Pictures All Around

First of all, make sure to go here and guess when you think the girls will arrive! All of you, grandparents, long-time friends, and non-commenting "blog stalkers" (as you call yourselves ;) too! There's a prize involved!

I both love and dislike when Addie does this...but she actually asked me to take her picture here, so how could I object!?! Maybe her relationship w/ the camera is improving! Not sure how she's going to react to my new big camera...but more about that later!

My appointment went well yesterday, and both girls heart rates were fabulous on the non-stress test.  I'm having stronger contractions, but nothing to be overly concerned about. My OB did move my scheduled c-section date up to May 3rd. Whoohoo is all I can say! I gathered that he's concerned about my scar from the surgery combined with the size of the girls. I am still wishfully hoping that I will just go into labor sometimes during week 37 and not even make it to that point! BUT, the longer these little girls stay put, the stronger their little lungs will be. And that's worth every minute of uncomfortable aches, racing to the potty, shortness of breath, dizziness, and crazy blood pressure jumps.

We got a surprise ultrasound yesterday too. I won't share details since everyone is guessing weights; I'll just say that it once again confirmed why I'm exhausted and uncomfortable carrying this much baby around!

But the tech got some great shots of the girls. I could just sit and watch them all day! They were (as usual) very active, still very breech/transverse, and growing bigger by the minute (ok, that's an exaggeration, but it's how I feel!).

Here's Baby A: perfect little profile!

Here's Baby B: perfect little profile + a hand sticking up there on the left!

And here are their heads. This is the best the tech could get of them both on the same screen because of their position and size.

And you can go here to see a 36 week 1 day belly picture! I promised myself that if I made it this far, I'd have to take another one! Kinda interesting compared to 33 weeks + 2 days and 28 weeks + 1 day! And I felt big then! Ha! They are just growing farther and farther out front, but growing babies means maturing lungs!!!

Happy Wednesday!
