the end of the week, I've put an extra crib and changing table in our room, some friends are throwing me a shower this weekend, and I plan to get any other baby items I need next week. I figure the first of June we'll install car seats and pack my hospital bag. After that I guess we'll just sit around and look at each other until they get here! We are getting more and more excited about meeting these babies!
