We made it to 36 weeks, and the babies will definitely be June babies! Their zodiac sign will be Gemini- the symbol for which is the twins 😉 Kind of serendipity.
I am definitely getting more uncomfortable, but I feel extremely lucky that we’ve all made it to 36 weeks.
This week the babies are the size of a head of Romaine lettuce, but a lot heavier! They are still moving a lot, but they really squirm more than kick or punch- proof that they are running out of room. A few times when I’ve laid my hand on my stomach I think I’ve scared them- they jump!
I actually can use my “shelf” quite a bit- especially for holding cans while drinking with a straw. I’ll miss that ability.
It’s also gotten hot, so the pool is definitely my friend in more ways than one. And I can’t seem to get enough to drink. I want one of those beer hats, but filled with water or smoothie or ICEE instead.
We are getting more and more excited to meet them, and of course nervous too. We meet our doctor next week for a “pre-op” appointment. If you had asked me last month, I would have said it seems like I’ve been pregnant for forever. Now it seems like it’s gone by so quickly!
