31 Week checkup

Had my 31 week checkup and ultrasound on Tuesday. All went real well. The babies are still right on track and weighing in at nearly the same weight.
I'm on the verge of hitting my 8th month in less than a week and starting to feel a bit more drained. Carrying around the extra weight takes it's toll to say the least.
This coming week will be my last week at work and then it's on to rest and nesting for the remainder of the pregnancy. We're hoping that I'll go 39 weeks, but more likely it'll be 37 or 38. Time will tell.
Baby A - the Girl is still head down on my left and lying very low so they were once again unable to get a good look at her face, Baby B - the Boy is head down as well, on my right, but up a little higher. The Dr. was able to get his mug shot this go around. No idea what the bits and bobs are surrounding him, but the Doc managed to get a cute profile.
Here he is...

6 1/4 pounds o' baby

Went for my 29 week checkup last Tuesday. Everything is progressing nicely. Both babies came in at almost exactly the same weight. Also, they each weighed more than the average singleton. The doctor was very impressed and happy with everything he saw. Phew... although, the Dr. quipped that I'm gonna be miserable come October. (because of the size of them) - Not something I wanted to hear! Couldn't get any good pics this time. They are getting too big to fit the ultrasound image to see anything clearly. bummer.
I'm going to try to work until the end of August. That's 3 weeks away and will give me about 6 weeks (I'm guessing) of sitting around the house - and when I say sitting AROUND the house... hardy har...
Yesterday we went to an all day Childcare class where we learned the phases of birth, what to expect during the hospital stay and how to care for the babies. They gave us two baby dolls to hold for the entire 7 hour class. Dave changed his first diapers ever and learned how to swaddle!

Baby A: 3lb. 2oz.
Baby B: 3lb. 2oz.
Weight Gain to date: 40 lbs.

What Talent!

No, not me - or the twins for that matter...
My good friend, carpool buddy and cube mate, Beth Sleven made us these adorable onsies for the Wondertwins.

You'll have to bypass the infested mutant zombie giraffe to see some more cute though!

I missed my ultrasound this past Thursday - very long story, basically a stupid mix up. But I rescheduled for this Tuesday August 7th, so hopefully next weekend I'll get a chance to post some new images.

This coming Saturday we'll be spending the whole day in baby care classes. Hopefully we'll be better prepared for the upcoming onslaught of feedings and diaper changes!
