How far along? 34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +42 lbs
Babies: The beetle twins are the size of butternut squash. No ultrasound this week, but based on the last growth scan, this sounds about right.
Belly: Feels like I am smuggling a very heavy beach ball under my shirt:)
Sleep:
Someone wise once said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I'm going to stay quiet on the sleep issue for the moment.
Best moment this week: Making it to 34 weeks! 10 weeks ago, I was in the hospital getting steroid injections to speed up the babies lung development in case they were born early. I honestly wasn't sure I would still be pregnant in August and thank my lucky stars that no matter how uncomfortable I am now, the babies are growing in my belly and not in the hospital.
Food cravings: Liquids- the colder the better! I think all the fluid I take in is going straight to shrek foot, so maybe that is why I am so thirsty!
Gender: I don't feel strongly one way or the other this week, but I do know that I am getting very anxious to find out!
Labor Signs: More frequent, intense contractions but not in a consistent pattern (yet...)
What I miss: So silly, but I miss giving my house a thorough cleaning! I am sure that will be low on the priority list once babies make their arrival, but until then I wish I could give everything a good scrub!

What
I am looking forward to:The arrival of these two precious loves! We are definitely getting closer!
Milestones: 34 weeks! This feels like the magic week in a twin pregnancy!
Great update - this is the home stretch, I'm so anxious to see the babes, but happier still, that they are growing just where they should be at this time - looking forward to a pic or two from your mom on delivery day!
